My Experience with Charlotte Tilbury The Retoucher 3 Medium Conceal and Treat Concealer Stick:

Let me start by saying that it is one of the best concealing pens I have used till date. This is available in 10 shades. I have the shade #3 Medium. It comes packed in this gorgeous golden pen with a brush tip applicator. I have never been the biggest fan of brush tip applicators, mostly for the hygiene purpose, but the formula of this concealer is INSANE. I just cannot stop using it. There is a twist button at the bottom of the pen. Sometimes it dispenses more than the required product and that leads to the waste, but other than that it is an absolute fine product.

This retouching pen is great for:

1. Just applying on the circle of the eyes to give that extra lift to the under-eye area and bounce back the light.

2. For people who don’t have heavy under-eye circles and just need a little something to add freshness to the under eye area.

3. For those who don’t like heavy concealer but don’t mind a little bit of skin showing through.
4. Women who have wrinkles underneath the eyes because the texture is so light that it just spreads without looking cakey or heavy.

I personally use it for everyday light makeup use, as a second step to my concealing process just to add that extra brightness to my under eye area, and to conceal the spots here an there and definitely around my nose area because it just does not cake up but still does the job.

* Never irritated my eyes
* It’s not the most long staying product, but once you set it with powder, I’d say it lasts for good 5+ hours.
* This is a light to medium pigmented concealer. Also can be built up without looking heavy, but don’t expect it to give a full-on coverage on the skin. If I compare it to the legendary YSL Touche Eclat Pen, it has a bit more opaque coverage and that’s what made me fell in love with it the most.
*It does not feel or look heavy.

* It has a light lovely luminosity that gives a nice lift to the under eye area.
* A little goes a long way.
* The pen applicator leads to the wastage of product, so twist quite carefully every time you use it. Also, clean the brush end with a brush cleanser at least once a week if you use it daily.
* Does not cover every bit, but as the name says, it is a retoucher. You can carry it with you, freshen up your day makeup to evening with just a few strokes and still look all fresh and natural. Great for those who are a fan of “no makeup makeup” looks.
* Never felt dry underneath the eyes, but I always and always use an under-eye cream before applying any concealer.
* No fragrance.
*It is paraben free.
* Not available in India.

Overall, among all the illuminating pen concealers I have used, this has got to be my favourite. It is light, creamy and absolutely great for ‘retouching’ here and there on the face. I would always and always repurchase this. I was really not “enthu “about it when I purchased this, and now I cannot stop using it. The whole feel of the product is just great. If used the right way, this could become an absolute go-to product.
