Jouer Age-Repairing Skin Perfector Review

I like Jouer's products because they're understated yet elegant, subtle yet classy, and non-pretentious but of high quality. I have a few of its products in my collection and I love them to bits. The lipgloss is amazing, powder blushes are finely milled and not splotchy, and now, I've tried another product from Jouer that I am happy to review.

This is an innovative product from Jouer that not only evens out complexion (thus acting like your regular concealer), it also claims to help repair signs of aging: the Age-Repairing Skin Perfector. Below are some of the company's claims about the product:

With a smooth beautiful finish, this mineral age-reparing perfector enhances and evens out complexion while fighting and repairing signs of aging and stress. The luxurious formulation of Dermaxyl® Complex and the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory powers of Vitamin E, Arnica Oil, and Japanese Tea Extract revive skin’s firmness and tone. Conceals the appearance of redness and other blemishes without the sensation of feeling heavy. Perfect for all skin types.

Jouer's Tip: With fingertips or a sponge applicator, apply all over or where needed as a light foundation base to even out skin tone. Layer for additional coverage.

(See my review and a look using the product after the jump)



My Take: I agree with the description that it conceals and evens out skintone without feeling heavy. The consistency is not concealer-like at all. In fact, it's like a very light, sheer liquid foundation in a rectangular compact. I was surprised that it's unlike a concealer texture-wise. It is easy to apply upon application, but the product itself is hard, not soft, and when you swipe your finger across it, you will get sheer, liquidy product that glides like a dream on the undereye area or over areas where you need to even out the skintone. And unlike regular concealers, the feeling is indeed very light on the skin. I can also see a little light-refracting properties on this as it lightly blurs imperfections.

I used the No.4 shade in Natural, which is described for "light to medium complexions with neutral undertones". I don't have neutral undertones, so I guess No. 3 should have been my shade, but surprisingly, No. 4 worked. I loved how it looks dark in the compact but adjusts to my skintone.

I cannot vouch for its skincare claims as I have not used this product long enough to make a conclusion on this. Suffice it to say that I really like how light it feels and how it evens out skintone and conceals small blemishes and lightens up the under-eye area.


I used 3 Jouer products in this look: the Luminizing Moisture Tint in Golden, the Age-Repairing Skin Perfector in Natural, and the Essential Matte Touch mattifier (review coming up!).

All in all, I really like this product. I use this everyday and I love the lightness and yet enjoying the concealing properties.

Simple Neutrals Using MAC Notoriety Eyeshadow Quad

Here is a very simple neutral look from the Notoriety quad from the Makeup Art Cosmetics: Richard Phillips collection. If you don't have shimmery neutrals yet, and you want a no-brainer eyeshadow palette to take with you on quick weekend getaways, this quad is for you. The colors are soft and perfect for day, but can be enhanced to become more dramatic at nighttime. It's not the most unique quad in my stash, and I like my Photo Realism quad better than Notoriety, but it's not bad at all and if you like shimmery neutrals, you'll find something you'll like in this palette.


I again used Aromaleigh's dupe of NARS Orgasm blush, Verve.


I used my lipstick called Madly Creative from the Colour Craft collection.

Here's a step-by-step. All products MAC unless otherwise stated.


Apply Bare Canvas paint all over lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Cash Flow paint pot on the lid. Using the 239 brush, apply Skintone 2 on lid in quick patting motions. Using the 224 brush, apply Rich and Earthy on the crease.


Apply a tiny bit of Notoriety with the Sonia Kashuk blender brush and blend with the 224.


Using the same Sonia Kashuk brush, intensify Notoriety on the outer V.

Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint: A Review

From the Jouer website:

This lightweight moisturizing tint evens out imperfections and fades the appearance of fine lines with its light-diffusing multi-mineral formula. SPF 20 protects from UVA and UVB rays while Ginseng and Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract deliver antioxidants to skin, promoting a healthy complexion.

Oil-free. Hypoallergenic. Fragrance-free. Water Resistant. Perfect for all skin types.

Jouer's Tip: Apply to clean skin to even out skin tone. Layer for additional coverage.

My Take: I was given a sample of this product to try. It's basically a tinted moisturizer that many beauty brands carry, except that this I believe has a thicker consistency, which I preferred because I was thinking that this would have better coverage. I applied it using Coastal Scents' kabuki-on-a-stick brush (review coming up soon), and it melted on my face evenly, blending smoothly into the skin. I waited for a couple of minutes to let the product sink into the skin, then I applied a very thin layer of mineral foundation to set it, followed by a light dusting of finishing powder. The result: very smooth finish, good coverage. I like the SPF 20 this product provides, so it's a moisturizer, sunscreen and foundation in one. The product claims that it evens out imperfections and blurs flaws because of its light-diffusing properties, and I did see that the finish was even and smooth.



Upside: Good consistency (neither too thick nor too watery), smooth, clean finish, gives a radiance to the skin, decent SPF (20), 3-in-1 product (moisturizer, sunscreen, makeup), oil-free, contains Ginseng and Gingko Biloba leaf extract (anti-oxidants), did not break me out.

Downside: May be a bit expensive ($38 for 1.7 fl. oz), may need to layer for additional coverage. Also, I'd have preferred using a shade darker as the shade I used (Pearl) was a tad too light.

All in all, though, I would buy this albeit in a darker shade. I love how it evened out my skintone, and how smooth the finish was. I would layer mineral foundation on top of this product, however, as I still prefer the coverage and especially the staying power of mineral makeup. I also like the SPF20 factor as I am definitely not a sun worshipper. I think the best feature of this product is the antioxidants like Ginseng and Gingko Biloba leaf extract that are found in this moisturizing tint. I love products that give coverage and yet pamper your skin at the same time. You also need to use just a small amount, so a little goes a long way. If you are looking a for a 3-in-a product to cut short your cosmetic application time especially during manic mornings, this might be a good product for you.
