Ingredients from packaging: PARAFFINUM LIQUIDUM (MINERAL OIL), OZOKERITE, LANOLIN, PETROLATUM, TALC, KAOLIN, SILICA, TOCOPHEROL, PROPYLPARABEN, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, (+/- [MAY CONTAIN]: CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE), CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77007 (ULTRAMARINES), CI 77288 (CHROMIUM OXIDE GREENS))
Directions from packaging: Application Technique: To conceal large areas use the Flat Concealer Brush. Smooth concealer over entire eyelid, inside the bridge of the nose and under the eye to correct darkness. Don't forget to apply concealer to the inner bridge of the nose near the eye; we all have darkness there due to the blood vessels. Also conceal under the nose where redness occurs. To conceal smaller areas or to cover a blemish, use the Point Concealer Brush. Placing too much product on a blemish will make it stand out more. The Point Concealer brush allows exact placement of concealer on the blemish not around the blemish. Application Tip: Francois recommends using concealer all over the eyelid set with a generous amount of loose powder as a shadow base. Even under hot studio lights, in 20 years, he's never had a crease.
