WORKS GOOD

I got this in a Benefit sample kit (Finding Mr. Bright-which, by the way, I love sample kits!! It's great to be able to try products out before unloading your wallet on them) and so far I like it. Since it's a paste, a little goes a long way (for me anyway). The color that came in the kit for this product was medium and it actually works well with my skin. I use it to conceal pimples that may ...read morepop up and also on my lids as a primer. I might buy it when it runs out but if it's too pricey I will probably go with my usual concealer.

Erases essentialy nothing.

I admit, I had good expectations from this product. Creamy, blendable, concealing, highlighting all in one sounded too good to be true. Guess what? It was! This product is very creamy but you need a very small amount to conceal. It is hard to get this amount, even with a qtip or the spatula. After much, much careful blending the product was shiny for a few minutes and dried into a uber matte finis...read moreh, aka "cakey". This product did not highlight nor conceal very well and did not look natural at all. Your best bet is to skip this product altogether.

Pretty good, but not a miracle product...

This is supposed to be a life-changing, all-purpose product. Mmmm. Not quite. This concealer is creamy and moisturizing and does a pretty good job of concealing dark circles but is not a miracle product. I like it, I will continue to use the rest of the jar since I purchased it, but will search elsewhere next time I'm shopping for a good concealer for my dark circles.

Colors Didn't Match and Too Messy.

Neither the fair nor the medium colors worked for me. They were too pink, and the deep was too dark. I also found the formulation to be very creamy but too liquid and messy for my taste. It would work well if you used a brush to apply, but I prefer using my fingers. The coverage of this product would be good if the color matched my skin. I would like the texture of this product if it had a different applicator.

Best at dark under eyes!

I use this concealer under my Bare Mineral Original foundation and I love it. It is heavier than most so be sure to moisturize well under your eyes. I use the medium and it has an apricot tint to it, which is good for neutralizing the dark circles. I also use it on the dark spots on my cheeks and a small red scar on my nose. The instructions say to put a bit on the pack of your hand and sort of w...read morearm it before using but I really don't find I need to do this. I apply is with a concealer brush and then pat blend with my fingers. See what works best for you. If I use a liquid or creamy foundation, I apply if over the foundation, a little more sparingly. Set with loose powder.

Stop reading reviews, just go buy it.

I've never been so happy with a concealer in my entire life. Over the past few years, I've tried at least ten different products on my under eye circles and this is the only one that I've really fallen in love with. I picked mine up for $28 from Sephora, and while that may seem steep for such a tiny pot of product, it's worth it because it lasts. It gives me smooth, creamy coverage with just tiny ...read moreamount of concealer. It's light, lasts relatively well, and it really makes a massive difference with dark under eye circles. I would recommend it to anyone.

Full coverage

This concealer is true to the name. Super moist, gooey formula that will cover anything. Not much color range, but light works for me. Main complaint is that it comes off on this really easy if I brush my face against anything

Great for purplish/blue dark circles

I have terrible hereditary dark circles and this covers them completely. Another benefit, the tiny jar lasts a very long time so don't be worried about the size of the jar. Only drawback-it wears off quickly. You'll need to reapply throughout the day.

Very good if your skin around your eyes is dry

I really like this concealer because it doesn't let my skin dry like some other ones. I just regret it doesn't offer a better coverage.
