Save your $3. This concealer is crap. It's too oily (even for my dry skin) and doesn't cover well.

I got mad at it and ordered the organic, all natural concealer from Ecco Bella off amazon just before writing this review.

I love most e.l.f. products but this one just falls flat.

I don't like stick concealers because it it so so so endlessly difficult to get even coverage with them and if they're not soft enough they drag against your skin and just. ugh stick concealers. so we weren't off to a great start anyway. but I needed a concealer and I couldn't find the elf one I wanted and the only other concealers available were offered in shades certainly too dark for me (beige/light beige). so ivory stick concealer it was. TERRIBLE DECISION. I haven't even worn this product out because it is so ridiculously orange on my skin. if you're extremely fair, don't bother.

I don`t know what to think about this concealer. It is a bit hard, but will soften if I warm it between my fingers. It is a bit cakey on the skin and hard to blend. If you blend too much, it seems to disappear. If I manage to get it on right, it doesn`t last long even if I set it with powder. It seems incompatible with some foundations and primers and stays on my finger instead of sticking on my face. It is too thick for under the eye. Odd product.

I am so disappointed in this! I love E.L.F. and thought the packing for this was so sleek and that it'd be a quality product to keep in my purse for on the go spot coverage. Oh, I was so wrong! I got the beige and it is way too light. The texture is really hard so I have to put my finger on the concealer and then dab it on my face. As soon as I try to blend it in, it turns white and chalky and then completely just rubs off! Do not purchase this. It's a waste of $3. Does not do ANYTHING.

I guess you get what you pay for sometimes cheap stuff is cheap for a reason. I just bought this today and the concealer fell out of the tube so i put it back in the tube and now its loose..grrr!!. There isnt a lot of product either its pretty small. This was $3 which to me $3 is $3 that couldve been toward something better. I got this concealer because they didnt have the maximum coverage concealer so i figured what the heck this might be good too and was in a hurry so i didnt have time to read reviews on it and just bought it anyway. I got the shade ivory which def is not it is more pink. I kept this on for a few hours and it looked awful and streaky I will not repurchase this ever again! Ladies save your $3 and put it toward something better. i am not impressed with this product at all.


Update: i found a use for this and it makes a good nude lipstick if u put some chapstick first than a gloss over it haaha wow

Wow what were they thinking? I needed an emergency concealer for a blemish starting to form and figured this would be fine. I got it in the shade Ivory. Okay. This is not Ivory. It is straight up PINK! Seriously. I tried to give it a shot anyway and it was very obvious and still pink on my skin. Not pigmented at all. Not creamy. It's going back to wal mart.

Mediocre at best. Love the Elf studio line - especially the bronzers - but this does little and barely lasts. Skip it and save our $3.

I have been layed-off for quite awhile now, so I have been looking for less expensive alternatives for a few products, as I know I am going to flip out when I run out of them. One of these was Dermablend's Quick Fix concealer in the shade "Tan." I love this product, it extensively covered all my under eye circles without looking cakey, and practically disappears into the rest of my skin. I stumbled across this Concealer and found it in the shade "Honey," which was the exact same hue as the Dermablend product but just a shade lighter (which I need as my tan is faded). So I bought it for 3 measly dollars, and came home and tried it out and LOVED it.
I think the packaging is very simple, classic, and not tacky and cheap like most drugstore products tend to look. I apply it directly under my eyes, and unlike a few other reviewers I found on here, I find it extremely moist and creamy, it doesn't tug at my under eye area.
I blend it with a fluffy concealer brush and it smooths out beautifully with some minor creasing.
No weird smells, no irritation, no drying. It's a really good product. I may remind you that if your purchase your cosmetics at dollar stores which don't rotate their product very often, it is possible the product is just old....

This is horrible. Really really horrible. I chose the shade 'Beige' which is a really orangey color with rosy undertones as opposed to the yellow undertones a 'beige' colored product usually has. This is also a nightmare to apply - it is hard as a rock and dragging it along under my eyes trying to get some product on just plain hurt. The color is awful, the texture is awful and the coverage isn't so hot either. It's not even one of those products that's 'worth trying because it's only 3 bucks' because it's totally useless.

I have 5 of these all in the same color, i have mixed feelings about this because 1) its a great product, covers well and stays put. however 2) the packaging SUX!!! Like i said i have 5 of these and each n everyone broke rite off, and the cap doesnt stay on. One opened in my makeup bag and ruined it :( so, since i have 5 of these i'll be using it for a while. I mite melt them down and put then in a pot, but i would not re-buy...

Do not let the picture fool, it is much smaller than shown in the photo When I first used this product the stick was broken. The packing is very cheap. The texture of the of the concealer is very poor compare to other concealers i used. Another thing about the product that gets on my nerves with severals lower-end make-up it does not come in many different colors because they know the concealer sucks. KEEP YOUR $3 IN YOUR POCKET OR SAVE IT FOR A BETTER CONCEALER.

Unfortunately, this is being returned to ELF, with a letter of complaint. $3 or nah. Here's why: 1. Concealer stick product broke away from base, the first time that I used it. 2. Concealer itself is oily and slippery and gave me a red rash. 3. Lid does not close properly. I don't care how eager ELF may be for their production of MAC dupes, I simply wish they would come up with reliable, functioning products. Just as well I purchased the Concealer/Highlighter from ELF in the same order, otherwise I'd have been out of concealer for a special event. Shipping also took...what seemed like forever. Go back to the drawing board ELF-you can do better.

I really like the color on this I can wear Ivory under my eyes without covering it with another color. It's only a medium density and it pretty buildable. The longevity is moderate. It lasts though most of the day and doesn' wear off it patches and lool funny. I've only used this for a week, so I will update as I use it more.

My honest opinion: this concealer is terrible. You don't get much product (the picture led me to believe it was a lot bigger). I do not find this product creamy in the slightest (it's drying and hard as a rock, and takes ages to warm up on your fingers), and it's difficult to blend and get coverage because of that. It feels like I'm drawing on my face with a crayon, and really tugs under your eyes. I've tried applying with my fingers, a concealer brush, and a fluffy brush - nothing works. I am not new to concealer and have used plenty of great ones. Also, the stick broke off from its base the second time I used it, or maybe it was broken all along, not sure. The lid falls off constantly, which means I keep randomly finding the lid and the broken stick of concealer laying in my make up case, which is definitely not sanitary. Pros are that the colour is a good match and the packaging is cute (when the lid stays on) but that's about it. It's okay for spot blemishes on your face but definitely not the undereyes (rough and limited coverage; also some settling into fine lines you didn't even know you had). I think your 3 dollars are better spent elsewhere. Maybe I got a bad one, but I've read similar reviews on the eyeslipsface website. Seems to be a hit or miss. Maybe some are old or dried out or something (despite this being a new product).

This is a new Studio concealer that really works for dark circles. Mine are very dark due to insomnia. Mineral concealers do not work because they show my flaws and age, and liquid concealers are too dry.


This is a cream based concealer that is slightly wet when you first apply it. The consistency and coverage is great, and it it does not settle in my lines. It leaves a very soft finish under my eyes, provides about 90% coverage, and it's long lasting. I chose 'Ivory' which is the lightest color. This is a perfect color match for me as e.l.f. colors tend to be darker than is shown on the website and usually turn orange. I only applied this on my dark circles and no where else on my face. Not sure if this will cause breakouts.


Beware ~ the lid does not stay on this tube. Also, the concealer is very creamy and will probably break easily, which could be a problem with a defective lid. Hopefully, e.l.f. will remedy the situation. I like this concealer and will buy this again...
