I have this in the jar form & its called Pro-secret weapon in the light-medium which is a tad darker for my NC25. Its yellow toned vs the lighter option so I gave it a go. Its kind of oily so slides around alot. The coverage isn't anything exceptional. Its an ok product, but nothing warranting a repurchase.

Because I have horrible dark, purple-blue under eye circles I am always trying new concealers. I bought this on sale at Ulta in both the fair and light shades. The fair is a good color match and I can use it alone but the light actually works better for me because it seems to have a yellow tint. After moisturizing and applying primer, I pat this on under my eyes lightly with my fingertip. It has a very creamy texture which blends easily. It's heavier than a liquid concealer but lighter than a stick version which seems the best consistancy to me. It covers well, not perfectly but I am still learning to work with it.

If I use the light though, I must even out out the color with foundation or a little fair concealer. My favorite way of using it now is to set this with fair mineral concealer powder (I'm using E.L.F.) applied with a concealer brush. Yes, there is some settling in my fine lines but I haven't found anything yet which doesn't do that so I won't blame the product.

I think this concealer is definitely worth a try so I gave it 4 lippies for the texture, fine packaging and the price for which you get a good amount of product, in my opinion. It should blend easily to cover other areas of the face too but my primary use is for undereye circles. The major downside is the very limited color selection, only 3 last time I checked.

I got this as a BOGO item so I didn't expect very much from it when I first tried it, but it honestly works very well. It is quite heavy, so I apply it with a brush and the coverage is very even and smooth. The is a little caking, but nothing to serious or noticeable. I've also been using it a week and haven't noticed any breakout or irritation

I got this concealer @ Ulta for $8.00. I purchased the Light/Medium shade which is a great match for me shade and tonewise.
COVERAGE: Average. Ulta considers this concealer to be professional grade but it lacks good cover for dark circles. I needed about three layers to somewhat get medicore coverage.
TEXTURE: Amazing. Smooth, creamy with great slip. Easy to apply even without an eye moisturizer.
COLOR SELECTION: Poor. Even though I found a good match there are no ideal shades for tanned or dark skintones.
FINISH: Nice. I'm very pleased with the finish. I found that this layered very well (even layering up to four times). This doesn't crease nor does it settle into fine lines. I find that this is very emollient and doesn't get cakey and looks natural on the skin. I would suggest using a setting powder with this due to being moisturizing.
STAYING POWER: Poor. This conclealer lasted about 3 hours before it started to fade away. I foresee this being a problem in the summer with sliding off.
PACKAGING: Nice. This concealer comes in a cute small sleek black square compact with a mirror.
Overall, I would not repurchase this due to not having good cover & staying power.

I LOVE IT!!!
It conceals all of my blemishes, and makes my skin feel and look great. It's very light feeling, and it hides almost all of my imperfections. I will definitely buy more! This is the best concealer I've ever used.

Eh, for a concealer it didn't conceal all that great...
Lid wont shut completely anymore...

"Light" is still too dark for my skintone.


Not giving it a terrible rating, only because I use it as a primer for my eyes and lips...It works great for that.

My favorite concealer was MACs studio fix in the pot.I used to go tanning but Im trying to give it up so as I am going back to my light skin I needed a new concealer.I got the MAC one in NW20 but was to light so I went to Ulta and this concealer caught my eye.I liked the package it came in and how it comes with a mirror.This consistency felt creamy but not greasey.I tried it on at the store and liked it.For only 12.50 I decided to give it a try and I really do like this concealer.It does crease a bit but not like other concealers I have used.I got this in light and its the perfect color for me.I use this only under my eyes(I hate dark circles)and it does a pretty good job at hiding them.I am not sure if I prefer this or the MAC one but once my tan is totally gone I will probably go back to the studio fix.
This is a great steal though

I have oily skin but with dryness - and some wrinkles - under the eyes. This nice little concealer, which comes in a small square compact with a mirror, is a terrific consistency...not too creamy, but not heavy and cakey. Doesn't settle in my lines and doesn't highlight my wrinkles! I chose light, which is just light enough to brighten my eye area but not give me the raccoon look. Just a touch patted in covers nicely, and it stays all day. I bought mine some time ago and can't remember the price, but I'd definitely buy it again. It's really terrific!

I went to Ulta to find a great undereye and blemish concealer. This is $12 and comes in a little compact with mirror. It's described as professional and a makeup artist's quality concealer. Comes in three shades and I chose light. It is creamy and light weight, longwearing. Pretty easy to apply and blend. It says it has a soft, luminous finish and a moisture rich formula to prevent caking dryness. It works! I love it so far. Pat it on the undereyes and blemishes, it covers without any lines or drawing attention.
