I snitched mom’s Estée Lauder Lucidity today. LOVE it.

One of the things I hate about my current concealer is that it’s tacky to the touch, and doesn’t always work perfectly. In addition, I touch my eyes a lot, which is one of the reasons why I don’t wear stuff like mascara. When I touch my concealer, a bit always comes off on my fingers.
So, I figured I’d try the Lucidity. Mom’s is in Light, or possibly Light medium, which is perfect for my under-eye area. And I have to say, it is holy grail quality. Now, I haven’t tried any other loose powders (though I plan to, now!), but this was honestly amazing. It went on without changing the colour of my concealer, but somehow helped it to blend in a little better – it made my concealer look natural, like a second skin. Also, it has a sparkle to it – I’d normally hate that, but my concealer glitters anyhow, so you can’t really tell. I tried some on the back of my hand to check the sparkle factor, and it looked fantastic – they say it gives you a soft-focus look (as opposed to a disco-glitter one, lol!), and it really does.

I applied mine with a slanted brush, and it worked quite well – I didn’t want to use the pad, as I was just putting it under my eyes, and that would provide too much coverage.

I think mom’s is a sample, because her packaging looks nothing like the one in the photo. Or they may have repackaged recently, I’m not sure. But this is an excellent powder, though I don’t think I’d buy it again – the $30 price tag is a little high for me, but I’m not sure – it may be worth it!

I’ll see if I can try a few other loose finishing powders sometime, and I’ll try to remember to edit the post to let you know just how much better Lucidity is!
