Wow - it works
italiaca (222 reviews)

I can't believe this one isn't a straight 10 from everyone. I have tried EVERYTHING to cover hyperpigmentation. This one works. And the best part is it has a very natural finish. Not too dry. It's a keeper and a buy again. I'm so happy I found this! — 2 years, 10 months ago

smoothing and soothing
jenstar313 (96 reviews)

this was recommended to me by a saleswoman at sephora, at my request for something lightweight but still effective at covering my dark under-eye circles =( she noticed my under-eye skin was a bit dry and recommended the time balm. it may not be moisturizing, but it definitely does a fine job brightening up my eyes w/o settling into fine lines or revealing dry patches. feels good as it goes on smoothly. — 4 years, 1 month ago

great concealer
mandyann8 (9 reviews)

I absolutely love this product. It gives great coverage both under my eyes and for the occasional pimple. I gave it a 9 because sometimes it does crease a bit under my eyes even with the use of moisturizer and eye cream. It is long lasting. All you have to do is set it with powder, and you are ready for the day! — 1 week, 3 days ago

My favorite!
christa_ohara (4 reviews)

I absolutely LOVE this concealer!! I have been using it every day for both eye concealer and to cover blemishes and redness/blotchiness. It works great!! I love the little "pot" that it comes in and it makes it so easy to put in any purse. It comes with a little sponge inside, however, I find it easiest to just apply and blend with clean fingertips. Sometimes if I am in a hurry and have time to use only one product, this will be it. — 3 months ago

The best yet...
Possum (1 reviews)

I've tried many concealers over the years. This one is wonderful for under eyes and the small scar on my nose! It only takes a very small amount to get perfect coverage. The packaging is deceptively small. Since it takes so little it lasts a long time. The trick with this concealer is to apply it very sparingly and build coverage sparingly as well. Otherwise it will look overdone. I highly recommend this product. — 3 months, 3 weeks ago

9 Worst Concealers

Good heavy duty concealer
Karalinne (7 reviews)

I've used Time Balm concealer for over a year when I need heavy duty emergency coverage. With layering there is almost nothing it can't conceal, including the black eye I got from an over exuberant welcome home greeting by a Labrador Retriever puppy! As far as seeing any improvement in my skin from using it, I can't honestly say that I notice any difference but it is a good and reliable concealer that doesn't wear off quickly in hot or humid weather. I have noticed a small tendency for it to settle into creases during drier months, so I use a moisturizer under it during the winter. — 1 year, 4 months ago

good stuff
katiecourtney (129 reviews)

Also recommended to me by a Sephora saleswoman. Pleased with it; very smooth and creamy and conceals well. Sumtimes settles in the inner corners of my eye but just needs to be blended in a bit more. Better than Nars and other pricey products! Lasts a long time too! only issue is it comes with a little sponge for application which only lasts a couple weeks.. — 1 year, 5 months ago

GREAT-but still not holy-grail level :(
orianadaly (18 reviews)

I'm on the search for a perfect concealer this is a 7- a 10 being the PERFECT concealer. This concealer is great-its a bit thick, but with all under-eye concealers after you heat it up (under a lamp, in a warm room-during a shower) it is easier to blend. I screw the cap on really tight to avoid drying out and so far it has worked. This concealer did not smooth out all my lines but no concealer really does, so I learned to apply a moisturizer to try and keep the properties of the concealer. It does its job-like any concealer you have to reapply, so thats why I give it a 7-its not perfect but its the best I've tried. — 2 years, 5 months ago

Conceals
morningblues342 (22 reviews)

I have hereditary dark circles and this is what I currently use to conceal them. You must put this on in a thin layer, with the applicator or a brush. If you don't, it will crease. At the end of the day, the dark circle are peaking through and it looks like it might have flaked off or something. But, I have noticed if you use a moisturizer underneath this concealer, it will apply easier and stay much better throughout the day. I did realize I prefer liquid concealer, and will not purchase this product again. — 2 years, 5 months ago
