SANTE NATURKOSMETIK Cover stick No. 03

I think I was the perfect candidate to try SANTE NATURKOSMETIK Coverstick because of my inherited dark under eye circles and because I’m in the process of converting  my chemically derived, name-brand cosmetics, to ones made with natural ingredients.

SANTE Coverstick is designed to cover up dark under eye circles and blemishes.  It looks like a thick eyeliner or crayon.  It can be sharpened with an eyeliner sharpener, as long as it’s a large one.

When I first applied the cover up under my eyes I thought the pointed tip was a little rough for this most sensitive part of the eye where you want to avoid pulling or stretching.  However, I discovered that if you round off the point a little it becomes softer after the initial application.  I also detected a slight waxy, crayon type of smell.

The coverage was good.  It covered up darkness and definitely made small blemishes and red spots disappear!  It does tend to “cake up” just slightly in the crease of the upper lid if not blended in well.

Despite what may seem like a “not so great” review, I found that with a little creativity, this product is worth converting to.  Since it is made with purely natural ingredients such as botanical oils and extracts, I find that it is worth a tiny bit of effort.  I simply rub a small amount on my hand and blend with a concealer brush.  I like to mix it with a small amount of eye cream. I blend them together and apply to the under eye area as well as anywhere else it may be needed.  It covers dark circles, redness and blemishes quite well.  The stick is moisturizing and doesn’t necessarily need added cream; I just prefer applying it that way under the eyes.

Overall I would use this product rather than my favorite old brand.  I generally feel better knowing that I’m not putting chemicals into my body via my skin!  SANTE Certified!
