I can never find a good concealer that actually, well, conceals! I was wondering though the make-up isle the other day and I spotted this. For $2, what the hey, it's worth a try. If push comes to shove, I can use it as a eyeshadow base or a nude lipstick if it doesn't work.
I have naturally dark circles under my eyes (thanks mom!), though not as dark as some people's, so even when I don't want to put make-up on, I generally try to do something to hide them or at least make them less apparent.
So, I got this in 804. Surprisingly, the color of the stick is actually very close to what goes on your face. I've had major problems with buying concealers or foundations and trying to match the color; what's in the pot isn't always what comes out. The texture is great; it goes on smooth and doesn't cake or crease. I'm still learning how to apply it, but coverage is terrific. Really take some time to learn how to apply it because, like a lot of make-up, it will look bad if you don't do it right. It lasts for a long time as long as you don't rub your eyes (which I do tend to do, so it doesn't last quite as long for me.) It's pretty easy to reapply and it's small, so finding room in your purse isn't a problem. It also does well at covering small blemishes and pimples, though if you're a picker or a popper and the skin is broken, it doesn't do much to hide that.
Overall, I think I'll buy this again. I'll probably recommend it to other people as well.
Also, aliawilk123 has good advice on applying this; it really helps! Go find her review.
I've tried using tons of different concealers, & I was really strapped for
cash when I saw this. I got it in 801, the lightest shade, & I was suprised at how well this covered up my undereye circles! My skin is very porcelain, this shade is perfect. It lasts me about 3 months, using it everyday, but what got me was the price. It's $1.99 for a single stick!
Application takes some getting used to, you have to rub it in just a bit. Good for covering up zits, but does fade after a while.
-edit-
after using this for a while, I had some of the worst breakouts Ive ever had. I stopped using it & i cleared up completely. What I also noticed was that the oil & dirt off my skin formed on the tip & was being rubbed back into my skin =/ continued >>

I'm almost ashamed to be writing this, but I read the reviews on this, and I figured for $1.99, I wouldn't be wasting much to try this. So, I did. And much to my surprise, this concealer is actually pretty good! It goes on really smooth and works really well when it comes to covering redness. So, I think I might actually recommend this for someone.
::Edit::
Nevermind. After an hour or so, this is a hot greasy mess!
not a bad product for its price. there definitely are better products up there that dont feel as slimy and unnatural, but if you are only willing to fork out 2 bucks for 3 months worth of concealer, here's your baby
This concealer was good, but it felt kinda wierd, i used it for my undereye circles, but it was kind of obvious. When i kept on using it, i started getting these bumps, so i stopped using it. but i saw on youtube that you could use your stick concealer as lipstick, so i tried it, and it worked out great for a nude lip! so wipe off the nasty part, and use it as that ;]
I bought this product because i needed a new concealer and it was
$1.99 so I bought it.
It has a very heavy cakey texture that feels awful on your skin.
not to mention the fact that it has a weird color.
Its very yellow. Which I guess works if you
have yellow undertones in your skin.
but if you are fair like me it looks very weird on your skin and doesn't blend.
But i guess I can't be too picky considering the price.
overall I didn't really like this concealer.
The texture of this concealer is creamy and the staying power is good. I like the stick packaging and the coverage is medium to full. It covers my undereye circles well but is pretty obvious on pimples.
Well, I bought this on a whim as my first concealer (so I have like, zero concealer experience btw.... its like a half-baked review), since it was all cheap and all, and I was also like "hey, a concealer, I was reading decent reviews on MUA and it's 1.50 so why not?". Firstly... Well, I'm giving it a 3 because....
The texture was nice. Not too heavy or cakey, not exactly blendable but hideable under foundation. It covered up blemishes well. I didn't test this anywhere else though.
The colour DID NOT match me... it was like putting light, light beige poster paint on my face it was so pale. And I don't consider myself thatttt dark, and this was the darkest shade available. WnW needs to wake up and see that not all of its consumers are that light.
Lastly, price (as usual) was super low. Absolutely not buying again though, since I really don't use concealer... At all.
EDIT: so i realised that i'm never ever going to use this... its just so useless to me, i would have rather spent the 2 bucks on wnw eyeshadow, lots better than this :D
For under eye, this is the best stuff ever. It will even everything out seemlessly, make it all seem perfect, and you won't even feel it under your eye. I refuse to use anything but this and elf under eye studio concealer since these are both amazing. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

I use this in light and also light/medium depending on the season and what I'm trying to cover ;-) I really like this stick concealer, I was worried at first, because it looked sort of pink in the container versus other stick concealers I have that are more yellow...but as soon as I applied it (over blemishes), my fears were laid to rest, as it blends and covers beautifully! I should mention that the "Light" one isn't super pale like some, which I happen to like, it doesn't leave whiter spots under/over your foundation. The texture is perfect, since some concealers are either to dry and chalky, or they're too soft/oily. . This one is nice and creamy and opaque...and did I mention it's dirt cheap?!
