EVE PEARL: Salmon concealer and Powderless Powder

First of, let me share a little secret with you and say that I got inspired to start this blog from Eve Pearl's class on becoming a makeup artist.
I watched it here:

Basically, the main idea is "stop overanalyzing and just DO IT".  There is no place for fear or weird thoughts if you are busy doing stuff. So simple and yet very inspiring. I personally decided for myself that I start this blog to motivate myself - build my kit and portfolio and share my experience with you, guys.

Eve Pearl is quite a pricy brand, but good news - they offer ProMembership for free. I applied for that, received my 30% Pro discount and made my first purchase.
I had to get the famous salmon concealer.  I also got intrigued by her Powderless Powder.

Dual Salmon Concealer.


I got mine in Fair\Light. I personally think this is more of a corrector, than a concealer, because I do need to cover it with a concealer of my skin color on top. It worked great hiding my dark under-eye area which just a concealer is not capable of doing. Usually I would get heavy-handed in my attempt to hide the darkness layering tons of concealer which always leads to a bad flaky result.
Salmon concealer is a jelly kind of formula which is great for dry skin. A little goes a long way, you don't need that much product + helps me use less concealer as well. So, it's a WIN-WIN situation.

It sounds like all makeup dreams come true. I was very intrigued, because that would mean I could use just this one product on everyone regardless of sex, religion - just kidding - regardless of skin type an skin color. So far I don't get how to apply it. It is really powderless, it has a very thick waxy formula. Eve used duo fiber brush swirling around over the product, but I can't do that because it is not sanitary. I don't think I can just spray it over with alcohol and wipe as I would do with powder products. I still have to play with it more and make it work. If you have any ideas let me know in the comments.
Anyways, I tried it on myself before and after foundation. I liked it a lot before foundation as a base, my skin was silky smooth to the touch. It didn't make me feel more dry. After foundation it does mattify, but I can't really tell if it has a long lasting effect because my skin is dry and even if it wasn't long lasting it would stay on me for a long time. I got to try it on somebody with oily skin to see the result.
