Wake Up Over 40 Skin with Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal

It may seem like deja vu as I did a post a while ago about Miracle Skin Transformer, but they've come out with a Treat & Conceal formula that's worth checking out.

It's officially called Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal Eye & Face, for anyone who wants to Google it. The new Treat & Conceal formula is similar in feel and texture to the original Miracle Skin Transformer, except this has more coverage and skips the sunscreen.

If you can imagine your favorite primer, kicked up a notch to include coverage in a skin tone-matching shade, then you've sort of got what Treat & Conceal is all about. It does glide on much like a silicone-based primer, but even though its got that "slip" feel to it, it does cover and it doesn't "move" once applied.

What I did find is that if you've got darker undereye circles, this may not provide enough coverage for you. But for lighter, everyday coverage where you just want over 40 skin to look a bit more awake, this is great. Besides, most women don't really want the heavier coverage of take-no-prisoners concealers like Dermablend for everyday wear--particularly in the hotter summer months when humidity is high (or, for that matter, in winter when dry skin leaves heavier concealers accentuating every fine line and wrinkle).

So what's in this formula--aside from a brighter, more "awake" look--for over 40 skin? In addition to marine collagen and vitamin K, Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal has ceramides to help restore skin's own barrier system (ie, it helps water retention (the good kind) to help keep skin's moisture balance).

The color part of the formula is mineral based which is great for those with more sensitive skin. Typically, mineral makeup doesn't mix well with over 40 skin--it can accentuate fine lines and wrinkles with a settling effect upon application--but as this is a creme formula, and it has silicones, no worries there.

There's really not much to not like about this one. It's available at Beauty.com and Lord & Taylor, and goes for about $36. Available in 3 shades: Light, Light/Medium and Medium.

  2. Some women might be discouraged to buy this product because of the price - $36 for the size of 0.5 ml. That's too much. Am not yet in my 40's, but who knows, this product really works.
