I love this concealer. It covers well and is fairly hydrating. It also matches my skin color perfectly. I would highly recommend!

Loving it! Im a concealer whore. I've been using high end opaque concealers (MUFE full cover/amazing cosmetics/mac prolong wear/kat von d tattoo) and numerous drugstore concealers for years to cover up my awful dark under eye circles. I used to literally spend over 5 minutes to use a brush and dab out with sponge applicators etc. I tested this out on an "off day" where I just applied it directly from the lipstick shaped tube and patted it out with my ring finger + lightly set it with my hg maybelline dream matte powder that never cakes. It brightens up my under eye area and makes me look awake! However, it settles into my fine lines quickly if i don't set it enough, which is not the biggest issue since a little bit of my dream matte powder on my tiny sonia kashuk contour brush goes a long way. Pretty sure It's not as opaque as my expensive concealers but for $8 it works so well. Would definitely repurchase!

Having run out of my coveted MAC Select Cover and no MAC store nearby, I opted to try this. I don't use concealer under my eyes because it never looks right, it's always "makeupy" looking. But I do use it to cover the odd blemish. Anyhoo this worked well, I just need a tiny dab and blend. It didn't make my breakout worse and the blemish stayed covered, unlike some concealers that slide off during the day. For reference I am NW20 and combination skin, I used the Fair shade. Oh, and it didn't oxidize either, which is good. Stayed the same color all day until I washed it off. I liked it.

I have used tons of concealers and this is one of the worst. I wanted to love it. But if you are fine lines and wrinkles and plan on using this under your eyes...beware. No concealer has EVER creased so horribly on me than this one. After only 30 minutes, this had settled in my fine lines under my eye area and it looked awful. Will not recommend or repurchase.

Blends easily and is definitely creamy. Brightened up my under eye area very nicely without looking cakey or feeling heavy. I applied straight from the tube and then blended out with a brush/my fingers and set with powder.

I love this concealer! The Fair/Light shade works so perfectly for my NC20 skin. The thing I like most about this is that is works for both my undereye circles and blemishes. It blends really easily and does not get too cakey if I put on a second layer under my eyes. The texture is very creamy, especially for a stick product. It is not a heavy-duty concealer, so I would not recommend it for someone with very dark undereye circles or severe acne, but if you need a good simple concealer that does "double duty," this is a great product. I have to use a "primer concealer" like HC Glamoflauge underneath if I have a really bad breakout, but this also works well over it. It is also less expensive than the other CoverGirl/Olay products, making it very affordable. The only thing I dont like about this is the somewhat flimsy packaging. It looked a little grimy after just one day and the tube feels light, but it's a drugstore product, so you can't expect the heavy, luxurious packaging of more expensive brands.

If you're in the market for a drugstore/inexpensive medium coverage concealer, this is the best of the products I have tried over the years. I will definitely repurchase when I use up this tube.

I was surprised when I tried this product. I was expecting a dry stick and instead I got a creamy and smooith concealer which is really easy to apply and covers undereye circles really well ! I apply directly from the tube but then blend with a concealer brush !

This is fairly creamy and works very well with dry under eye areas. I need a decent amount of coverage (medium-full) and this is more of a medium. I like how it doesn't cake on the skin. It covers broken capillaries around my nose too. The only cons I could think about this was that it disappears within the day. We're talking maybe 4hrs of coverage and it's gone. The other part is that it doesn't cover redness, acne or, redness caused by acne. So it's not for all over. Just the eyes and some broken capillaries. I'll keep it around for good days when I just need to do my under eyes. I'm on the fence. If they could have gotten this to last longer and cover acne, I'd forever buy it.

Saw this item at drugstore, read about reviews with "balm" and Non-drying concealer. I was very intrigued and wanted to give this a shot, and I AM VERY VERY HAPPY THAT I DID. I have very dark, blue/purple dark circles, - olive skin and I wanted something smooth to conceal. This is the bomb !! I loved it. Its very smooth and creamy and does not cake or crease in my lines. I pat under my eyes with my ring finger and it blends GREAT !!! I really love this and its smoothness and will continue to use this item as I really like how it conceals. Blend and set with powder, this is really making me a happy happy person. Does not leave a raccoon look either.
