The Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer - SX 08 is a multi-functional complexion perfector designed for individuals seeking comprehensive, long-lasting coverage for a range of skin concerns, from dark circles to hyperpigmentation. Its key benefit lies in its highly concentrated, buildable, and hydrating formula that acts as a concealer, corrector, highlighter, and contour. However, due to its potent pigmentation, careful application of a very small amount is crucial to avoid a heavy or cakey look.

The Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer - SX 08 is engineered for high performance with minimal product. Its concentrated pigment means a rice-grain-size amount is often all you need for substantial coverage. This product excels in creating a flawless-looking base while maintaining a natural skin-like finish.
General Coverage/Concealing: For blemishes, uneven skin, or redness, choose a shade closest to your natural skin tone. Using a tool like The Concealer Brush or your fingertip, pick up a tiny amount. Apply by gently stippling onto the target area, building coverage as needed. The warmth of your fingers can help blend the product seamlessly into the skin.
Dark Circle Correction: For under-eye brightening, pick up a small amount and apply sparingly to areas that need brightening. Gently blend with the warmth of your fingers. The formula is designed not to settle into fine lines.
Color Correcting: While SX 08 is a general enhancer, other shades like SX 09 are specifically noted for neutralizing hyperpigmentation. If using SX 08 for correction, ensure the shade is appropriate for counteracting the specific discoloration.
Highlighting and Contouring: To highlight, select a shade one to two tones lighter than your skin tone. Apply to high points of the face like cheekbones, brow bone, and bridge of the nose. For contouring, choose a shade one to two tones darker and apply to areas you wish to recede, such as the hollows of your cheeks and jawline. Blend thoroughly for a natural sculpted effect.
Tattoo Coverage: Due to its high pigment concentration and buildable nature, this enhancer can effectively cover tattoos. Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to set slightly, then blend the edges for a smooth transition.
There is no complex setup required for the Sensual Skin Enhancer. It comes in a compact pot, ready for immediate use. For best results, ensure your skin is clean and moisturized before application. Using a dedicated concealer brush like The Concealer Brush can help with precise application and measurement of the small amount needed.
The Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer is formulated for all skin types, including Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily skin. Its hydrating ingredients make it suitable for dry skin, while its non-cakey, non-settling properties are beneficial for combination and oily skin types as well.
