Let me start off by saying that I am the biggest Dior fan and have tried almost all of their skincare and makeup products.

I was on the lookout for a moisturizing under-eye concealer when I came across this product. It is moisturizing compared to the other concealers / eye brightening pens I've tried , namely MAC, Bobbi Brown, and YSL touche eclat.

Pros
- Moisturizes
- Medium coverage. Covers up dark undereye circles well
- Even though I have found that CD foundations are too dark for my NC20/NW20 skin, the concealer shade matches well.
- Lasts a really really really long time. I've had mine for about half a year.

Cons
- Does not last long
- While it doesn't crease very much or often, it can do so in the fine undereye lines. I'm in my 20s so I dont have noticible/prominent undereye circles, but the small laugh lines I do have, this product can crease into. But I can't help but think that the creasing has more to do with my application of the product rather than the product itself. I've also sometimes used this as an eyelid primer and it creases there too but since that isn't its purpose, I've overlooked it.

Verdict
- I'm still on the lookout for my HG undereye concealer that 1) moisturizes, 2) lasts a long time, 3) covers up dark undereye circles well, 4) and isn't prone to creasing.

This is the best undereye concealer I have ever used - perfect five lippies. No settling into fine lines, good coverage, easy to use and spread, very economical. HG, HG, HG. The end?

Not so fast. This sucker is very strongly perfumed: within a month I became allergic to it. After applying, my eyes started to sting, burn and became bright red and after that I couldn't use any Dior product without major irritation (had to eBay my Diorskin foundations and eyeshadows - minus 4 lippies for this. I had to throw out so much stuff it hurts).

Have been searching for a similar concealer high and low, haven't found one yet. Revlon Colorstay and Physician's Formula twin concealers are the best I've found, but both a lot heavier and more cakey.

I really like this product. I'm not a big fan of makeup, but this one came on very light and did its job! Also it lasts for a long time!

I've brought this Dior concealer because it was on promotion at The Bay but it definitely worth every penny I paid!!! Well it's not cheap but good things don't come cheap anyway right? Even though it won't cover up every little detail but generally the coverage is GREAT that gives me a NATURAL look, and it stays on too! If you are looking for a good concealer to invest, this one definitely a must have!

I can't live without this stuff.
It gives a great coverage, it's very light, and the shade is perfect (410).
It also stays on for a long time and it looks very natural.
the one problem I have is the packaging because you get too much product (and it's too expensive for that).

I have been using this product for more than a year, I recommend it to everyone. I use it not only as a under-eye concealer, but also I apply it to all my face and everyone keeps asking me what foundation I use. It is perfect.

Really great concealer! they just need to make more colours, i found that the lightest shade is a bit too light ( the 410) and the next one up was just a tad too dark! ( the 430) I think the darker one may be ok for when i get a touch of colour, as that is all i tend to get in the summer, but for winter, i may have to find a different concealer! This covers very well, doesnt get cakey, and goes on very smoothly. I actually found the price to be decent considering the amount you get is actually quite good. As for packaging, its a pretty standard tube, but much better than the wand variety, because you dont have to double dip, and contaminate your product, which reduces the longevity of the product. Anyways, so far my HG concealer, it does its job very well, they just need a shade or two more so it will be for a wider variety of skin tones!

I reviewed this under the heading "Hydrating Concealer" so I thought I'd add it here as well for searching purposes.

The full product name is Anticerne Perfecteur - Long Wearing Moisturizing Concealer. Happily, this product lives up to it's name by providing full, long lasting and moisturizing coverage. It's definately a more "heavy-duty" concealer than say Dior's SkinFlash - which is more of a luminator, and light concealer. I've been very pleased with the coverage on large, unruly blemishes, or areas that have broken out and need a wider area of coverage.
I purchased two different colours a few years ago - there is no shimmer that I have seen mentioned in other reviews. Perhaps the formula has changed a little. As you can see, this product lasts and lasts. A little really does go a long way!
I am very fair in the winter, so I use colour 410 Light Beige, and when I am tanned I use colour 520 Light Golden. The colours match very well with my skin tone, so when you blend them, and put your foundation over top, you cannot see the concealer. The coverage is excellent, allowing you to cover up blemishes, under eye circles etc, easily. I also like how it doesn't go "cakey". The tube itself is excellent, allowing for a precise and hygenic method of application. I generally put it on my finger or concealer brush and then apply to my face/body.
There is a fragrance to this concealer, which I find to be quite pleasant.
Final Verdict: A fantastic full coverage concealer - great for face and body (think lurker on your shoulder in a strapless dress - been there, hidden that! LOL)
Recommend: Highly. A must have for your makeup bag.

This is a great concealer. Brilliant for covering blemishes and evening out skintone. I use this every day under my foundation. I dont use it for dark under eye circles so I cant comment on the effectiveness for that! My skin is prone to flakiness during the winter, and using this doenst highlight dry areas. Packaging is good, but the lid on mine doesnt fit properly, and Im afraid that I'll open my makeup bag someday and my concealer will be all over it! (The problem with the lid could just be a fault with the particular concealer I bought and it definitely would not turn me off re-purchasing!)

Oh, how I love this product. I used to work for Dior at a department store for years, and even though I have mostly found cheaper substitutes for my higher-priced tastes, I have found nothing that replaces this concealer. I actually use it for foundation, as the color and texture are perfect. It usually lasts at least two months if I use it all over my face---so the price isn't too extravagant. I use #410, which is the perfect shade for my blotchy, fair skin. I have to agree with another MUAer's review, though, in that it is not the best BEST for covering undereye circles. It does a fair job, but I have noticed that with the addition of a new baby, I have been reaching for the MAC undereye concealer for my dark circles---it just covers better. But I can promise you I will use Dior's concealer as a foundation forever!

I bought this in 410 and I love it!! It's the only concealer that doesn't go on dry on my cheeks. It's a very hydrating formula that's very blendable. A little goes a looooong way so I reckon this tube will last me years!!!!

CD's Anticerne Perfecteur - Long-wearing moisturising concealer, is the best under eye concealer i have tried so far. It melts into my skin (after some blending) and it looks and feels great. You just need a little bit, however it doesn't cover dark circles completely, which is why it looks and feels natural instead of cakey. It is very moisturising, so it can look a bit shiny, but a little bit of powder sets it perfectly. I have the shade 410, which is yellow based. I will repurchase in a lighter shade next time, so it matches my pale skin better. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it stings if you get a bit in your eye, but other than that I love it! :)

I've been using this product for several years now and nothing depuffs my eyes and conceals my dark circles quite like this product. The new packaging also makes it easier to apply (not to mention there is more of it, so with the new applicator you really get your money's worth!). I highly recommend this product!

I really like the anticerne perfecteur soin hydrante by Dior,, and I've been searching for years for a concealer that is heavy enough to cover pretty well without looking totally fake. This makeup covers my dark circles pretty well--better than the Clinique cover up (the stuff in the tube) that I was using for *26* years, literally! I'm fair skinned so the circles are v. prominent. The Dior lasts long, is easy to apply, and feels nice.

One serious caveat: It's heavily scented with a pine-y, "natural," outdoorsy scent, which I hate, esp. since I'm allergic to perfume. However, the scent does fade after a while.

I am so obsessed with this concealer! The name is a bit of a mouthful (Anticerne Perfecteur Long-Wearing Moisturizing Concealer) but it's PERFECT! It covers like a dream and is so smooth and creamy plus you only need a tiny bit as it spreads really easily! Its moisturising and covers perfectly under the eyes making them look really fresh and well rested! Plus it lasts without caking and i can also use it on my face and it covers there perfectly as well! The packaging is great, the squeeze tube is really handy. I rated the price as dirt cheap because in my opinion its such great value - everything about it is awesome! Would repurchase!

I highly recommend this concealer for those looking for medium coverage around your eyes!! It comes in a tube and is a liquid format, which is quite different than what I was using - The MAC tub concealer. Surprisingly, this concealer is very pigmented and suitable for those looking for medium coverage. The reason I like it even more than the MAC tubs is due to its liquid consistency. This concealer is easy to apply and blend, and also moisturizes my undereye area. It does not crease but rather goes on like a second skin. It brightens the eye area and just makes it look like your undereye area is flawless. The MAC tubs are quite dry and sometimes highlight my fine lines. It's not a bad price for a high-er end line - I think it was around $25.00 CDN. EDIT: I only gave it 4 lippies because I need more coverage. I thought this stuff was fab and that I looked fab, until I asked my secretary and she told me politely that it wasn't enough for my undereye circles... *Reality Check* - I need my MAC tub for industrial strength concealing. However, for those of you who don't have undereye circles quite as dark as mine, you would probably be quite happy with this lovely, moisturizing concealer. For those of you needing the heavier end of the spectrum (like me), I guess we will have to stick with the MAC tubs!

I found my hg concealer!!! Finally! It covers, brightens, blends/builds well, moisturizes, and most importantly, it also covers my pores and make me look like I have flawless skin! This concealer sets wonderfully with powder on top, and it stays all day! It doesn't feel like I have anything on my skin. No creasing at all! I swear! I have combo oily skin that is breakout prone, so concealer and powder is a better option for me than a full on foundation. I have to be careful use it sparingly because the texture is so buildable that I end up putting it on most of my face. It's so buildable and silky/matte. I am so happy the search is over! And the price is very reasonable for the amount you get. 58oz for 22.50 in a squeeze tube! I don't think this is super great for covering zits though. I use my Stila concealer in the pot for that since it's thicker and drier. I will continue to buy this CD concealer for a long time to come!

UPDATE: This makes me look flawless and airbrushed! My skin glows big time when I put this on! I'm very happy with it! For those of you who are sensitive to scent; it is scented, but it doesn't bother me. The smell fades shortly after I apply it. No breakouts, so it's a real keeper for me. Definitely holy grail.

This is a really bad concealer. Rant! And it was so expensive. :(
First: the color choice is bad.
Second: it doesn't cover anything: not pimples, nothing in they eye area neither.
Third: it's very small, it looks like a very little l/s and it breaks very easily.
Why did I have to buy this? :(
(and I normally like Dior!)
