solid performance

This concealer is pretty good for every-day use. It gives medium coverage, so if you have really dark under-eye circles you might want to choose something else. It does brighten my eyes, and doesn't look cakey. The package is absolutely terrible, and i must have gotten a defective tube, because the product doesn't go through the brush most of the time. In fact the tube cracked where the applicato...read morer is attached to it, so i basically end up taking off the applicator and using my fingers to pat it under my eyes. It wears ok, sometimes creases a bit in the lines, but not too bad. A huge plus is that it works good on dry skin and doesn't smell. Won't buy again, nd mainly because the packaging is so awful and messy.

Not Good at All

I hate this concealer. It doesn't blend well at all, and provides very minimal coverage. I can imagine that the color is too yellow for most people, too. It didn't serve well as an eyeshadow base, either, mainly because it's too yellow to use on the eyelid, and is too moist to work as a shadow primer. Also, they claim that it contains ingredients to reduce puffiness, but I saw no evidence of that. This wasn't that cheap, so it was quite a disappointment.

Counteracts circles

Finally a budget concealer that hits it right on the head with the yellow tone to counteract dark, blue undereye circles. This concealer does it's job of concealing shadows and brightening up the whole eye area. As far as the eye base part? They could have left out that gimmick and just stuck to what the concealer really does well. The applicator isn't genious, but it's not ineffective either thou...read moregh I could have done without the messy, squeezy tube and brush. The formula and the concealing and brightening qualities are worth the purchase here; it accomplishes these feats better than any other drugstore concealer I've tried to date.

Makes amazing eye Primer

i have very oily eyelids that causes my shadow eyeliner and even mascara to slide around. But using this product as a primer/ shadow base has done wonders for the staying power of even my mascara! shadows stay on and do not crease!Even my bottom mascara and liner do not smear! this is similar to two faced shadow primer or mac paint pots.

Lies... Lies...

This concealer doesn't blend and covers nothing. It is very sheer and the applicator helps none what so ever. This concealer also doesn't brighten your face - it is just sparkles in the formula.

good as a primer

i like the primer half of it. I don't feel like it really covers my under eye circles well though. But i can't complain. i got this on clearance for $3.

nothng special

I bought this in hopes that it would intensify the color of my eyeshadow while keeping it on longer but it really did neither. I had too high of expectations for it. It made my eyeshadow go on smoothly, but other than that, it did nothing. Will not repurchase and it has been sitting in my makeup drawer for over a year. Not worth the money.

Consistency changes

It has good coverage but requires too much of the product to get it. Serves as a good shadow primer and that's it. The consistency goes from thick to watery, it's too hard to get the product out when there it gets low. Just a pain in the butt to use.

Great!

I've been using this product for two weeks and I have to say that I'm impressed. I apply it by dotting around my eyes very gently and then I blend using my fingers. Every once in a while I'll clean the brush to remove bacteria but overall I like this product. It depuffs my eyes and conceals them in a more natural way. If you're looking for heavy coverage, this isn't the concealer for you. It gives a good light coverage and is definitely a must buy for a natural look!

Actually makes my circles look WORSE

I randomly bought this at the store without looking it up and that was obviously a mistake. Every time I wear it it brings attention to the bags under my eyes and overall just doesn't look good. I've had it for a long time but can't bring myself to put it on anymore.
