Bit disappointed with this. I got it in medium. Too pinky/peachy for my medium olive skin. I expect better from a brand like MF. Will stick to Boots no.17 which is cheap and great natural colours.

Edited to say - Ok, i'm kind of slinking back on this as i've given it a few more tries and found it better. The colour still looks totally unnatural against my skin at first but as I blend it, it seems to match up. Quite a thick feeling to the texture but it is very long-lasting which is good. If the colours were as good as L'Oreal or Boots own i'd really love it.

This stuff is way to greasy and pink for my skin. Doesnt really do anything for covering blemishes, I was really hoping to like it but no luck.

I was afraid Medium would be too dark so I bought this in Natural. I use it to cover up occasional redness. It's lighter than my skin color but after blending it's actually a good color match. I apply a bit of Nars loose powder after I finish the rest of my make-up and you can't tell where I have it on. It's blendable but not really greasy and it hasn't irritated my skin after a few weeks of use like dry mineral powder concealers frequently do. If you're prone to break outs or have oily skin you might want to skip this.

I decided to try this from Style.com's list of 5 great concealers, and that I like Max Factor's products in general. I bought the Medium shade. I wasn't too pleased with how greasy this concealer was, although it helped with concealing my under eye circles and few blemishes. I expected a lot from this product, I guess! Still on the search for a great undereye concealer that does not crease and provides great coverage!

This concealer in the shade Natural is the only one I have found that covers my dark bluish, purple underye circles. I'm NC20 and the peach tone of this covers my circles beautifully. The only problem is that it doesn't always stay on all day, but it is very humid where I live. So I guess that is why I stray from this concealer so I can find one with better staying power, but I haven't found any that work as well. I've tried MUFE lift concealer, Lancome Effacernes, etc. and none of them cover as well as this one.

Wow, who would have thought that this drugstore brand concealer would cover better than so many of my high end ones? I have this in Natural and it is pretty much a perfect match. I have stocked up. This concealer covers my inherited dark blueish undereye circles very well. Amazing stuff and obviously overlooked by many people. I have tried so many concealers to cover my undereye circles and this is one of the ones I like best! The others are ColorTration, Mary Kay Signature, Becca, Prescriptives Flawless, and MAC Select Corrector in Peach. Try this!

I got this in medium shade, and it is way too orange! Maybe good for people with fake tans, but not on my skin. The concealer fades fast and makes the skin worse than it was before. Also, it causes breakouts. It glides on a bit thick, and tends to clump around blemishes. The packaging is a cheap plastic tube, like the tubes holding cheap lipsticks in 99 cent stores. The clear plastic case on the outside cracks easily.

I've been using this as an under-eye concealer for years. I've tried many concealers and I always come back to Erace. I use the color Natural, it works perfectly with my olive complexion. It blends easily and stays put all day. I've never used it for anything but under-eye circles though.

I didn't like it and won't repurchase it. I have in natural color which is not suit for my fair skin for lightening my under eye area. I used it only twice. I also didn't like the smell of it, not refreshing. It creases and makes my under eye area looking wrinkle. I don't have acne problem so i didn't use it for coverage, i don't know if it's good for that

Fantastic product! I was a bit wary about paying so much (ten dollars!) for such a small stick of concealer, but that small stick has lasted me for ten months. This has great coverage and the 'fair' shade matches my skin perfectly. Before applying, I always moisturize well because it does have a tendency to cake.

I've been using this under my eyes for years. It's a thick concealer that provides a lot of coverage. Can get caky if you use it on the rest of your face, though. Great for a drugstore concealer, and you can't beat the price. Packaging isn't terrific - the tube tends to crack after you've had it a while - but it's still functional.

This product is really heavy, though nice and smooth. I agree that the color is too peachy, almost a light orange. Yuck.. I also don't like the smell. This stuff will do in a pinch, but I'm not repurchasing.

Okay. Slightly too orangey/peachy for my complexion (PPP-MMM, golden/olive), but it blends in okay. Not the best coverage since it gets cakey when you try to layer it on a problem area (blemish, etc.) Nothing to rave about. Staying power is okay, better than the Physician's Formula stick I was using before, but not good on particularly oily areas (like my forehead). Only bought this b/c it was on sale. Will not buy again since I'm looking for something great. This was just okay.

this is a fairly good concealer for undereye circles. my favorite thing about this is how creamy it is...it just slips right onto ur skin w/o looking cakey and nasty. coverage is okay...nothing great, however. i prefer my L'Oreal Airwear Brightner...if only they could make Airwear w/ this texture i'd be as happy as ever.

A big NO for this one.First off,it creases so bad that the very few fine lines around my eyes become visible like I cover them with mud or something! The texture is the worst,soooo hard to apply to get an even look because this product is thick!You wanna hear more? well the packaging is the worst.I use my stuff very gently,I don't drop them or carry them in 'crowded' make up bags/draws or anything BUT this concealer cracked in the first week,then cracked again in the second,the letters on the package totally disappeared in the third and in the end I end up with a total junk.I say stay away!

this is a pretty good concealer - goes on really smooth and blends really well. i wear it almost every day for my under-eye circles. it's great for normal weather but you need to watch out if you wear it when it's hot out or when you sweat. i wore it once for an outdoor wedding (it was 100 degrees!) and my concealer started to get all oily and nasty - i had to wipe it off.

I love this. This is by far the best d/s concealer i have ever tried. Ive been using this one since i was like 14 years old and i dont know why i even bothered trying others. I dont anymore. This is cheap and awesome for my pale skin. I use natural all year long. when i have a tan i dont use concealer so it doesnt matter. I also have rosacea and it covers it PERFECTLY. You can see no red. Noone believes i have rosacea. I also have dry skin and this doesnt dry it out (or make me greasy!). AWESOME!!!! The only thing is it that there is a lot of product left behind in the tube but for the price (less than 5 dollars) who cares! :D
