This is by far the best under-eye concealer I have used - and I have tried dozens. The applicator is a sponge pad that applies the product very smoothly and is so good for blending. The concealer is pushed up from the bottom by turning the stick until it clicks. It only takes a turn or two of the product - a couple tiny dots. Just a teeny tiny amount is enough! I really like this applicator much better than the type that dips into the cosmetic. After it dries, it stays on all day long. I find that it really needs to be removed with makeup remover or cold cream. Soap and water does not take it all off and the skin under my eyes feels very dry unless I remove it carefully. I actually like plain old cold cream as a remover.

Because the product is very dry - I have found that it works best for me if I first apply some moisturizer. I am in my 50's and have very dry skin. The moisturizer also keeps my under-eye from looking cakey or too wrinkly like they do with other concealers.

I have some pretty serious dark circles and find that this product not only covers very well, but really does have staying power.

Not a bad under eye concealer. The applicator is great! So far, I have not noticed any caking under my eyes. The only problem is that you must wear this with a fully made-up face as it does look very make-uppy; not natural at all.

Well, I'm giving it five lippies because it's an awesome concealer for what it is, but I still might look around a bit. About me: I have oily skin and very bad, hereditary dark circles. I am about an NW20 and bought Fair (Light was too yellow for me). I find that applying it with my ring finger works best, just stipple it on. I put this on in the later morning and set it with EM Finishing Dust and I'm good to go, with no creasing, for about 7-8 hrs. It doesn't cover quite as much as I'd like, but I haven't found anything better. The best thing though, is that it doesn't crease (I'm a teen, so I don't have a lot of wrinkles under there, but most every other concealer I've tried has creased). I'm glad I found this!!

I tried medium deep. I'm a latina, with some dark circles. I tried this formula because I was looking for a good d/s concealer. The color did match my skintone well and brightened up my eyes, didn't cover the circles but did make them a lot less obvious. The search for a h/g (like a less expensive version of touche eclat) continues...

I tried this in Fair and I'm kind of on the fence about it but thinking maybe It's just ok. It's a wand type applicator, which I don't really like, and it's only slightly thicker than their Colorstay Foundation. It did match my skintone good, which is why I like the foundation, but I didn't think It gave great coverage and was a little dissapointed with it's lack of staying power. I expected more from it I guess. I love the foundation and expected I would love this too. Not the case. It's not the worst stuff I've ever used but it's not the best either. I wouldn't buy it again.

UPDATE: Went to buy more of the original concealer only to find out it has been discontinued. Found the one for acne and the one for under eye. I purchased COLORSTAY UNDER EYE CONCEALER WITH SOFTFLEX. Better than the original!!!! This stuff is awesome. I have never had a more perfect blending of color to my skin. It even works great as an eye shadow base on my lids. I have medium w/ yellow undertones and I purchased the LIGHT. FAIR has a pink undertone. When I applied this, I thought the original was creamy, but this new Colorstay concealer melts and blends perfectly with my skin tone. It removes all the redness around my nose and on my cheeks from sun damage without any signs of concealment or demarkation before applying my mineral powder. In fact the coverage and blending of this product is so excellent I could have literally gone without additional makeup. It just left my face looking naturally healthy and all one perfectly matched skin tone. I am ecstatic about the replacement. And I love the new packaging, literally no waste anymore since it pushes all the product up from the bottom like their Lip Glide. Still a loyal customer....Phew I was worried there for a minute. END UPDATE! This is the only concealer I have stuck with over the years. It does not creep into my fine lines and it stays put until I take it off. It has some nice color matches to your skin type. I have tried others over the years, but once I discovered this one, I refuse to switch, much less try something else. It also goes on smoothly, not a lot of tugging, and has a nice creamy feel to it before it sets up. You can achieve a sheer look if blended with a dry sponge or a heavier concealment if blended with just fingers. Either way the look is flawless. It also does a wonderful job of covering up my skin flaws from the sun and redness around my nose. This concealer also seems to be an endless supply of product. A tube just seems to go on and on. Pretty good value. I highly recommend.

This is a pretty good concealer. I like this liquid concealer because it is so easy to apply. I sometimes don’t even have to use foundation because this concealer is good enough alone. This product works well on my oily skin.

This concealer has definetely been discontinued along with the old colorstay foundation. This was the longest lasting concealer around period. The new concealers don't have the longevity. I wish I had stocked up before they stopped selling them.

This is overall an ok product. The only thing it did was remove dark circles under my eyes--a little. This is because I had to rub it in quite a bit to get it to match with my skin tone. Why? Because Revlon (as well as every other makeup company besides Maybelline) only makes concealer for the white woman. I am Indian, but not that dark--think Native American or dark Hispanic, like a light tan. I bought "deep" and it is the color of a tanned white person. This is the darkest concealer most makeup companies have, but it didnt match my skintone at all--plus, it was too yellow-y (I have a more pinkish complexion). It did nothing for my blemishes or pimple scars, and sometimes makes me look a little oily (and I DON'T need that). Overall, only worth it for the little it does for my eyes--the very little. Ten dollars for this crap.

MAKEUP COMPANIES! PLEASE MAKE CONCEALER FOR THE BROWN PEOPLE! Lord. continued >>
