Terrible! this concealer didn't actually conceal anything, it simply set into my fine undereye lines and emphasized them, did not for my small blemishes, dark circles nor small discoloration. Definitely a waste of money

This is a really good concealer for the price. Essence has really come out with top notch products for such a low price point. Covers well, has yellow undertones so good for dark circles. Creamy texture so easy application. Can get cakey if not blended properly. I do like this product but I prefer liquid concealers and highly recommend for people to try the Essence 16 hour concealer.

This is the best concealer I have ever tried... Then again, it's only like the second or third. Despite my lack of experience, this is a great product. It covers everything and the packaging is very convenient for throwing in a makeup bag since its small and not bulky. However, this does have it's flaws. If you put to much on, you really have to blend... And then blend some more or it will look cakey. I bought the color 05 Matt Beige and it's a pretty good match for my medium-yellow toned skin. For the price, it's definitely worth a try. I just wouldn't repurchase since I'd like to try some other concealers out.

This is an unbelievably good cover stick. I got it due to reviews here, so thanks MUAers! I got it in 04 (true nude) which is perfect for my light-medium skintone, and has a pink undertone which is great for dark circles (I find pink works better than yellow for my circles). It is incredibly smooth and has great coverage, and is matte like the name says. For 1,99 Euros it really can't be beaten, the quality is just insane for the price you pay.

EDIT: Every time I use this underneath my eyes, it covers my dark circles very well, but it also makes my under-eye look just plain gross close-up. It looks dry and as if there are very thin, short rolled-up flakes all over my under eye area, if I apply too much. It creases a lot under the eyes (as well as on the lids if you want to even out veins), even when using a tiny amount. I also don't really like using it for blemishes as it is just a tad too pink, but I think the 03 would work perfect, as it really does cover blemishes pretty well (especially if you 'tap' it into the skin with a finger (unhygienic, I know)).

I absolutely love this product. Unfortunately, I can't get it in my current location, so I had to wait months to be able to repurchase it. In the meantime, I tried so many other brands (Loreal, Maybelline etc) and none of them was as good as essence. It doesn't break me out, it covers beautifully, blends beautifully. I actually bought two to make sure that I won't run out of it. Great value for money.

I thought this was going to be a crappy thing, since it was only $3.95 AUD, but since many people raved about it, I thought lets give it ago. Like $4 what could go wrong (note that the cost of make-up in Australia is crazy expensive!) ? But wow. This thing is amazing. It covers my acne, redness, under eye circles and scars, and the colour Matt Beige is perfect for my skin. It's good for on the go since the packaging is so small and cute. I really love it and of course I will buy it again and again. X

Well you get what you pay for. This concealer doesn't cover anything, it goes on way too sheer. Doesn't blend easily, looks cakey. Limited shade selection makes it difficult to find a good color match. I feel self-conscious with this on. Just a low-quality product overall. Wouldn't buy again and don't recommend.

This is one of my favorite concealers, for a stick concealer it is very creamy, has great coverage and although it is yellow toned it worked fine on my under-eye circles. It is matte and lasted a long time on my skin. I went through this product pretty fast tho because it is so creamy, but for 2.49 or so, I didn't expect a lot of product. I am planning on repurchasing this soon, as I am almost done the one I am working on now.

I thought this product was great for the value, but honestly its lacking. It doesnt have a smooth application which I find difficult to like.

It does have a yellowish sheen to it, so the only thing I use this for is covering up blemishes.
