I know….I know SALMON? YES SALMON. Bear with me….a few weeks back, I was in NYC for some meetings and I popped over to see my beauty sister Felicia of This That Beauty. She is doing some consulting for the fabulous Emmy Award winning makeup artist Eve Pearl. If you don’t know about Eve….peep the resume, she is currently working on the Today Show as Meredith Viera’s personal makeup artist. ANYWAY…..I had the pleasure of meeting Eve and having her “beat my face” (YES, I sat in the makeup chair) as she worked her magic, she explained how her products were like, “skincare with color” a concept I loved. As she worked…I was curious as she was using darker colors than I was accustomed to. I was convinced that it was going to look too dark (you know how picky I am LOL) but I kept my mouth shut and let her work. Boy was i surprised…..
I instantly fell in LOVE with several products, one of which is the Salmon Concealer & Treatment. While she was talking she brushed on what felt light as air (you know how I feel about things feeling heavy or cakey!) and after she did ONE eye I looked in the mirror and was FLOORED. There was a distinct difference in the under eye area one side looked refreshed and the other looked pretty sad in comparison. Eve chose a color for me that I normally would not have chosen (it looked dark to me, so I was giving her the side eye….LOL) but she says the concealer should be closer to your skin color to avoid that raccoon look. Now onto the SALMON part…..there isn’t really any salmon in there (not the fish kind anyway….LOL). It refers to the use of the “Salmon” or pinky/peach color as an under eye concealer to neutralize the dark blue undertones from the skin. (Yellows mixed with the blue undertones create those greenish/grey raccoon eyes that are highlighted and only accentuate the problem area.) All of Eve’s products contain what is called Cosmenutrients: Cosmetics infused with nutrients. Combining the unique blends of vitamins, minerals, proteins, peptides and anti-oxidants into multi-functional cosmetic formulations. A light, non-greasy yet smooth application, allowing skin to breathe (I could actually FEEL my skin which is unusual for a HD makeup line or any makeup line in general). The nutrients nourish, help protect, restore and renew the skin’s texture and elasticity. It also reduces the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles.

The line is mid priced BUT she has these great kits where you can get everything you need in one fell swoop. The Salmon Concealer comes in three packaging varieties….Four shades (light, medium, tan and dark) available in a small jar and a compact, then she has three shades of duo-concealer for those that don’t fall into the our shade categories. This is my new fave people…..I was SHOCKED that I could get such opaque coverage with such a light feeling product.
