When I was looking for concealer recommendations for dry skin, this was one those mentioned. It's the "spin off" of the original Shape Tape, which I believe is matte, while this one promises it has a "built in eye cream" and a moisturising matte finish. It also promises full coverage, a creamy formula that doesn't settle or cake, that's it's waterproof, crease-proof and stays on for 24 hour. I bought it along side with NYX's Bare with Me formula and they are nothing alike. While NYX works well on dry skin, this ends up too matte. I should probably have taken the Radiant version, but only this was available in the lightest shade where I was ordering. Knowing what I do now, I could have gone a shade darker, as 8B is the lightest concealer I've tried.
Formula: This is one of the thicker liquid concealers and it's similar to L'Oreal's Infallible More than Concealer. While the formula is creamy, it doesn't always blend well on my skin. I find it's best to combine it with a glowy, moisturising foundation that helps it blend seamlessly by adding moisture under it, while on matte foundations or bare skin, blending isn't smooth and can't even start to cake. It's not always like that, but it bothers me that it can happen at all because I don't know on which day I can pick this up and rely on it looking good.
Coverage and finish: This has close to full coverage. Layering can be problematic, if my skin isn't well moisturised, as it sets quickly. Over spots it looks cakey, just like every concealer matte concealer under the sun, but it stays on better than for example NYX Bare with Me. Finish is matte and this usually quickly becomes very flat looking, just like all matte high coverage concealers do on me. I'm honestly not sure if I'd even see a difference between Shape Tape original and this on my dry skin.
Staying power: It's still on at the end of the day, but faded. I wore NYX and this one on each day with a moisturising foundation under it (Oriflame Giordani Gold Age Defy) and while NYX one was almost gone, this one still covered enough and didn't become patchy. Both disappeared from the sides of my nose. I set both with Hourglass Ambient Lighting Finish Powder.
Shade: I picked the lightest shade because there's no useful comparison pictures online, so I went with the lightest because that's what I always do. It turns out 8B Porcelain Beige is actually too light for me, but I don't mind. It's one of the lightest shades I've tried so far. Undertone is neutral.
Packaging: The applicator is big and holds a lot of product. It's similar to the L'Oreal Infallible More than Concealer.
Price: It was 30 € - expensive considering L'Oreal's More than Concealer is very similar.
This didn't end up what I hoped. It's just another in a big selection of matte, high-coverage formulas that don't work well with my dry skin. While its staying power is impressive, it's too aging on me. But if you like matte, high coverage formulas and you're looking for a very light shade, this might be it.
