Worst concealer I've tried yet!! Don't buy it! It doesn't cover anything, in fact it would just kind of somehow build itself around or directly in the corner of my blemishes, but never on the actual zit. So bad.

Not a good concealer, in fact it made the crinkles under my eyes look worse! It didn't even have my color. The only colors they had were too light and too dark. I kinda feel offended as if my skin color isn't good enough to be made a cover girl color for any of their skin products! There is no true olive color for any cover girl Concealers, foundations, or primers...

i have dark circles under my eyes that runs in my family, and am also anemic. I hated this product so much, it was a waste of money. the coverage for the first hour was awesome, then i noticed it started to peel, flake away, and made my eyes look all wrinkley and creasy. It made them look more horrible, than not wearing any concealer at all. won't be buying this again.

I like this concealer, I've bought and used 2 tubes up now and still have no complaints. It's easy to blend and never made me break out. The packaging sucks but I don't think that's a big deal. I use it under a powder foundation and I find it covers up my acne scars quite well. It doesn't last all the way through an 8 hour shift at work, but comes close. I'd say it can last through 7 hours before it starts to fade and my scars show a bit.
Overall, I liked it!

I thought this product was great for covering up blemishes, but it just made me break out. Not a good concealer and the coverage is okay, but at the end of the day my skin was dry and flaky. Worst nightmare! Won't purchase again

This is the worst concealer I've ever used. Maybe it's because I usually buy high end makeup, but this concealer is basically clear! It covers nothing. I even tried to cover a blemish with multiple layers of it. But it doesn't cover in the least bit. This shouldn't even be called a concealer. It was less expensive than the high end concealers but totally not worth it because it doesn't conceal! Waste of money. Don't bother.

It's good! I like the application (in a lip gloss type bottle) and it's easy to blend. It stays on for a few hours but then wears away - but I still like it so I reapply. It doesn't crack like other concealers if you're covering a blemish. The only downside is that if your pimple has been popped and you try to cover it, it looks flaky!

I bought this a couple of days ago because I had a few pretty bad pimples. I got the cool tone and it looked a bit dark for my light skin tone, but I think it worked! Pimples aren't completely unnoticeable with this product, but I'm satisfied and am going to buy again! At first it looked a little orangish, but I've found that if you put just a little bit on and tap it with your finger, it won't look so orange. After I put this on I use Covergirl powder to blend it with my skin tone a little more. I haven't noticed any bad reactions to it, so I have to say I like this product a lot!!! I hope this review helped you!

Absolutely didn't work, purchased the lightest shade which was still several tones too dark. It has a warm, yellow base so not really suitable for those with cooler tones. Doesn't really blend. The price however is good and it's widely available.

I bought this concealer, which was nine dollars at my local drugstore! It has decent coverage, not heavy, nor light. I bought shade 4 because I'm very tanned. Packaging was also decent, had no problems with it. But once I put it on, I thought it worked well before I left my house. At night when I was washing my face for bed, I realized that my skin turned all greasy and oily from where the areas I had applied it. I used it for the past week, and it started to break me out! I would not use this again.

I thought I liked it but in fact I don't. I got the lightest shade (1) but it had a light pink undertone which does not match my skin tone well. It would oxidize on my oily skin and it would turn even pinker. Not the best at covering. Would fade and rub off of my pimples. I would also use it in the eye area. As I said before it oxidizes on my skin and turns a darker pink/burnt orange color. Hard to explain. But By the end of the school day it looked like i had some bizarre eye irritation or rash. Wasn't very very noticeable if you didn't know much about makeup. But for me it was. The packaging is not very sanitary since you put the applicator on your face and then back in the tube; spreading the bacteria everywhere and contaminating the product inside. Because if that my acne didn't really heal properly. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I bought this at my local Walgreens while it was on sale for about $3. I have to say that this concealer does NOT work well. I felt like I should've read the reviews on here before buying it on an impulse. This concealer does not conceal much of anything, especially under eye circles. I thought that it would be a waste to throw it away, so I tried to make this work. The result that I got from it was that it made the area at that I put it lighter. As a result, I had to apply a lighter shade of foundation. I would not repurchase.

EDIT: So I've tried using this more since I wasn't able to find a good concealer yet, and I've found that this "works" temporarily; over time it does look cakey and tends to crease.

Stupidly I bought this on the spur of the moment without checking these reviews. This product is just terrible. It's too thick for undereye concealing and doesn't blend well for concealing anywhere else on the face. It looks worst under the eyes, where it gets stuck in fine lines and makes them look way more obvious than having no make up under the eye at all. Don't buy.

I hadn't really tried any concealers before I bought this, but was aiming to cover up my dark under eye circles and other blemishes on my face. It does not work at all. It works better for the blemishes than the dark circles, but once I've blended it, it doesn;t cover anything, and if anything highlights them. Under my eyes, it doesn't blend and just looks like I'm wearing concealer. It rubs off quickly and if I put powder on top it looks cakey. Overall, I would not buy this product again. I am looking for something thicker with more coverage, since if I am going to wear concealer I just put it on with a tiny bit of powder and that's it.

This worked pretty well on my 61 year old skin. I used shade #1 for my pale skin which matched well. The coverage is not opaque, but it skims over the fine lines under my eyes. I'm using it to brighten my naso-labial shadows too. I paid $4.50 for this at a Giant Foods. Not a bad price. I gave it a 4 rather than a 5, because I wish it had more coverage, though maybe that's not fair since heavier coverage for me equals emphasizing lines and dry patches which this concealer doesn't do.

I have always been lucky enough to have nice skin; however, I got a couple of blemishes at the start of the year and without thinking about whether this was oil-free or not, I bought it and started using it. Couldn't work out why my skin was becoming more and more blocked up, but it was unfortunately this concealer, and I was silly enough to keep using it for months before I worked this out (I hadn't had to worry about blemishes much before, so thought my bad skin all of a sudden was due to stress or hormonal changes, and just kept concealing away...) It concealed fine, but I would never touch it again as it blocked up my skin and made it a right mess. However, may work well for other people who can use concealers that aren't oil-free, or that aren't prone to blemishes. One of the first ingredients is mineral oil, so I would certainly avoid this concealer if oil breaks you out.

This gave me decent coverage on my undereye circles, but it doesn't last more than a few hours even with a setting powder on top. It never covered blemishes very well for me because it wouldn't have enough coverage if I blended it over them but it would get cakey looking if I just barely blended it on top of them. It's not that bad, but I don't recommend it because there are other drugstore ones that are better.

Pros:
- Gave me amazing coverage on my acne scars and redness around my nose when I dabbed it into place as opposed to blending it

Cons:
- Didn't last long at all
- Made my under-eyes look gray
- Cracked when applied on blemishes
- Practically disappeared when I blended it - no coverage then

Basically, it's all about how you apply it. For me, it's definitely not worth the $8 I paid, considering it lasts for only a few hours. I don't recommend this. :(
