I was a little disappointed with this concealer: this was my very first mac product and i wanted to but it because i heard my friend talking great about it. i purchased the shade NC30 but it was too dark. however, maybe it's because of my oily skin, but i found this product too thick and hard to apply.. now it just lies in my beautycase waiting for reeeally cold days in winter.. :(
I love this concealer. It brightens eyes without leaving obvious creases and lasts all day assuming there are no tears! It is thick without being too cakey and suits my skin perfectly. My daughters also have pots and love it.
Personally I apply with my fingertips rather than a brush (always ring fingers), for speed more than anything, which makes it awkward with fingernails getting in the way! That said, this is not a deterrent from me repurchasing when I need to and simply means I'll have to allow an extra couple of minutes to use a concealer brush!
Good price too as a little goes a long way and the pot will outlast probably 5 clinique pen concealers. Great product, best concealer I've found.
Not a bad concealer, actually it's pretty good for covering up redness and blemishes. I haven't played with it under my eyes as the consistency although whipped mouse like, I feel it may be a tad thick for under my eyes.
Comes in a pot w/ screw off lid. Not the most hygenic, but that's how it goes. Texture is light, almost mousse like yet product seems a tad thick. Thick enough to cover redness and blemishes w/ minimal creasing. If it creases, too much was used. Wears most of the day on my normal/ dry skin without enhancing any dryness.
Tried it as an e/s base, and that was a fail. It creased within a few hours, unlike Studio Finish.
Overall, a good concealer...something worth considering. Would purchase again, as I like to have a variety of products to mix things up.
After running out of my FAV concealer and then finding out it was discontinued; I decided to try this (BTW, i later found my FAV concealer on eBay and stocked-up). It has a thick/creamy consistency and blends better when warmed, it covers up very well, but the blending and getting it perfect was a PAIN and took me forever and once I did...I later found it totally creased...i was disappointed.
i have this in NW30, i normally wear MAC C40 or Bobbi Brown in Honey, i really like how creamy this concealer is, but when i set it with MACs prep and prime transparent powder it can crease a bit, but i dont mind. i also use it to cover blemishes.
I've bought it in NW15 and at first I thought it was too light..But it works miracles for my under eye circles!!!I love it!But I don't think it's suitable for blemishes because it's too oily and it would wear off..My circles are purple and brown so first I cover them with another light (in texture) concealer-a bit darker and yellowish- and on top I put this and I'm done!!!Will absolutely buy this again! :)
Bought this to try for more coverage/longer lasting. First, it's hard to get out of that little jar, and it's super thick-like paste. The product the sales person used doesn't seem at all like I brought home. It does cover, but doesn't last any longer than any other concealer. Will not be buying this again.
I absolutely love this concealer! I have tried so many from high end to drugstore, and this is definitely my all time favorite! I had initially bought this for my acne scarring around my nose, but the lady had put it also under my eyes (where I have horrible purple circles) and this covered them perfectly! The only thing is that after a while it might sink into your fine lines, yet I just pull a bit at the bottom of my eye and smooth it out and it looks great again! It is a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way so I know this will last a good while. I had also tried the prolong wear concealer at the same time and it definitely didn't cover as well for my nc30 skin. Overall, amazing product!

I get acne on a regular basis nowadays, and i also have a bit of scaring...nothing major. having tried 3 other high-end concealers, i was desperate for this to work. i now use it for blemishes daily, for scaring and for under-eye circles. i bought it in shade NC15. i apply with my fingers and blend with them too. the coverage is more than i could ask for. for my under-eye cirles, which are dark and a bit purple, it covers just enough! not in a way where i look cakey, but in a way that looks like i just slept for 10 hours! it's my go-to concealer and i love it to death. :)
