I saw this concelar at winco for like 1.30 so I had to try it out for that cheap!
I like the stick, when I put it on under my eyes it make them look brighter and bigger! And itssuper easy to blend
When it started to run low I was putting it on one day and it all came off the stick in one clump.
But besides that I love it and definatly am going to buy it again!

I have quite a few of these in my collection, and honestly I keep going back to it out of all the concealers I own. I think the price is the best part, I love finding products that are decent, for amazingly affordable prices. I have no issues with the packaging, the only negative thing I have to say is once the "stick" gets lower it gets harder to get product. But honestly, i'd probably just pitch it, and buy another cause whats the point going through all that hassle for $2? I use the medium, and im a NC40-45 in MAC, and it works perfectly for me. I use a concealer brush with this to blend it out once it going onto my skin. I don't really notice how long it "wears" cause it seems to last all day on my with my foundation & setting powder. I'll definitely keep repurchasing.

This product is pretty good for the money. I use it to cover up my acne scars and redness mostly. One of my friends swears by this stuff, and that's why I decided to try it out. I like it, but I don't use it very often (I really only wear face makeup when I'm going to a special occasion). It's pretty smooth and blends easily if you tap it lightly with your ring finger. There is some settling into pores, but if you use a foundation or powder over it, it's not noticeable. For the money, why not?

This was only $2 CAD(walmart) I never find things this cheap in Canada. I find it's kind of light, but there weren't really any colours that match my skin tone that well. I know you're supposed to melt it on your hand then apply it to your face, but I just can't get it to 'melt'. When I apply it to my face and smooth it with my fingers, it looks really chalky. I still however managed to cover up redness. The packaging is cheap, I was hoping that it would retract, and since it didn't I have a few dents on the side from the lid, and the edges have a little product on it. The cover stick is great for undereye circles, and if you put some foundation over it, it looks great.

I have quite a bit of acne scarring that I try my best to cover up. I wanted to stop wearing foundation completely, to see if it would help my face to not break out. So I've just been using this NYC coverstick & then my face powder. This coverstick gives medium coverage, & then my powder (Physician's Formula pressed powder) also provides great coverage. Now that I'm not using foundation, I look a lot more natural. My face feels healthier without foundation on it.
So this coverstick does work well, & I'll be repurchasing today.

I melted it a bit and put it in an old lip gloss jar. It is better melted down. I use this under my eyes and for tiny blemishes. I will repurchase!!!


EDIT: It's greasy and it creases. Will not repurchase.

I actually really liked this concealer. I really don't need a whole lot of coverage, so this worked out great. It matched my skin tone really well, and blended in nicely. It is perfect for covering up my under-eye circles. I love the price more than anything, though. I thought it was a fantastic deal.

This just didn't work for me. It didn't blend well but it did last and provided light - medium coverage. I don't like stick concealers but I decided to get this because it was soo cheap (around 2 dollars). I experimented a lot with this product but i just don't like it. The packaging looks cute, its small, I love that. Not much to say. I think its worth a try, considering the price. It either you love it or hate it.

After a few hours, it tends to seep into every pore and the rest disappears. It cases a really weird look - I don't use it for an all over thing anymore, mostly for just spots and set a foundation over it.

for less than $2 this could be worse,but it's still not great.on the plus side it really is nice and creamy and blends very well.unfortunately it doesn't provide near enough coverage or staying power.also,this is th darkest shade and i still find it too pale for my NC 30 skin.it's tolerable for undereyes,and doesn't settle into creases too badly but is pretty much useless for zits/hyperpigmentation.
i have found,however,that it's great in a recipe for homemade eye primer that calls for equal parts concealer and a heavy moisturizing cream.i used my stick to make a pot of this which keeps my shadows on forever and improves their application.

I bought this from CVS on sale for $1.50, a fantastic deal. It melts very easily, it was a hot day and it started getting beads of moisture immediately once I stepped outside. I don't really like its packaging, too loose; it snapped right at the base once I started applying it. However it blends extremely well and while it doesn't do very well for my dark circles, it's great at covering up acne scars and hyperpigmentation.

I love love love this concealer! <3 Many people complain about it but they either haven't prepped their skin right and/or are applying/blending it in wrong.

Moisturizing before-hand is a MUST. It makes the concealer go on much smoother, so no dragging on the skin whatsoever. You don't need to slap on a whole lot of moisturizer. Just a light coat so that when you gently swipe a finger over it, it feels a tad moist and super soft. Next, roll on the concealer. You don't need much. And then blend with your finger. It's that easy. Make sure your finger is slightly moisturized so the concealer doesn't rub off onto it. And if any do get onto the finger, what I like to do is run my finger down the bridge of my nose. It'll highlight your nose a wee bit and you don't even have to waste any product! :D

Pros:
-Cheap
-Easily found in your local drugstore
-Lasts a very long time
-No need for concealer brush
-Quick and easy to apply
-Blends in to a range of skintones (worked for my mom and sister who have lighter skin tones)

Cons:
-Since it's in a lipstick form, if you're inexperienced, it'll snap. (Which is what happened to me, my first time D: )

This product isn't half bad. Of course i wouldn't compare this cover sitck to most cover ups. But it works pretty good for me. My dark Under eyes aren't even that noticable. Of course i do us Revlon ColorStay Foundation, which does most cover ups but it helps to reduce the dark-ness under my eyes. & I've read on the previous posts that ladies used this stick for a base on eyeshadows?...hmmm I'll probably experiment on that. But overall i would buy this stick again. $2? where could u go wrong?

Picked this up in Natural, based on the great reviews. Would I buy it again... uh, no! A big, fat, truckload of no. It's heavy, waxy, unacceptable for its stated purpose, and - to top it off - the one I got smells like poo.

I got this in a free in a little mini size in a powder that I had purchased. And let me just say; this works wonders! I am so impressed; that when I run out I'm definatly buying a full size one and some backups. I use this for under my eyes, and it really cancels out my dark circles, as well as almost brighten them up. This works great as an eyeshadow base. And for me; this concealer is not the least bit dry! It's actually very smooth and creamy for me; maybe new formula? I'm not sure; but for me this concealer has a very smooth consistency. Overally; I'm very pleased with this product. Will repurchase again!

This stuff is great my only gripe is that the darkest color I can find is medium, which is slightly lighter than I'd like it to be. But it does cover for the most part, goes on and blends nicely. For the price it's great, it came with a little sponge which I thought smelled awful so I threw it out, my concealer brush works much better.

FYI: I have never used this product as a concealer. I use this as a base for my eyeshadows.


I bought this as a base for my loose pigments, as I was not too fond of MAC's paintpots or paints (too heavy, IMO). I use this over my MAC Prep + Prime primer and then pat on my pigments with a stiff synthetic eyeshadow brush (I like the Ecotools eyeshading brush or a concealer brush). It works perfectly! It's not too sticky but it is tacky enough to hold the pigments, yet allow for blending. I have super oily eyelids, yet creasing has been minimal and no fallout. This product has made using pigments a breeze! When I use this as a base for my pressed eyeshadows, the colors show up much more vibrant and true to the pan (for this application, I use a fluffy e/s brush and press/ pat on the lid), with minimal creasing and no fallout.

And at less than $2, who can argue?

HG! Definitely! I bought this after I had some color issues with the 'Natural' color of this concealer, it was too light.
now I use that old concealer for an eye primer (which works perfectly btw)
I was thinking, should I buy a different brand or just stick with this? It was $2 so I knew I could try it without much regret.

I LOVE it! It's the perfect color and it's not cakey or dry, it just makes me look like I've always had good skin.
One of my friends thought that I didn't wear cover up on my face today but it looked good, and that's a good sign!

EDIT i still really like this concealer, but lately i havent been liking the staying power. it fades during the day, so knocking it down to 4 lippies! (it's still wonderful for eyeshadow primer)

I gave this three lippies because it's very silky and it will work great as an eyeshadow base, but as far as "concealing," I'm not impressed. Didn't even cover the light freckle I have under one eye.
