I liked this at first, then a few weeks later it was all patchy and noticable on my skin :( No, didn't change my skin routine.

I like it...it's my favorite "cheap" concealer right now. I always keep a couple around in case I run out or lose one. I have good skin but horrible dark under eye circles (they're more red-purple than blue). I work crazy hours and don't get enough sleep, I have allergies, and I have a hereditary predisposition for circles. That said, this is good stuff. It covers well but doesn't show up. It just makes me look like I've actually slept a little. I've never had trouble with it drying my skin out, myself; it seems pretty moisturizing to me. It seems to last pretty well too - I might touch up once halfway through my 8 hours at work. I like how natural it looks and I like pot concealers. My biggest issue with it is the possible questionable ingredients; I'm trying to use more natural stuff. If you need a good cheaper concealer this is definitely a good option.

Hey guys! I’ve tried so many concealers/correctors to cover my dark circles but it’s so hard to find one that won’t crease or settle into my fine lines. Grrrrr!! I usually wear Mac’s Pro Longwear Concealer in NC 30 but was looking for a drugstore alternative and came across this this product and thought I’d give it a go and I love it!!

Texture & Finish:

The corrector has a creamy texture but isn’t too thick and feels light on the skin. It glides on and blends effortlessly leaving a hydrated and bright appearance.

Best Application:

Before applying the product, grab your favorite eye cream and MOISTURIZE! Let that eye cream sink in for a of couple minutes, then you can get started with the application. I get the best coverage and most natural look by dabbing the concealer/corrector onto my skin with my ring finger and blending it out. I blend it out half way with my finger and finish blending it out using a damp beautybender sponge in a bouncing motion. After the concealer is completely blended out, I use the same beautyblender and dab on some a thin layer of setting powder. I find that if I do not set this concealer with a powder, it will crease.

Coverage:

This product is great if you’re looking for light to medium coverage. Although the product seems to be pretty pigmented, it won’t cover your dark circles if they are extremely dark. I have also used the concealer in light/medium to cover up minor imperfections and it covered redness and dark spots nicely.


Staying/Lasting Power:

I’ve worn this product for a 10-hour day and the coverage lasted throughout. I tried wearing this product without setting it with a powder and it creased within the hour. Worn with a setting powder, I didn’t experience any issues.

Fragrance:

This product doesn’t seem to have much of a scent.

Packaging:

The product comes in a small plastic container that isn’t too bulky so it is ideal for travelling. However, once you open the product, the lid doesn’t seem to have an airtight closure. I’ve only had this product for about a month and the product seems fine but there might be an issue of the product drying out over time.

MY FINAL VERDICT

The Good:

The concealer/corrector has great lasting power and coverage without looking heavy or cakey when applied correctly. It brightens beautifully which give you that “well-rested” appearance

The Bad:

The concealer/corrector isn’t full coverage so it doesn’t cover extremely dark circles. Even though it is hydrating when you first apply it, throughout the day it seems to dry up on the skin a little bit. If you have extremely dry under eyes, this product may not be the best choice for you. Also, for a drugstore product, it’s a little pricey.

The Beautiful Truth:

I would recommend this product to everyone with normal, combo, or oily skin. Even if you have these skin types, you still need to moisturize well because throughout the day this product seems to dry the skin a little bit. If you have extremely dry skin, you should steer clear of this product—it WILL make you look hydrated upon initial application HOWEVER after a couple of hours, your under eyes will most likely appear flakey. My skin is combo-oily and my under eyes are a tiny bit dry, but when I moisturize with Clinique’s All About Eyes Rich eye cream, this corrector looks great on my skin and doesn’t flake or look dry.

Even thought it is a little pricey for a drugstore product, I would still repurchase since it because it does a good job covering my dark circles without settling into my fine lines and doesn’t crease.

Love this concealer, applies smoothly and feels hydrating to my under-eyes, VERY brightening.

The coverage is almost perfect (when used on under-eyes).

I use with a translucent powder and it does not settle into under eyes for at least two or three hours, I would highly recommend using with a primer.

Stays on all day.

***Would not recommend on blemishes.

I used to use the Old Version of Revlon Age Defying Concealer (in a reed tube.), the only issue is that it is discontinued. It was a concealer that I could use on blemishes and under my eyes. It was beautiful.
So I have been searching high and low for a replacement, trying both high end and low end. Unfortunately my skin is very sensitive and there are a lot of products I cant use for various reasons. (breakouts/dryness/oily-ness etc.)
When I first used this, I literally took a deep breath and said "Finally."
It does run a little light so even though I am about an NC-15, I use the color Light-Medium. I can use this on my blemishes, acne scars and under my eyes. It has a wonderful "second-skin" like texture and takes very little effort to apply and blend. I have only tested it through 8 hours, but I am sure it would last as long as I need it to. Even through sweating and heat. It set and didn't fade or move. It never got cakey or settled into creases. And it hasn't broken my out.
I will be repurchasing.

Didn't like it. Was nice to apply but it creased and settled into fine lines. I know that concealers tend to wear longer when primed or set but there are other cheaper concealers which do the job without those things, so this didn't cut it for me. Not sure about how it does on blemishes, and not sure about the packaging. Won't be repurchasing.

I really like the creamy texture of this concealer. It's definitely on the yellow side for my cool toned skin, but this is no surprise since it's mainy for undereye circles. This works pretty good on the blue under my eyes! It also covers blemishes and hyperpigmentation really well! It's my go-to concealer; it's nice to wear under my foundation so it isn't as noticeable. Just don't get a color that's too light! I'm almost done with it and have started using the Almay clear complexion blemish healing spot concealer (which also has great coverage) since it has salicylic acid in it, but I'll repurchase this for under my eyes. The packaging doesn't bother me and I've used it daily for about 7 months!

Terrivle, terrible concealer. I bought this thinking the anti aging part would not accentuate fine lines or get cakey because anti aging stuff tends to be more mousturizing.

-this gets so cakey and applies cakey
-it's pricey for a drugstore concealer
-no matter where i put it, it settles into fine lines and accentuates pores and dry skin
-shade range sucks, most are too pink

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone

I really wanted to like this product. I find that it applies smoothly with really nice full coverage, but within a short amount of time it appears dried out and cakey. It also emphasizes the fine lines under my eyes, even if I just dot on a very small amount. I tried to use this instead to cover spots and blemishes, but found that it was so dry that it only made the spots stand out more and look flaky. This was expensive for a drug store concealer and definitely a disappointment.

Not a fan, which is disappointing considering I LOVE the Simply Ageless foundation. I usually use concealer under my eyes to mask dark circles and this made the area look cakey and wrinkly and very dried out. Not a good look for someone looking to hide wrinkles or fines lines. There are definitely concealers I will use over this for that purpose but this would be ok for other areas that might need concealing, like age spots or blemishes.

How does one go about looking for a new under eye concealer? Go to Makeupalley of course. Based on a brand that has been tried and tested, amount of reviews and purchase again votes I decided to try this drug store concealer. I've been using Bobbi Brown Corrector and theBalm concealer for years. When used with the BB Corrector, works great! But even without it, was what impressed me.

I have stubborn, heriditary dark circles and concealer is a must! I was hesitant -a drug store concealer with no samples- (I'm so used to Sephora) I thought would be a for sure return. I have it in the color light/medium. I always go with concealers that are lighter than my skin tone to cover the darkness under my eyes. Would this be yellow base or pink, too light? This is my go to concealer and just blends effortlessly. Just one swipe and tap tap under my eyes. I use this with my Stila Illuminating Foundation powder and Benefits Eye Bright to conceal even more shadows.

All claims have proved true for me. From the Olay site...
This creamy formula covers imperfections, conceals under-eye circles, and visibly brightens skin. Like all Simply Ageless makeup, it's made with Olay Regenerist Serum, so it stays suspended over fine lines and wrinkles, for younger, firmer-looking skin
Transforms from solid to liquid on contact with skin, evens skin tone, brightens skin under eyes for a more wide-awake look.

The price is about $10-12 but you got such large amount. This is a bargain. Love!
For reference I am C4ish, yellow tone, warm skin tone.

I was cleaning my "stash" the other day, and found 2 Simply Ageless within. I remembered buying it when it first came out, test/play with it & didn't care/think much about it.
I had to open & look at it one more time, OMG, it shrank into the shape of suppository, no kidding.
If you like it, use it fast, the container is not air-tight.
Silicone is volatile, and if only the colour matching & texture is good enough, I can overlooked that, but it isn't.

This is my favorite concealer!!!! I don't use it for my undereyes but this is perfect for blemishes and redness. It is creamy and smooth. I apply this concealer and buff a mineral foundation over it and it looks flawless. It makes a great base because powders seem to stick to it really well. The colors are pretty good for a drugstore (not too pink).

After reading reviews I bought it only to realize that most colors run a bit pink, so I got one in corrective. But while trying to cover my acne, it accentuates dryness that I did not know is there. So I returned it and got my now HG hard Candy glamoflauge.

I really like this concealer! I was very skeptical at first because I had not found an actual working concealer for me since I started wearing makeup. The consistency of this is so creamy and light. When I put it on it actually conceals my blemishes, dark marks, and under eyes perfectly without adding a highlight affect, which is great because I prefer to add all my highlighting after. I took someone's advice and purchased the 'Light' one, instead of the 'Very Light' because I read that the swirls of Olay moisturizer lightened the product, just as adding moisturizer to your foundation would. It was a bit on the pricey side, but I got $5 dollars off with a coupon and I think it really made it worth it especially with the amount of product you get. I would still purchase it at full price because it matches my skin tone, it's light and creamy, and it's way cheaper than department store brands. (:

I LOOOOOOOOVE this product. I got this in the "corrector" shade, although it is very yellow. The rest of the shade range tends to be more on the pink side, so I think the naming convention is a little off, but I digress...

This product is truly amazing. So very pigmented and moisturizing. I use this as an all-over concealer and I've never broken out from it. It covers redness nicely and brightens the undereye area with ease.

Lasts just about all day too. I'm so glad I got this. Definitely will be a staple in my collex from this point on.

Well, all those positive reviews were right. This concealer really is extraordinary for a drugstore product, and it can easily run against many expensive high end concealers. Not to mention that at 0.30 oz, the Simply Ageless Concealer boasts a lot of creamy product for half the price of so many high end concealers.

Now, I am extremely pale. I guess the best way to describe my skin tone is Fair with Slight Yellow Undertone - which is Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Shade 2.0. I also wear MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC15 beautifully. My exact shade in CoverGirl Tone Rehab Foundation is Classic Ivory. So you get the point.

One of the reviews here mentioned that because of the white swirls, it's best to buy a shade darker than you would normally buy. Now, I would probably do fine with Very Light 205. However, it really is too light even for my ghostly fair skin. So I bought both Very Light 205 as well as Light 210. Light 210 was perfect. I could have used Very Light easily, except it matched my skin so well that it didn't actually conceal. I know that sounds weird, but it looked like I hadn't even applied concealer, and my dark circles, old acne scars, and redness were still highly visible. Which was how I knew I had bought the wrong shade. A concealer needs to actually conceal, and if you buy a shade too light, it's going to look weird, like the color had vanished into your skin.

Now, about the formula: Normally I prefer organic or natural products, but those are almost impossible to find in drugstores. So the next best thing for me would be makeup that offers skin-nourishing ingredients, like peptides and vitamins and minerals that help skin stay smooth, soft, bright, and youthful. I may only be in my early 30s, but thanks to a decade of proper skin care I still look 20. And so I want makeup that keeps up with that. CoverGirl Simply Ageless Concealer does that. It does not settle into fine lines, it does not fade, and it really does make my skin look smoother and brighter! So of course I am very happy. It's creamy without being too thick, and I can cover my whole face with just a few swipes. I love the CoverGirl Tone Rehab Foundation for its wonderful creamy coverage, but the Simply Ageless Concealer is easier to carry in my purse, heh.

Honestly, my only complaints were because I do wish it had fuller coverage and more color options. It really is not as good as some of my organic concealers or some of my high end concealers, but it is up there, especially for the price. I'd rather pay $12 for .30 oz than, say $32 for .17 oz, if you know what I mean.

i am one who is very experienced in the concealer dept. and i LOVE this stuff... For dark circles only since I don't use any other type of cover up or foundations for my face... I've been so used to using only expensive opaque concealers to conceal my terrible under eye area (MUFE full cover/Mac pro long wear/amazing cosmetics) but now it's safe to say that I can use this drugstore stuff even on my "off days". It's that good. i dont think it's even opaque as the ones i mentioned above but for some weird reason it covers up my dark under eye area and makes me look awake!!! This doesn't settle into fine lines. There's a specific way I apply my concealer though: I use any concealer brush to apply about two layers of this stuff on, dab with a makeup sponge until it is nice and smooth for an airbrush effect (beauty blender is fine also), then set w/ maybelline dream matte powder (hg stuff never cakes!). It works so well. I hated paying $10 for this stuff but there is a lot of product and i would definitely repurchase!
