Celeteque DermoCosmetics (Product Swatch + First Impression)



A few weeks back, I was invited to the launch of the Celeteque DermoCosmetics at SM Makati. And as promised, I've come up with a first impression post of the products in the entire line. You'll see here the each and every product but only one shade for each. In a nutshell, Céleteque DermoCosmetics offers a full skincare regimen for the face, lips, cheeks, and eyes that protect the skin 24/7. It is definitely the best makeup line for everyday use. Céleteque DermoCosmetics is perfect for the modern-day woman, as it offers the best of both worlds: expert skincare solutions and superior color cosmetics that highlight one’s natural beauty.

Celeteque DermoCosmetics (Swatches + First Impression)

The Céleteque DermoCosmetics Anti-Aging line has all the bases covered to give you a youthful look. It has the Dual CC Matte Powder, the Dark Spot Concealer Stick, and the 24-hr Photoready Foundation that promise to keep your skin young-looking.

Celeteque DermoCosmetics (Swatches + First Impression) Dual CC Matte Powder

The Céleteque DermoCosmetics Dual CC Matte Powder (P749.00) keeps oily skin at bay with its 12-hour matte finish. Cinical studies have shown a significant decrease in skin oiliness from the first and second week of product usage, and it has also been proven to reduce fine lines to up to 42.87% when used for four weeks. It also contains Glutathione, Arbutin, and Mulberry, all of which inhibit melanin production and lighten skin color with regular use.  The Dual CC Matte Powder is also packed with collagen peptide, which maintains skin firmness and improves elasticity through increased collagen formation, as well as Tocopheryl Acetate, which promotes skin hydration. This multi-tasking product is also packed with color correcting pigments that even out skin tone, as well as SPF 30 to protect the skin from the sun’s harsh UVA rays, considered one of the primary culprits of aging. It comes in Light, Natural, and Beige.

The Céleteque DermoCosmetics 24-hour Photoready Foundation (P795.00) is another must-have, as it provides a smooth airbrush finish for 24 hours while concealing dark spots for all skin types. It has micro pigments and silicone elastomers that hide blemishes and dark circles. It’s also has Phytocelltec, a component harnessed from cutting-edge plant cell culture technology that has extensive anti-aging properties, making skin more supple and radiant every day. Just like the Dual CC Matte Powder, the 24-hour Photoready Foundation is also infused with Collagen Peptide, which reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity through regular use: Studies have shown that wrinkles were significantly reduced up to 41.31% through the fourth week of product usage.  Best of all, it has color-correcting pigments and SPF 30 that shield the skin from harmful UV rays. It comes in Light, Natural, and Beige.

The Céleteque DermoCosmetics Dark Spot Concealer Stick (P595.00) offers superior coverage for skin imperfections while protecting the skin from free radicals. It has glycolic acid that lightens uneven dark spots, ranging from blemishes, sun spots, and age spots. It has Cytobiol Lumin-eye, which efficiently reduces puffy eyebags within 15 days! The Dark Spot Concealer Stick also has moisturizing properties, thanks to Tocopheryl Acetate, which promotes skin hydration and improves over-all skin texture. It comes in Light, Natural, and Beige

I absolutely love the Anti-Aging line! The Céleteque DermoCosmetics Dark Spot Concealer Stick has a nice consistency. It's quite thick but can be easily blended. It also provides adequate coverage for spots on my face. I have yet to see how good it is in lessening puffy eye bags (which I obviously need). The Céleteque DermoCosmetics 24-hour Photoready Foundation, on the other hand, feels light on the skin. I have noticed too that it makes the face appear brighter upon application. The Céleteque DermoCosmetics Dual CC Matte Powder goes on smoothly and evenly on the skin. I love that it has SPF and it also helps lighten the skin. The best part is that all of these products provide anti-aging benefits! The only downside I could think of is the limited shades available. There are only three shades: Light, Natural, and Beige. I got the Natural shade and I find it too light for me.

The Céleteque DermoCosmetics Nourishing line, on the other hand, has products that care for and nourish even the more sensitive parts of our face. For the eyes, it has the Eyebrow Nourishing Serum as well as the 24-hour Volumizer Mascara. Also part of the line are the Cheek Color Stick, Matte Lip Stick, Blush and Face Contour Kit that livening up the face with vivid colors while bringing out the skin’s radiant glow.

Celeteque DermoCosmetics (Swatches + First Impression) Blush and Face Contour Kit

Highlight the cheeks with the Céleteque DermoCosmetics Blush and Face Contour Kit (P845.00), which addresses all contouring needs while nourishing the skin. The 3-in-1 kit is composed of easy to blend blush powder, cheek luminizer, and contour blush that are packed with mineral gems (diamond, tourmaline, and sapphire) and mica that exfoliate the skin and make it glow. This key makeup kit product is slated to be a favorite between both makeup newbies and makeup pros as the palette can create subtle angles and shadows that naturally shape the face.  It’ll truly help get you 2X beautiful with the proper highlighting and lowlighting—just like how our fave celebrities do it! This Blush and Face Contour Kit also has castor oil that acts as an anti-aging anti-oxidant, as well as vitamins A, E, F, H, and B, which keep the skin healthy and protect it from irritation. It comes in Pink and Peach.

I am no pro in doing makeup so I love how easy is the Céleteque DermoCosmetics Blush and Face Contour Kit to use. Again, there are limited shades: Pink and Peach. But I think these would be adequate for everyday use. The colors are very vivid with just little amount of product. I think this product would last me long. I am excited to play more with this one. It makes contouring seem so simple!

The multi-tasking Céleteque DermoCosmetics Cheek Color Stick (P645.00) is a must-have in every kikay kit, as it easily highlights, brightens, illuminates, conditions, and adds color to the cheeks, lips, and even eyes. It keeps the skin hydrated, thanks to the moisturizing properties of vitamin E and sweet almond oil. Got dry skin? The Cheek Color Stick also has Bisabolol, an essential oil from the German Chamomile plant, which reduces flakiness brought about by dry skin. It also reduces fine lines to up to 49.89% upon the fourth week of usage. It comes in Pink and Peach.

The long-wearing Céleteque DermoCosmetics Matte Lip Stick (P595.00) provides easy coverage and a pop of color while providing hydration for the lips. It glides easily on the lips and does not leave a waxy finish. Just like the Cheek Color Stick, the Matte Lip Stick is packed with Vtamin E and Bisabolol that nourish the lips and reduce suppleness while getting rid of flaky skin. It comes in Cherry, Pink, and Peach.

The Céleteque DermoCosmetics Cheek Color Stick is definitely a must-have for everyday use! It is simple to use and can add so much life and color to one's face. The one I got is the Peach shade and it kinds of disappear in my skin. I think it would best match women with fair skin. It gives a nice sheen though  to my cheeks that I like. The Céleteque DermoCosmetics Matte Lip Stick is one of my favorites among the bunch! It has a bright cherry color. This lippie is truly matte. It tugs quite a bit when applied and can be drying after some time so it is important to put on some lip balm before applying. I'm not a fan of the packaging though because it doesn't swivel all the way and I tend to damage the product every time I carelessly close it.

Celeteque DermoCosmetics (Swatches + First Impression)

Give the brows much-needed TLC with the Céleteque DermoCosmetics Eyebrow Nourishing Serum (P595.00). It has Biotinyl Tripeptide-1, which makes the brows stronger and healthier. Other ingredients like Panthenol and Pro-vitamin B5 also nourish the hair follicles, while making the skin softer and smoother.

Make your lashes the talk of the town with the Céleteque DermoCosmetics 24-hour Volumizer Mascara (P645.00). Its revolutionary formula promises fuller lashes for 24 hours. It has Acrylates Copolymer, which holds lashes longer while preventing annoying clumps and smudges. It’s also powered with Aloe Barbadensis Leaf juice, which not only promotes the skin’s water retention but also protects the eyes from bacteria. The 24-hour Volumizer Mascara also comes with an innovative retractable brush that reaches even the smallest lashes, giving an even and fuller look with a smooth finish.

I haven't tried the Céleteque DermoCosmetics Eyebrow Nourishing Serum yet. It is advisable to use it twice daily so I think I'll be using it as a clear brow gel. The Céleteque DermoCosmetics 24-hour Volumizer Mascara performs really well! It truly is waterproof! It doesn't clump much when used. The product itself is not quick drying so you'll have to wait a while after applying. The wand is easy to use and covers the tiniest of the lashes.

Overall, the entire Celeteque DermoCosmetics line has so much to offer when it comes to everyday makeup. Just like the packaging of these products, they are simple and clean, yet promising. As regards the price, I could say that these are adequately priced as they perform really well and would last you long. Céleteque DermoCosmetics is available in select Watsons Beauty Stores.
