I have a very dry eye area and have tried an excessive amounts of concealer, searching for something that doesn't crease terribly.

I have this in radiant vanilla and radiant rose and I use both on a regular basis.

I use radiant vanilla in the under eye are if I don't use any foundation on the eye area. If my under eye area is especially dry this is all that I will use because I find if I use more than one product on those dry days its guaranteed to look cakey. It has decent coverage and if I set it with a translucent powder I don't get much creasing.

I use radiant rose over my foundation, under my eyes. It brightens up my face a lot and if I'm careful with the application I don't get much creasing.

Both have good staying power and not much creasing. It not perfect but a decent quality product for the price.

The only thing I do not like is, if I have moisturizer on my hands its hard to twist the pen.

Brought the pinkish one in 03 - yellow concealer for the under eye area might work for some skintones but doesnt for mine (fair Asian) - the pink concealer does a perfect job and it is very similar to Benefits eye bright pencil. I think its pretty cheap for the quality.

I really like this product. I tried YSL version when I purchased my foundation. I didn't get it because I want to wait to see if I really fancied the foundation. I like the foundation very much. I went to Sephora. I told the makeup artist I was looking for a highlighter. I told her I didn't want to spend over $25. I tried the radiant beige and it looks beautiful. It gives the areas I highlight a nice glow. I use under my eyes, also on the bridge of my nose. I can use elsewhere. However, I don't need too. I'll try using around my lips. The price is affordable.

I've been using this concealer specifically for my undereyes for almost a week now and all I can say is that this product is so and so, The makeup artist who helped me out suggested I give the shade Medium 07 a try, which I did and I actually liked the results on my undereyes. My eyes didn't seem so dark and puffy after being up and working for almost 9 hours and it actually makes me look more wide awake than anything else. So I ended up purchasing the product in hopes that when I apply it myself, it'll actually do me some good. The only con I have about this product is that by mid day when looking at my undereyes, the concealer seemed to look a bit flaky which then settles into lines and instantly there was a tinge of disappointment as that's a big no for me. Will I be repurchasing again, Unfortunately not... for the price of $18.99 I'll probably switch back to Clinique's airbrush concealer. I know I got good results on that one, so I'll definitely be switching back to that brand once I finish this product.

i have been lookin for pen style brightener for quick application on not just my eyes but also bridge of my nose or any places that need highlightinggg.........after looking everywhere i just can't justify paying so much money for such a small amount of product (ysl, dior, etc) but also don't want to settle for quality. Finally i came across this one from sephora and the price is right and i'm sure it works just the same as the those rediculasly expensive onesss.....So far it does the job easy to apply, blend well and don't settle into dry liness....I often use it under my eyes after i done with my makeup and found dark eye shadow smudged on the bottom......i just apply it lightly at where i want it and blend blend blend........and wallaaa..looks very natural and brighttt liked i'm born with.......really recommend

This concealer is so awesome! So I went in Sephora and asked the Sephora girl Mariah which concealer she recommended. She put this one on me and it looked perfect! I work at JC Penney and was working all day and decided with my employee discount I'd shop in JC Penney's Sephora. Now keep in mind I've been working all day so I'm tired, my makeup is worn off, I'm sweaty, etc. I look so bright and perky and perfect! I bought a tube of it and wore it the next day to work and it lasted all day. Also I was told it has several benefits. It moisturizes your eyes to prevent buffiness and underye circles. And it was only $14! And that wasn't even the employee price. What a deal!

EDIT: This product works very well, but after a month I used up all the tube. I expected better results from Sephora. I can find a cheaper version that works just as well and lasts longer. Pretty disappointed because I really liked this.

Okay I'm 20 years old who is obsessed with looking young. I have slight creases(wrinkles) under my eyes. Probably from the 8 years of wearing makeup, my mistake. Anyway every single concealer has settled into that slightly long wrinkle under my eye. This concealer doesn't!!!!! It's the pink based one ( light03). It covers my heredity under eye blueness. I got a sample and just bought it. It matches and melts under my eyes. I swear I look fourteen!!! I am so in love right now I hope it lasts. It comes out kind of hard and you might use too much product but it still gives you that bright look you look. I use it with loreal visible lift serum foundation and I got more of the naked look face. Granted I have acne and while not everything is super smooth i am much happier than before. If you are fair like really pale... Try it please you might find your go to happy concealer. I'm so happy right now. Remember pat on. Never rub or use heavy gestures. Be sweet to your eyes :) hope I helped. I'm glad my sephora lady helped me. Thanks! <3 continued >>

Very nice moist concealer! Great for dry skin like mine. Does not settle in fine lines and hides dark areas around my eyes. The tube twists to get product out. I like the little brush to apply, but I use my finger to blend.

I picked this up at Sephora after noticing that it was on sale for super cheap - I'm talking like $4 or something. Assuming it would be at least decent (I generally stick to drugstore brands), I went ahead and bought three of them. But when I went to try it on, I couldn't even get the stuff out of the tube! I kept turning and turning, waiting for even a little bit of product to emerge, but to no avail. Finally I gave up, but the concealer must have decided to make its appearance at some point, because the next day there was tons of it bleeding all over the bristles and cap.

I've read glowing reviews, so maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but I find it IMPOSSIBLE to get this concealer out of the stupid tube unless you're willing to wait an hour or so for it. I have tried storing it upside down, lying flat, right-side up, but nothing makes a difference. Also, the majority of the product gets stuck in the bristles and cakes up very quickly, so I have to constantly be washing it all off.

I will say, the actual concealer isn't bad. It seemed to do its job, had OK staying power, and didn't seem to settle into fine lines. But the packaging.. ugh. Can't help but wonder who thought it would be a good idea. Not worth a repurchase for me.

i've been trying to find a replacement for my now-discontinuted HG concealer (clinique city stick). concealer is VERY important to me. it's the one thing i NEED to wear every day. unfortunately, it's also very hard to find a good one.

after perusing reviews on here, it appeared to me that it's nearly impossible to find a good concealer and everyone is so particular about what works for them... i really wanted to find an easy answer but... no dice.

so i hunted on my own and bought and returned a few from sephora.

i really like this one. it's a much diff consistency than my previous fave, but it goes on super nice and smooth, feels hydrating, doesn't set into lines, i can use around my nose as well (i use it primarily for under eyes though) and it doesnt flake or look cakey or anything, which so many concealers do. and... it actually does COVER circles and uneven tones.

another major pro: it's SO cheap! $14! at least i consider that peanuts to spend on a product i absolutely depend on.

CON:

it appears that it's being phased out, because it took me forever to track down the color i wanted here in manhattan. a technician at sephora said it was discontinued and had to get me one from the warehouse, although it appears it's still online.... but yeah, if it's being discontinued -- SO annoying. i almost bought two but had spent so much already that day i decided not to. may go back and get an extra in case these do get phased out and then i'm once again on a quest to find a good concealer....

EDIT:
This has barely lasted me at all. I use concealer daily and every other kind I've purchased has lasted at LEAST six months. I'm on month two of using this thing and it's about to be finished. Also, can't find it anywhere. Really think it's being discontinued.

EDIT 2:
I thought it was running out but it lasted much longer than I anticipated. (about 4 months). It definitely has been discontinued now but I stocked up last time I was at sephora (have about 4-5 now). Still very happy with it.
