I was able to buy this in every color when milani was on sale at cvs and I guess it was going to be discontinued. My match is #2 and I like to use #1 to brighten. This was a perfect concealer to apply and it blended verry well. I dont see creases I usually have makeup on for 2 or 3 hours though. Now i buy this in ebay

This is an amazing product for the highlight/concealing trick under your eyes and in the center of the face. I use the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle rollerball right after I get out of the shower and then with this on top, it gives amazing coverage on my undereyes and also adds the sculpted, highlighted look. With this as a highlighter and a great contour color, you have the perfect sculpted face.

I am NC40-42 and the darkest one 04 is a good match.My undereye area is a bit darker than the rest of my face so I always need a bit of concealer there. A little goes a long way with this stuff and it does conceal and brighten pretty well but I can't compare it to other "eye brightening" concealers because I haven't tried others. I just dab a bit onto my undereye area and pat it with the flat Ecotools concealer brush. It looks really good at first but after a couple of hours, this really settles into lines that I didn't even know I have and it looks like it separated a bit. Because of that I would not repurchase. The first time I used this, I also had to click it like 40 times to get any product to come out. lol That was frustrating but after that, it only took 3-4 clicks. It seems to be a common problem based on what I'm reading here.

HG. I Love this! <3 I had the garnier bb eye roll on (basically the asian version of the garnier anti-dark circle eye roller) and I find it too light for my nc35 skin I look like Kim Kardashian with it! I would love it if they had in a darker shade but unfortunately, they dont.

So, I went on cherry culture and found this. Did a google search and read some reviews and decided I wnted it. I was actually contemplating on which shade to get, it was either medium beige (03) or golden medium (04). I thought medium beige didnt have that much yellow in it and I was afraid that it'd be too light and look unnatural without makeup like the garnier one so I bought number 04. The shade is dead on!

I first swatched it on my arm and it looked ridiculously yellow I was shocked. But once I dab it onto my undereyes it went on perfectly I look wide awake. Covers and lighten up the area perfectly it looks so natural I can wear this everyday even without foundation. Now, I dont have really dark under eye circles so u might have to consider that because this thing is quite light actually but I find this a lot thicker than the garnier which is kinda watery/lotiony.

I have to admit though, it does settle into my fine lines a bit but then I don't think I've found anything that doesnt. It doesn't look horrible though. Set it with powder and you'll be fine.

I'm a little disappointed though how I can only get this online and how it is not readily available here where I live in Malaysia. It is kinda expensive when u consider the product amount (0.045 fl oz, the garnier has about roughly 12 times the amount and is also cheaper) plus the shipping :(

So actually, this is only about half the price of the YSL touche eclat since the touche eclat has about 3 times the amount. Did my math.

I got this as a gift from a friend. I like the click feature it has even if it take a few clicks. I use it only under my eyes. In beige it goes well and isn't too dark like most beige concealers. Have to continue using to see if it does any damage to my skin (AKA acne)

This product is actually quite good. It comes in expensive feeling click-up packaging & the light shades are good for my NC20 skintone & dark circles. The pigmentation is pretty good and as a result, doesn't look cakey since you don't need to load it on. I like the pen format because I can throw it in my travel bag & it can take a beating. I hate it for application so I apply it to the back of my hand and then use my fingers. Overall, I like the product.
--------------------------------

PROS:

(1) Heavy feeling packaging. Does not feel like cheap plastic.
(2) Color matches are good for NC20.
01 is a light beige - ivory color good for face concealing.
02 is very pink & salmon colored so good for undereye darkness
(3) Good pigmentation (medium) so you don't need much product.
(4) Does not look cakey
(5) Click up pen great for throwing in travel bag & on-the-go application
--------------------------------

CONS:

(1) Click up pen format is not as sanitary.
(2) Takes a long time (tons of clicking) for the product to come out initially. Then just two clicks & it's fine.
(3) Pen/brush tip makes the product go on streaky so you have to tap and blend it out with your fingers.
(4) Lasting power isn't the greatest on this so make sure you set it with a good powder.

when the product hits the brush i clumps together making the product extremely streaky because of this you have to click way more times to build enough pressure to have it shoot out the tip so you can use it which helps loosen the brush.It does cover at all well and it goes on cakey.I had high hopes with the reviews on you tube but this stuff really is terrible and not worth the trouble it takes to get the product.
The clicking mechanism really doesn't function properly which i'm sure that i a large reason why this product doesn't work.

This is a really great concealer for me. The texture is smooth, creamy and easy to blend either with a brush or fingers. The pigmentation is very good-natural, good coverage but not to heavy. It does a good job concealing my undereye circles. Shade two is perfect for my NC25 skintone. It has a great peach undertone to it, which is rare to find in a drugstore concealer. Also, the peach undertone and shade two in general looks very similar on me as Bobbi Brown light peach corrector, its almost the same shade but light peach is a tad darker and of course the texture is different. It lasts all day on me and it creases only on this one small natural fold I have near my lower lash line, I don't have wrinkles. It doesn't crease at all if I set it with light powder afterwards. I also have shade one, which I use as a brow and cheekbone highlighter. Shade one is very pale, perfect for NC15 and lighter. It does not have a peach undertone and looks just very pale on me. I store this pen with a brush holder upside down and I haven't had the problem of unused product being stuck yet. I would imagine that if you always store it upside down it won't be a problem.

Scored this for 75% off at CVS. Was a little skeptical at first but I didn't have anything to lose at that price. It covers beautifully. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Nothing more nothing less. The clicky thing takes forever to disperse the product.

I love this, HG concealer finally! I have hereditary dark circles so concealer is my only respite from them. It takes a while for the product to start oozing out the tip when you first buy it but be persistent. 5+ minutes of clicking but it is worth it. Afterward, it is easy to control how much product oozes out and it is easy to apply onto the skin (remember to blend it out with your fingertips or a soft brush). I quite like the consistency and creasing is minimal so long as you apply it carefully. I recommend swiping a finger out from beneath the lashline where creasing tends to happen to move excess product out of the danger zone, Otherwise set with a bit of translucent powder and you won't have any problems. It lasts well and blends well into foundation or bare skin but best of all I think it provides a good amount of coverage. It could be more pigmented but I am not complaining, it does a fantastic job considering its somewhat thin, gel-like consistency.

I love the shade of this concealer so much. I got it in medium and it is a very peachy shade which i think brightens my under eye soooo much. It is light/medium coverage so it won't conceal heavy dark circles. I didn't find this watery at all as I read in the other reviews. I think its very creamy and doesn't cake or crease. Loving it so far!

This is a sheer concealer so if you have acne scars and blemishes like me, you would not like this stuff. First of all, it's kind of a hefty penny for drugstore. I think I got this for more than $10. I expected to be amazing, but it's not. I have oily skin so with this stuff I had to constantly reapply the product every 2 hours? It got quite annoying especially when I don't like to touch up my makeup during the day. It has a sheen that I like that i use as a highlighter but other than that it's not a good product for me.

This concealer does not conceal. What is the purpose of this? On a positive note, it doesn't cake up after applying 20 layers. The color medium is a dark peachy pink hue comparable to the MAC foundation shade of NW30.

This concealer offers light coverage for dark circles and blemishes, the formula is on the watery side and it will not cover very dark circles or dramatic blemishes, and the formula does not last very long, I would say 4-5 hours top. However the formula does not cake and rarely creases, not bad if you are looking for light coverage but definitely not your pick if you are looking for full coverage and thicker/creamier formula.

I guess if you just need some light coverage this would do the trick. The color was a nice match to my skin, but that's about all I liked about it. It didn't do anything to help my under eye circles and barely even covered the couple of slight discoloration spots on my face. I really haven't been able to find a real use for it in my makeup bag, but I'll keep trying to work it in somehow now that I have it.

I was a loyal YSL Touche Eclat / Radiant Touch user for many years but have tried to be more "thrifty" lately. Fortunately this is identical to YSL, honestly if you covered the logo I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, at all.
The shades, consistency, packing etc, all identical only the Milani is about 1/3 the cost. If there was a noticeable quality difference I would probably still splurge on the YSL but since there isn't, I don't have to. Yay!

I just bought my second tube today! I bought this because everyone raved about the YSL touche eclat but I didn't want to dish out that much money. I LOVE this product! It's light weight creamy and hides my under eye circles and some blemishes! It's a pain to get it jump started but after that I love it! I got the shade 01 light. I about died this morning when I realized I was out! I went to CVS immediatly to re purchase!

I bought it as a dupe for YSL Touch eclat. But not a big fab of this. I wanted to use this for my under eye as a concealer(I dint need full coverage) and brightener. It is not a bad concealer if you need light to medium coverage, but it does nothing to brighten my under eye area, and is also very drying. So, i tried putting extra moisturizer under my eye and applying it, it works OK. I still use it sometimes just coz I have it and dont want to waste it.
But YSL is rly good, one of my friends has it and uses it to highlight her under eye, area around tear duct and browbone, works wonders, just that she has to keep applying it every few hours.
