When I receive it, I was shocked. It looks very dark in the tube, very much darker than my foundation (MAC C3). And the concealer is very neutral tone too, not yellow nor pink. I have to mix the sample of Hide-it in Banana I got in order to lighten and make it more yellow. By mixing these stuffs, I find the perfect shade to cover my dark circles! This concealer is very thick, but it is very easy to blend and not drying at all. (I have very dry lids.) Actually I found that it is the most blendable concealer with the best coverage I have used so far. And the best part of this concealer is, the result looks like it actually melted into my skin, it's not cakey and very natural. Although there is some work involved to use this concealer, but it is worth it. And I don't think the lighter shade will suit me because I tried the sample of hide-it in medium, but that's too light for me.
