Stila Illuminating Concealer
Average member rating
The liquid foundation-like texture is creamy and nice. When applied, it never looks cakey and doesn't add years by settling into my fine lines. And the mica (illuminating ingredient) is subtle, just enough to brighten up eyes without looking too sparkly. The major disappointment is the tube -- the product constantly squishes out when you screw on the lid. Wipe it off after each use or you risk a messy makeup bag.

Stila Illuminating Concealer has been an absolute God-send to my nearly transparent skin! It offers great coverage for light indiscretions and doesn't appear cakey. I love the very smooth feeling of the concealer and it works great with my tinted moisturizers or on a clean face. It also offers a subtle glow that really makes a face seem less "done" and more dewy and natural. The packaging is tricky and needs improvement as product seems to blurt out when closed. Other than that, fabulous product! June 3, 2008, 8:51 am

Wonderful
by chenderson6 (1 review)This was a great investment. Definitely worth the money spent. Not only does it cover fine lines and blemishes but the shine that it gives one's skin isn't faux looking.

This was a great investment. Definitely worth the money spent. Not only does it cover fine lines and blemishes but the shine that it gives one's skin isn't faux looking. If fact it's a nice natural looking glow that made me feel radiant. I received compliments all night long because of it. Only problem that I had is that when I put it in my purse I didn't realize that some of the make up had squished out of the tube. That's the only downfall. Perhaps they should rethink making it a hard tube. I ended up with a mess of make up on the inside of my purse and on my personal belongings. I still wouldn't trade this wonderful concealer for anything. May 21, 2008, 9:39 am

Quick eye-brightener!

I really like this concealer. Its light and easy to apply. It illuminates without being overly shimmery. It totally conceals my dark circles, and unlike other liquid concealers, it does not settle into my fine lines. I wear this almost daily.

It totally conceals my dark circles, and unlike other liquid concealers, it does not settle into my fine lines. I wear this almost daily. I'd recommend this to anyone with light to medium dark circle issues. People with very dark circles might like a little more coverage than this offers. November 27, 2007, 4:50 pm

Great product--bad packaging
by darcybel (18 reviews)I love the product as a concealer--really works great to cover discolorations --and does not settle in fine lines----wears well. Problem is with the packaging--it's always leaking the way lip gloss does----always goopy--and after 2 months I have product left--but it seems to get darker with time.

I have oily skin and it's hard to find a concealer that "sticks" all day. This one does the job. I apply it with the wand then pat it with a Target foundation brush and it covers really well. I also use this on blemishes and it really disappears, just doesn't look covered up.
I am addicted to this product. And it is probably my one product I could not go anywhere without!!!!

A good concealer for redness and blemishes...
by i_darling (3 reviews)I use this in medium and love that it's actually not too illuminating. I can use it on blemishes and redness without discernable shimmer and it also works under eyes (although it doesn't last too long on me). It does not excacerbate any skin problems in my experiences. My favorite from stila's concealing line is their Pe... November 30, 2007, 11:44 am

Excellent product!
by padutchchick (3 reviews)Love what it does for my 45 year old eyes. Not the most perfect for really dark circles, but does really lighten without looking ghastly. November 30, 2007, 10:46 am1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Totally Natural Looking
by vhfvhf (90 reviews)
This concealer hides the circles in such a natural way. It goes on so creamy. It does not sink into fine lines and it stays fresh all day. August 24, 2008, 6:38 pm0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
