UNFILTERED - Complexion Pen

Bought my first pen during one of their pop-ups and have been using it almost daily till it ran out. Greta for everyday makeup when you don't want a heavier foundation on your face. Plus so easy to carry around, especially when I plan to do my makeup after work.

The dispensing action takes some time to get used to the wait, but after a few rounds of uses the foundation is dispensed almost immediately when clicked. My current fav!

i have oily & dehydrated skin. the concealer is perfect for me as it stays matte but never patchy throughout the day when my skin gets oily. the packaging is convenient to apply and carry around (with no mess). it's full coverage and i applied this ontop of my tinted sunscreen. definitely will repurchase again once i run out ❤️❤️❤️

Waited for around two weeks. Emailed in to inquire and the products were finally sent out for shipping the next day with no reply or apology. Was looking forward to this product but I am unable to dispense it despite clicking the button many times. Only managed to get small traces of product. Can't even remove the top brush as an alternative method. How to review the product if I can't even use it?

Its a really good product. Smooth, easy to blend, buildable. Really comparable to known big beauty brands with the benefit of supporting local! Also the shade finder/matcher was pretty cool and accurate!

I received the complexion pen last week, as I was enamoured with the idea of doing my base routine in one step. It took longer than expected to arrive. When I inquired about this, their team was very kind and responded promptly to my request. So, thanks to them for that! <3 Now onto the product review. As this title indicates, this is a review from someone who is still very much a makeup noob, so keep that in mind.

Upon first impressions, this product looked slightly wider online than it does in real life. I suppose the name "complexion pen" is quite apt, because while online it looks more like a marker, it does have the sleekness of a pen in real life. This is not a pro or a con to me personally. I suppose if it were thicker, it may be able to hold more product.

This product is advertised as easy to use - and from the perspective of simplifying a base routine to one step, maybe it is. However, it is extremely hard to remove the cap on the pen every time I use this. Moreover, it is very very hard to squeeze out product - and it took quite some time for me before I was able to figure out how it works. Because of that, I ended up squeezing out too much and some of it ended up being wasted and smearing inside the cap. I also recommend blending this out with a brush or a beauty blender rather than fingers as you can end up with smears on the packaging. This isn't the biggest problem, like the pen can be cleaned, but I love the packaging so much!

Once on the skin, the product itself is fine. I like the coverage and the glow it gives the skin. When using the right amount (I did not the first few times), it feels weightless on your face. The shade I got (C18) is a tad too light for me, which I got after shade matching on the website. However, when I blend it out it doesn't look too bad. It does accentuate my texture on some parts of my face, which I don't love.

In conclusion, I will continue to use this product - but not by itself. I will probably use the other foundations I have, and then use this as a concealer. As apparent, I am a beginner, so perhaps I should have tried some other products first.
