One boring day, I was searching (and
researching) about concealers, foundations and what-have-you, when I stumbled
upon a blog reviewing a Japanese concealer/foundation. Apparently, this product
is famous among celebrities and is used by the likes of Jennelyn Mercado and
Rhian Ramos. If you're a certified beauty junkie or simply gaga over makeup
(just like me!), maybe you've already guessed what it is...yes it’s the
Naturactor Cover Face by Meiko Cosmetics!
After reading a couple (or more) reviews
about it, I was more than convinced that it is indeed a product worth trying. I
know that there are already a dozen of reviews out there, but here is my review
on this product. Btw, this is SFE’s 1st review evuhh, so don’t be mean okay? Happy reading!
According to my research, Naturactor Cover
Face has 5 shades. Actually it is more
of a concealer but it can also be used as a foundation. And since I'm planning
to use it as a foundation, the next question is what shade to pick?
I was really torn between shades 141 and 151.
Shade 141 seems too light for me so I'm guessing 151 but just to make
sure (plus I don't want to waste money
hehe), I asked the online shop where I intend to buy my Naturactor. By the
way I purchased mine at Naturactor Online Shop on Facebook They also have an
Instagram account or you can simply text or Vibe them for your questions or
orders.
Anyway, they were very accommodating to my
inquiries and they asked me what foundation/shade I am using, so I sent them a
picture of my CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation in 842 (Medium Beige).
They instantaneously confirmed that 151 indeed will suit me. So 151 it is! They
charge Php550.00 inclusive of shipping fee for all their Naturactor products. Transaction
with Naturactor Online Shop was suuuppperrr
fast and hassle-free; I placed my order and paid them on a Monday and I got
the item by Wednesday! Two thumbs up for the great service!
Here is the product. It’s all in Japanese so I don't understand whatever is written in the box hehe. I just wish it has an English translation.
The packaging is simple and compact. I’m
guessing it’s about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 inch in height.
Comparing the (1) Naturactor Cover Face in 151
and (2) CoverGirl foundation in 842.

The product is lightweight but is good for
medium to full/ heavy coverage. For major blemishes, you will have to layer
more of it, it’s easily buildable though. Here are the swatches in 1, 2 and 3 layers.
When applying the product, I tried using a
foundation brush and a sponge but the best way to even it out is using my
fingers. So gals, make sure that your hands are clean before applying the
product *wink*wink*
By the way, it has a very faint scent;
reminds me of Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder or lotion. Not too strong
though, but you might want to take note on that. Of course before using the product, I did first my usual cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine.
Here is a picture of me using only the
Naturactor Cover Face and MAC lippie in Mocha.

| Hi Ma!!! #nokilayday #nofilter |
The product gives a smooth matte finish and
lasted for about 6 hours without touching up.
It gave my skin a natural and
flawless finish, that makinis but not
cake-y look. Overall, I am impressed with this product! I'm thinking about buying the remaining shades of Naturactor Cover Face for concealer purposes :) This is will definitely be a mainstay in my
kikay kit from now on.
Have you tried the Naturactor Cover Face?
