Heavy swatch of the colour - this is on the inside of my wrist, which is a bit paler than my face. My foundation matches are MAC NC20 (although that's a bit too yellow), Bobbi Brown Warm Ivory, Chantecaille Ivory, Suqqu 10, Becca Praline and ERA Y3. RMS 11 is a pretty spot on match for me; it's what I've been wearing in most of my recent pictures.
Blended out; it's still not a perfect match for the inside of my wrist, but you can see from this picture that the un cover-up really does mimic the natural texture of the skin.
What I like about this: it does look very natural. It isn't too dry or too creamy; I don't have to set it with powder and it doesn't settle into fine lines around my eyes. I also feel comfortable wearing it to cover redness on my chin without worrying it's going to clog my pores.
Things you should know: it isn't the most heavy duty of concealers. It knocks back my very dark circles to an acceptable level for me, but it doesn't obliterate them in the way that Becca or Bobbi Brown concealers do. The colour selection is also quite limited: there are only 3 colours available currently, and very pale and moderately dark (and darker) skins are not catered for yet. I also found the online swatches to be a bit on the light side; I was dithering between 11 and 22, from the online pictures.
RMS Beauty is available at www.beingcontent.com, and the un cover-up costs £26 for 5.67g. That's not inexpensive, but I love the ingredients, ethos and finishes of all the products in this line, and I reach for this and the other items I own from this line (see my post on those here) a lot.

I love RMS - this is next on my to try list. I use the cream blusher and and illuminator every day. Love them! My only worry is that it's not heavy duty enough for me as I quite like the obliterate approach on my bags!
ReplyDeleteHello--you have a lovely blog! I stumbled upon your blog a few months ago and noticed that you use some RMS Beauty and W3LL People products. From a more recent post, I noticed that you were using the W3ll People Narcissist Foundation/Concealer (and you had previously used the RMS Beauty Un Cover-Up). Could you please say talk about any similarities/dissimilarities in the two products (and which you prefer after trying them both)? Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan - that's a great idea for a post - I'll try to get one up on that this week.
DeleteHi, Grace. Wow, that would be great--thanks so much (of course, I would understand if you can't get to it)! After reading up extensively on the two products, I believe you are the only blogger that has tried both. So if you did write a comparison post about it (including your own personal recommendation of the two), I think you would be the first!
DeleteHi Susan - I'm working on the post right now - it'll be up tomorrow :)
