THE VERDICT:

While everyone's going ga-ga over Pixi's Glow Tonic, I'm head over heels with their Pat Away Concealing Base. I just got this on a whim, but little did I know that I was about to make a groundbreaking discovery. Why isn't anyone raving about this concealer?? Or maybe there are, but I'm just late in the game? Whatever! This stuff is amazing and it's a close dupe of the famous Tarte Shape Tape!

Pat Away Concealing Base, according to Pixi, is their perfect concealer creation. It is a cream concealer with a rich, buildable texture while promising a natural, skin- like finish. It promises to be long- wearing and infused with antioxidants to help nourish the under eyes. Locally, Glamourbox, the official distributor of Pixi, carries 3 shades.

Here's the wand; Pixi said that they patterned it after the finger for an even application and to help with blending. I like how this big wand covers my entire under eye in one go, plus the extra flocked material delivers a controlled amount of the product.

L-R: Tarte Shape Tape and Pixi Pat Away Concealing Base

I've noticed that the look of the tube, the applicator, and also the finish is reminiscent of Shape Tape; here's a comparison. Both seem to have a rich, creamy consistency. Pigmentation is almost the same; the only difference is Shape Tape has about 10% more pigmentation to it, but truth be told, that doesn't make Pixi's concealer anything less!

Let's try out the concealer:

Bare under eye

With one layer of Pixi Pat Away Concealing Base

Warm is the darkest shade carried by Pixi Philippines; it's the most ideal shade for morenas like me. However, if your skin tone is deep, you won't find a shade that suits locally, but abroad, you will.

This concealer is very easy to blend, spread, and even out; check out the coverage and finish! It completely covered my dark under eye circle, but it doesn't look cakey at all! I also love the light smoothing effect it gives.

For comparison, here's a photo of me using Tarte Shape Tape:

See? Almost no difference with Pixi's finish, right???

Staying power of Pixi's concealer is GREAT; no caking, fading, and creasing during wear. I also love the moisturizing effect it gives because it gives my under eyes a soft, fresh look the whole day.

This stuff is amazeballs and I'm so glad I picked it up! If you want to experience the effect of Tarte Shape Tape without shelling out the money for it, get Pixi Pat Away Concealing Base!
