i was contemplating between pre-ordering rare beauty tinted moisturizer or nars foundation, or... getting a local brand concealer and skin tint. i was eyeing mad for makeup concealer or RADC concealer one. unfortunately, at that time, RADC concealer one was out of stock for my shade, and this one was sold out in my shade as well, but the special edition in BT21 version still had my shade, so i decided to get this one. i was intrigued as they promoted their products as a 2-in-1, a makeup infused with skincare. looking at the reviews, mostly it gave positive comebacks, so hopefully it also works out for me.

the packaging: since mine is the BT21 version, the box has BT21 picture at front, shade name on top and description at the back. the concealer comes in unusual shape. it comes in slim block shape which is weird since usually concealers come in cylindrical tube. again, there's a BT21 character at front (the original version only has spotless written at front) and shade name at the bottom. anyway, the bottle is quite short, and it has twisted cap connected to the wand to apply the concealer. the doe foot is small but it's perfect to spot conceal and pick up just the right amount of product. the size is ...
the shade: there are 9 shades to choose from, ranging from light, medium to deep and each category is differentiated to cool, neutral and warm tone. mine is C1 carbonara which is cool light one. well, i pick the one that match my skin tone because i don't intend to brighten my face. i want something for under eyes but not to brightening but i can use it as spot conceal as well, especially if i'm too lazy to do my base, then i'll just use concealer on problematic area and set it with powder. anyway, the shade is okay for me.

the product: the concealer is on the runny side. the last time i used concealer was the catrice one and it's pretty thick. compared to MUR one, this one is a bit thicker. for me, the consistency is just right, not too runny but not too thick.

the result: i think it has medium coverage. it can cover my dark under eyes as well as the redness on my face and around my acne. it definitely has more coverage than MUR one but not as thick as catrice that it's hard to blend. this one is easy to blend, either with finger or with brush. even though it's said that it contains skincare benefit, i don't use it regularly to see the effect, but i can agree that it doesn't dry out the skin around acne area. usually concealer will make it dry and when i set it with powder, it cracks after a few hour, but i don't experience that with this concealer.

| how it looks like on my hand |
i have to say i'm satisfied with this concealer. i'm relieved that the shade match me. even though that they're only 9 shades, i heard that they're considering to add more shades, so maybe if you can't find your match before, wait a little bit until they extend the shades. anyway, i'm worried about the shape since it's unusual. can i get all the product inside until it's empty? or will some left inside the tube and can't be scraped off? anyway, you can buy them from sociolla or their official market place. the price is slightly more expensive than other brands, but it's still reasonable. i'm not someone who use concealer on daily basis, so maybe i won't repurchase just because i don't use concealer much. i just bought this out of curiosity and i'm glad that it fits my expectation. if you're looking for concealer with decent coverage that's suitable for daily wear, i suggest you give this a try.
