OMG, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Stroke of Beauty's Skin Finish concealer!!

glamazon — Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:58:23 GMT

Has anyone else tried it yet?? I am super excited!! Finally a concealer that does NOT make my fine lines stand out. I have tried so many and have been dissapointed. I am SO glad to have tried Stroke of Beauty's concealer. It really doesn't look as though I have cakey make up covering my dark circles--it just looks like my skin. I LOVE IT!!!!! Holly Mordini you are a beautiful genius! I cannot wait to see what else your new line has in store. Thank you QVC, Stroke of Beauty and Holly Mordini!

What color did you ladies get? I wanted to order, but wasn't sure to go with light or medium. My skin tone is basically light/medium. Holly said she wears the medium, and I would say my skin tone is similar but I definitely want something that lightens the under eye area and isn't too dark.

Welcome to the boards....

I am currently loving my UD Naked Skin concealer but nothing seems to beat the Maybelline Age rewind and it's only a few dollars and available right from the drugstore. However, I do wish Holly well and am curious about the reviews on this product.

I can't remember if I already asked this but does anyone know if her line is cruelty free?? TIA!

I have been using the Maybelline too and love it! I set it with my Anastasia yellow powder and it looks great. I have the brightening one but missed it

Kahootz, I ordered it in "Medium" which was described as a "True Light/Medium." Usually I'm a "Light" but in this concealer "Medium" looked like it would work best on my light skin, I hope so! Sadly, it didn't come in the mail today like it was supposed to - totally disappointed!

I am always suspicious of such high praise from a brand new poster. But I hope Holly's line does well, I'll wait for more items before trying it out, I'm happy with my current concealer.

Typically indicates some affiliation.... I am curious about the reviews from the regulars ( I would imagine the OP is too!).

Hi Depglass - I admit I had the same thought.

Lump in my suspicions as well. I do hope Holly's line proves to be awesome. I didn't order because I was unsure between light and medium (really think the light seems like "fair").

Have a feeling shills post not realizing we can all see it's their only post. While everyone has a very first post, when it is either all high praise for a new product, or just the opposite, my hackles get raised, lol!

Add me in with the suspicious folks! I'm looking forward to hearing some reviews from the "old-timers." Did anyone order it? I loved smashbox and love Holly, but I didn't order the concealer. 1) I don't need it and 2) I didn't want to have to pay to return it if I caved and didn't like it.

The other day I mailed a CD in a paper sleeve in a small padded envelope and it cost 2 dollars. I remember when it was a dollar to mail that same thing. But that is a different complaint for a different day.

Good question, HappyDaze! I didn't find any mention of it on her website, but perhaps the website is still evolving. Pls. report back if you happen to find out. Thanks so much!

I just recived mine yesterday (went with Light; I am fair skinned). The texture is really smooth. The color, at first looked too light, but then it blended into my skin. Not yellow at all (I am pink undertoned). It gives a really nice glow. It's not chalky or dry. And yet it's not greasy/oily. The brush is nice too (doesn't feel cheap). I applied it to the eye area exactly the way Holly demonstrated. So far I've had it on for 5 hours and it's still covering my dark under eye circles. And it does not seem to be accentuating my lines. So far, I like it.

I read on Stroke of Beauty's Facebook page that more products are coming (in early 2016).

Hi All! I received mine the other day but I wanted to give it a few days before I weighed in. I usually post reviews under the product reviews not the forums, but what the heck. So I, like a few of you, usually wear "light" foundations and concealers, except for IT bye bye undereye which I wear medium. I could tell by Holly's swatches her light was going to be too light so I ordered Medium. Spot on. Glad I did. it covers redness without being orange. It is a neutral tone and it doesn't exagreate pores, so I can put it right next to my nose without concern. My one criticism, however, is the brush. It is really stiff and very dense. The first time I dipped it into the product, it made a huge divot in the pan. I have been using the concealer with my ultra concealer brush which has flat synthetic bristles and that gives a much better application. I will use the brush included with powders.

I went ahead and ordered in Medium. I figured since the brush was included, I would give it a try. I'm just not happy with the concealers I've been using - even the expensive Cle de Peau one I have.

I ordered Medium which is perfect. my skin tone is light/medium as well. The medium in this line was the perfect match.

Normally I would give the side eye, but after the forum revamp I will give the benefit of the doubt.

I will wait and see the reviews and decide then.

JoElla, I'm with you on this. So far, there are only a few reviews and there should be more by now.
