TWHS Reviews Tintalize Concealer for Feet

Flawless.  Beyonce has made it a national declaration, but not many of us really are.  And as much as I embrace Dove's mantra, "My flaws are fabulous", the arrival of sandal-baring season puts issues on full display.

Case in point; peeling off the layers of wool socks and boot liners from winter have revealed the ills of unsightly foot veins; poo!  Not necessarily what I want to have competing with my bejeweled flat sandals. 

The lovely owners (and fellow shoe lovers) from Tintalize shipped me a tube of their foot concealer for review. Created out of necessity by BFFs of 30+ years, makeup Artist Allyson Carey and Investment Banker Sydney Dillard knew the answer was a smudge-proof/waterproof/sweat-proof/rub-proof foot makeup to conceal corns, veins, uneven skin tones, tattoos, abrasions, scars and any other unsightly issues.

I am tossing confetti and baking cupcakes, because for years I have tried concealing flaws with my regular foundation, only to have it smear on my shoes and furniture. Available in seven shades, Tintalize is compatible for all skin tones - including women of color - which other foot makeup lines miss the mark. I was shipped the shade 'Allyson' for my copper-penny complexion.  Here are the results:

To test it even further, I applied the concealer to my calf area that Zora my puppy tends to dig into with her claws during playtime (her pedi is scheduled tomorrow):

I even slipped on pants over it to walk Zora, lounged while watching TV, and it was still only on my calf at the end of the night!   I'm sold. Get your hands on Tintalize so you can stand tall reciting the Open Toe Sandal Pledge!

The Open Toed Sandal Pledge

As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wearing sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.
I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.

I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.
I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr.Scholl's if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go to my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $25 or $30 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.
