Therapium VELOURIS™ Correcting Concealer — 05 Light Cool

The lightest of the seven shades, with a cool cast — for fair skin that reads pink rather than golden.

Organic aloe leaf juice is the first ingredient, ahead of any oil, with organic shea butter, rice bran oil and plant waxes giving it body. Sodium PCA, sodium hyaluronate and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid keep the finish from going dry and powdery. Colour comes from mineral pigments — titanium dioxide and iron oxides — at a high enough load that a thin layer covers, so you do not have to pile it on.

Is this your shade?

05 is where the range starts. Cool means a pink cast rather than a golden one — the quickest check is jewellery: if silver flatters you more than gold, you are probably cool.

• Under the eye — this is the shade if your foundation is 05 Fair Neutral or 10 Light Warm. One step lighter than your foundation is the usual choice under the eye; more than one step is where the grey, ashy look comes from.
• On blemishes and redness — match your foundation depth instead, so 05 covers on fair skin only. The job there is to disappear, not to brighten.
• If it looks too light — go up to 10 Light Warm if your skin is golden, or 15 Medium Cool if it is pink but deeper than fair.

How to use

1. Apply in small dots where you want coverage.
2. Tap out with a fingertip or a small brush, working outwards.
3. Build a second thin layer if you need more, rather than one thick one.
4. Blends over foundation, or use it on bare skin on its own.
