Hi there! Sleepy, camera-less girl reporting. Nothing too exciting today. My camera is driving me nuts, especially since right now I can't even find the battery charger so I can feed the damn thing. This means that I can't even play with it, let alone try to upload things to my computer (which it wasn't doing anyway, so really, how much of a loss is it?). So... you're in for a rant!

In my latest attempt to find a concealer pale and pinky-toned enough for my face (without having TOO MUCH colour to it), I've turned to Estee Lauder. Smoothing cream concealer is the product at large, in the palest shade (duh). Now, let me say first of all that the consistency is lovely, being a fluid cream that I can blend easily. It's decently pigmented (can someone tell me what the point is of super sheer concealer!?) and has respectable lasting power. It has a satiny finish and it doesn't tend to settle into lines under my eyes. It's actually very nice as under eye concealer.
The problem? It gets darker on me. I seem to have this problem with a lot of concealers (AS IF I FRIGGING NEED THAT). Does anyone else!? So, sure, this covers up my zits ok and it's not terribly too dark/not pink enough, but... I end up with these dark blotches on my face. UGH. THANKS "CONCEALER". It seems most concealers do this to me, though, not to mention a bunch of them look dry and cakey because I'm not terribly oily.

Here's my question: do concealers do this on other people? Or is it just my mutant body chemistry in action again? And when you set with powder, do concealers tend to turn dark orange on you? (Some of them react instantly to powder on me... wow!)
