About Sarah Real Face Flex Correct
“I always tell my team: When you formulate a product for 20-somethings, you’re basically formulating a product for rubber mats,” Creal said. “This skin is elastic, smooth and even; it can bear the weight of powders, waxes and solids.” Aging skin? That’s a different story. Creal likens the texture of mature skin to tissue paper, noting that products made with such heavy ingredients only accentuate unevenness and texture issues.
As a result, Creal designed the color corrector to have a light-as-air feel, which she describes as a “second-skin feel.” Available in five colors, from light pink peach to rich terracotta peach, this creamy product has film-forming capabilities that help it bend without creasing. It provides medium coverage with highly targeted focus. The formula is designed to brighten and neutralize discoloration under the eyes, and has less stretch than Creal’s Face Flex Concealer and Complexion Improver. It also has a quick drying time of 30 seconds. “That way you’re not smearing it all over your face and can get to step two quickly,” says Creel, who prefers a streamlined routine.
How to properly use Sarah Real Face Flex
Before applying, prep your eye cream, like Firm Offer with Caffeine. Let the skincare product sit for about five minutes, then prepare to apply CC Cream to the inner corner of each eye. “This is what I call the little kidney area,” Krell said, referring to the C-shaped space between the eyes and nose.
After placing one color corrector dot in the middle of the space and another dot directly above it, she picks up the skin tone brush. “Place the graduated side of the brush on the inside of each kidney area and twist sharply so the shorter side touches your skin,” instructs Krell. Please remember to keep these dive Contains: “Stick to the inner corners, where there’s darkness,” says Krell, demonstrating by brushing her color corrector over small areas. “Otherwise, everything around your eyes will light up and look like a raccoon.”
Color correction is followed by concealer, which Creal blends in with a dual contour brush. Because the color corrector is already in place under her eyes, she says, “You need less concealer here than usual. But make sure you apply enough concealer around the nose—an area where women over 40 are prone to discoloration.” She dabbed a little concealer on her eyelids to even out her skin tone, then shared her final steps. “If you’re doing nothing else, just use a little bronzer or blush,” she says, noting that her favorite color is Just Like Paradise Creamy Bronzer. “Add a little eyebrow, a little lip, whatever you like, and you’re done!”
My experience with Sarah Real Face Flex Correct
As I modeled Creal’s CC cream application process on Zoom, I asked her if she should apply some eye cream or moisturizer throughout the day. (After all, I’m 45 and prone to dryness and fine lines under my eyes, especially in the winter.) “Absolutely not,” she says. “Do all your skin prep beforehand.” Determined to try the Creal way, I used a color corrector, concealer, and the rest of Creal’s recommended steps, and that was it. leave it. (No moisturizer at noon!) By 5 p.m., my skin still looked even and bright, with no sign of clumping. It also feels hydrating to the touch, probably due to the skin-care-grade ingredients in the color corrector and concealer.
