User reviews
I have used this concealer off and on for years. But I can never remember my shade, not to mention that what is popular has changed. That horrible stage where we lightened our under eyes was just horrible. I absolutely love the brightener (shade 160). Since I didn't see myself going to the store soon, I tried to find swatches online. I am usually really good at matching drugstore shades but the color is way too light this time. I recommend being patient and checking out the shades in the store because I really thought I got it right this time. I plan on mixing it because it has a great formula. It is nice and light and makes my skin feel like it can breathe. It just glides on and my under eyes never feel crusty or dry. And it somehow covers my circles really well (when the shade matches). The formula is a classic and a best seller for a reason. The sponge top they could do away with though. Otherwise, I just wish I got the right shade.Edit: I took a chance and ordered shade 121 and it is perfect for me. I was intrigued by the fact that it is a newer shade and I love that they added a lot of shades because I recently remembered that my old match was a little grey and this is perfect. I have been loving using it and I can't emphasize enough how light and creamy this formula is. If you don't like the concealer by itself because you feel like you still have shadows, try adding the brightener! Anyway, so I added a star because since they added shades and I found my match, I have no complaints. The best at the drugstore for sure!
This product was very easy to blend, surprisingly. I found the color to be a little off, but that was because of the shade I chose. The attachment makes the concealer blend like a dream, and you don't need any additional sponges or brushes to blend this product. I also found it to work under powder very well. I use two different powders and the concealer formula did not crack, but was smooth and have a great finished look. It's medium coverage like it claims. Ultimately, I will be using this concealer again underneath my eyes, and the effortlessness and ease of this product makes it fit into my everyday routine.
I have to say that I was not expecting much from this product and I bought it on a whim after I looked in the mirror under the fluorescent lights at work and saw the line of an actual VEIN running under my eye and freaked out. Who has skin so transparent you can see their face veins? Gross! I have crappy sinuses, am super pale, and live through the daily struggles of a stress-inducing and sleep-depriving corporate job that seems to suck the life out of me so my dark circles are to me, something that I am always aware of. They aren't absolutely terrible but when coupled with the hollows under my eyes that are hereditary, the area under both of my eyes seems to absorb the light like an evil black hole. Anyway, I've tried a lot of products, from high-end concealers to other drug store brands and all have some sort of drawback, make them look worse, or just don't work at all. This one, while not perfect, is the BEST I've tried so far! As I said before, I'm pale enough that I basically double as a person-shaped night light (strawberry blonde hair, light eyes, and oodles of freckles) and I bought the lightest color available. While it is still slightly dark for me when I put it on, it appears to blend in with my skin after I pat it in with my fingers. It also works well for any areas on my face that are red. The concealer doesn't make me look like I have a million fine lines under my eyes that I don't actually have, like a lot of others that I tried, and it has also performed well with every eye cream that I've used it with--it didn't cake, ball up, or change colors. It has not upset my sensitive eyes or the skin around them, which is a small miracle as I have problems with probably 85% of the products I try, so that was a huge deal for me!The only things I would change about it would be to have some sort of natural/chemical-free sunscreen for some eye protection, since many eye creams and concealers don't offer any and in a perfect world, it might have some sort of anti-aging or darkness fighting properties. It doesn't make the dark circles completely disappear, but I could see that it would if I wore more makeup as I normally only wear a tinted mineral powder or light BB cream as my normal makeup since my sensitive and pale skin with freckles make finding a foundation nearly impossible (MAC and Sephora have failed me!). For those who are lucky enough to be able to wear normal foundation without looking like a [badly] painted lady, this would probably be a miracle in a bottle when used in conjunction with it. Overall, this concealer is definitely a great buy. I wouldn't call it a miracle since you can still see some residual darkness under my eyes showing through, but it's definitely the best I've tried and it certainly makes me look about 200% better with it on than I do without it! I would definitely recommend it and will buy it again when it runs out, though I think it will last a while since the amount in the container seems very generous and I'm light-handed with how I apply makeup. I am considering trying the foundation from the same line to see if my sensitive face will accept it or if it'll punish me for trying it.Oh, and I also didn't realize that I was going to receive two of them when I ordered it, which was really cool to find when I opened the box. I have no idea if that was a mistake or if I just didn't read the listing right, but either way, I thought that was pretty cool! 🙂
