The Sensual Skin Enhancer

( 0.63oz )

My holy grail, great colour matches and very full coverage yet looks like skin.

This expensive concealer doesn't do anything except creasing so bad. Really disappointed.

I bought this last year an I’m only reviewing it now. Pros: A little goes a very long way. I have fair skin but very dark bags - tried everything on the market am found this does cover them but so do cheaper ones- I got the lightest shade - always best to go one step lighter - many may disagree with me but lighter, no residue or Cakey-ness = brighter. Cons: I found it doesn’t last all day - I work 8-4 and I only wear this box isn’t hygienic at all. I paid £40+ with delivery for £40 it should STAY ON LONGER, better container. I only think it works well for me because I chose lighter shade so my eyes look bright. I only use it under my eyes that’s why it lasts so long.

I love this concealer. It covers my dark circles away like a dream! A tiny bit goes a long way. For reference I have the shade SX11 and I'm usually an NC42-NC44 in Mac.

I have this product in the shade sx08. I highly recommend this product to use as a concealer.

This stuff just lasts forever. I seriously think the pot will dry up before I use it all--definitely a better deal than drugstore/high street makeup. I use it as concealer/highlighter. I have three shades and none of them look bad or unnatural. I just keep using this--I'm not really tempted to try any other highlighter. Never gets cakey

So I was recommended this by a friend. I was determined to try it as I'm bit of a make up fanatic...Bobbi Brown, Charlotte Tilbury to Mac - you name it i've tried it. Have to say I am pleased. It really is a small pot and you kind of think, is this really worth it.. But honestly I put two drops of oil from the body shop (oils of life) and use a beauty blender and it gives you a flawless, cakeless base. I probably should try using a brush with it but i can't imagine it working that well unless your concealing specific blemishes or using a small amount worked in with a cream to more of a tinted moisturiser consistency. I guess what makes this product so great for me is that you can literally make it as heavy or as light as you want. I really can't deal with most liquid foundations these days, it never looks natural. I feel like its either...cover my blemishes and look like I'm wearing make up or settle for less and not have my blemishes covered... I find the best thing about it is it's buildable, and not even in the same way that other foundations are..you can legit build up layer upon layer. Thank you Kevyn Aucoin for once in my life I actually found a colour match that works (SX08 - I'm mixed race with a yellow/olive skin tone) and the closest I could manage was Bobbi Brown before that in about warm natural. I've been colour matched with Mac - NC40 (I still think this isn't exactly my colour), Nars in stromboli, but I'd say SX08 is ever so slightly darker; just to give some colour references. I actually purchased mine online and prayed for the right match. I have to say this was after extensive research and browsing over colour swatches (not that helpful because of the different lightings). I would highly recommend going to a store and getting tested...maybe use an online shade matcher if you're really struggling. I'm now looking for a shade down and up now so I can conceal and bronze with the same product. I'm not a huge fan of cream products but this is worth it. Definitely one of the best I've tried so far. Give it a go if you're unsure I'd say. GL in finding your holy grail make up lovers. Forgot to mention try it for under eye bags...it's amazing...and this is coming from someone who's been hooked on mac prolonger concealer for the past 3 years.

I am using this as a foundation and this is the only foundation stay 6+ hours with my super oily skin. Covers dark circles and redness well; wish I find it earlier. Thanks a lot Cult Beauty.

Love love love this product. Makes my skin look perfect and glowing. I adore it. Now going to buy the whole Kevin Aucoin range!

This is quite possibly the only face makeup item I've ever bought that hasn't reacted badly with my skin in any way (trust me my skin hates E V E R Y T H I N G but this). The colour selection is amazing, you can build it up or thin it out. I loved it so much I bought two - the lighter one I use as a concealer with other foundations, the other I use as a foundation. Cannot stress my love for this product enough.

I love almost everything about this concealer, but I do understand other reviews that point out to get the most from it, you do have to be prepared to work with it in quite a specific way. Tip number 1 (that I cannot emphasise enough) is a little goes a loooonngg way! For me this is great because I honestly am not sure I will ever have to buy another one - which make what seems like a steep price tag actually an incredible bargain! You only need literally a pin sized amount on something like a small eyeliner brush to pin point conceal and then blend with a fingertip or brush. This is the best product I have found to cover spots or scarring in small areas, it is very high coverage. Tip number 2 however is that the creamy texture is not super under eye friendly (certainly in terms of not creasing throughout the day) so my advice would be to again apply with a small concealer or eyeliner brush at the outer edge of any dark circles only and blend up towards the lash line. This is as it is very high coverage anyway and you really want as thinner layer as possible if you want it to last all day. If you want to thin it and blend it really well, use the warmth from your fingertips. If you want to retain as much of the coverage as possible (such as when concealing blemishes) use a small, fluffy brush to dab and blend it at the edges. Hope that helps anyone!

This is an amazing product, but you really do need only a minute amount to do the job. I'm very pale (I.e. redhead-pale, but with brunette hair) and bought SX02, which is a good match for me. I blend it on my hand with a couple of other products to get the right colour and consistency for under-eye concealing, but also apply it 'neat' to some other areas of my face where I have redness. If I want to look very done, I use the Sensual Skin Fluid foundation first, but it also works well on its own on top of my sunscreen.

I felt that I had to try the product due to all the reviews online (though mixed). And my verdict, use it as a concealer, spot corrector, and if you know how to mix with a primer/moisturiser, like my favourite LEA Nature Laboratoire Lift Argan Golden Radiance Mask. It will do great as a light to full coverage depending on how you mix the product. But I don't ever see this on myself or a client alone for foundation, it's too thick. And yes, a little pin drop of product goes a long way. So, I gave it 3 stars because it's not out-of-the-box friendly, you really need to know how to work with it. Pro stuff.

I bought SX01 as im really pale and this is perfect for me. A little goes a long long way. Works well mixed with a little face oil if you dont like the thickness.

Firstly, I didn't know which colour would match my skin tone, but I was so interested in this sensual skin enhancer because of all of the good reviews it gets. I've been looking for natural, flawless foundation for a long time now. In order to find which colour would perfectly match my skin tone, I sent an email to Cult Beauty (customerservice@cultbeauty.co.uk), after asking me a load of questions they advised me to get the SX05. Just a little tiny bit of product can do much magic. I'm more than happy and thank you so much for your professional advice Cult Beauty.

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product I use it as a concealer for under the eyes and it works great, it's a little drying for me but with a moisturiser underneath it works great, it is most definitely full coverage an amazing product to hide dark circles and any blemishes on the face. Don't be put off by the price because a little will definitely go a VERY long way this little pot of product will last you a lifetime if using as a concealer but even if it's is being used as a foundation it will last you at least a year. BTW for reference I'm an nc30/nc35 in Mac and the SX08 is a perfect match for me, hope this helps!

This concealer definitely enhances my skin! It took me a while to learn how to apply it best for my skin type/tone but now that I have got the hang of it I could not be happier. A little goes a loooooong way, it's so pigmented and so thick - it covers every sin known to skin. Try it! Cult Beauty is also the cheapest place to get this baby, go get colour matched at space nk then but it here :) bargain!

One of the most amazing multi-purpose complexion products out there, I simply adore this product and not only a little goes a long way but it will last for quite a while. If you want to go full-coverage flawless this can also serve as a foundation.

This is really lovely, I had an operation and my face was full of dark purple bruises, this product passed the test and covered it all up. I also love the finish when you mix it with your daily moisturiser. Adore it, I will keep repurchasing it, if I ever run out of mine.
