I love how well this covers up those redish areas on my face! The only negative thing is that it gets quite oily and very fast also. So you have to be tapping your face with a tissue quite often.. And of course with that oiliness, all of your makeup will soon be running down your face...

This was really cheap and I was quite surprised at the quality. It's a cake concealer with a lot of yellow in it. Covers up my red areas really really well. Is quite creamy and easy too apply, you only need a tiny amount to cover a lot. Beware if you have dry areas though, really emphazises flakes.

I'm really liking this for hiding red areas! It has a good texture, and is applied w/brush, or my fav, just fingertip- you can pat it on and red is gone! It doesn't cake, like many others can. It is actually close to my skin tone, slightly deeper, but I apply a mineral foundation over top and it all blends fairly seemlessly.(I am usually concealing a cystic blemish,so sometimes there is a bit of dryness in the region from treatment products, and this goes over that very well. Would prob be great over capillary redness.) It is easily available- no trip to the mall, just the corner CVS, @ $9.99. There are probably even better things out there, but this is pretty nice till something better finds me.

Didn't really like this one. Doesn't cover enough and the colour is too dark for my fairy skin. It also looks really uneaven and unnatural and if you put it really really little it won't cover anytihing. I'm going to stay with my Sothys red neutralizer, far more better.

This is a pretty good product. Covers the redness quite well. However, I think I'll try the one from Make Up Store the next time. UPDATE: I took 1 lippie off as I found out this stuff was making me break out. Plus it doesn't stay on very well.

Just recently purchased this at CVS, they had BOGO 1/2 off so figured good way to try it. I got this and the Beauty Base Makeup Base. This comes in one color. It's very creamy and blends very good but doesn't feel heavy. Doesn't even feel like I'm wearing a concealer. The price is OK, regularly it is $9.99. I would definatly buy this again and wondering why I didn't try Lumene products before.

I was giddy with joy when my CVS finally got Lumene products. I had been hearing about this neutralizer for a long time. I find it really works well. I have red capillaries (lower cheek area) and they make me nuts trying to cover them. This neutralizer works better than ones that are more greenish, in my opinion. It looks dark in the pan, but somehow seems to blend in pretty well for me, even though I'm a LLL. I have been applying it with a small concealer brush, then tap in. I'm impressed with how well it covers, but the other test is, how well will it hold up through the day. I feel that it holds up far better than most. I see a hint of the redness showing through by end of day, but that's a big improvment over other concealers that have show-through going on in just a couple hours. I'm really pleased with this stuff. I put it on after foundation.

I use this concealer every day together with Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre and it's really a perfect match for me. It really helps with redness like it's supposed to and the price is just right.

This is a very yellow medium-pigmented neutralizer. The fact that it's yellow is exactly the point: yellow is much better than green at neutralising redness without making you look slightly ill! Having said that, the one shade (I think there's only one) is too dark for my skin and I'll have to leave it until the summer and try again. This would be very good for those with medium olive skins who have yellow tones and redness on top of that. The pigmentation is not too dense - which means it is easy to use and blend but on the other hand doesn't cover as much as, say, Joe Blasco's similar product. For the price, however, it's not bad. I won't buy again because I prefer Joe Blasco.

I like the consistency of this product, it feels different from other products. The colour isn't necessarily too dark for me, but it feels too yellow. I won't rely on this product alone, but will use it alongside my other concealer.
I will also look through other products when this runs out, but will consider buying it again. Update: Won't buy again, because it's yellow. Doesn't blend at all. I haven't found much use for this.

I have pretty fair skin(warm undertones though) with some blotchy redness along the jawline up to the cheek bones. I bought this hoping that it would solve my problems- since the redness shows through foundations. It was WAY too dark for my skin. It looked like I had splotches of very dark foundation on my skin. Thankfully, I bought it at CVS and they take cosmetics returns.

This stuff is awesome! I am actually going without foundation and just applying this to the red areas on my face. It stays on my oily skin for hours and is easy to reapply as needed. It blends beautifully for most skin tones I think. It comes in a small pot the same size as Lumene Star Singles shadows, which I love because I can throw it into my purse and it makes no mess to apply (like some wand styles can) Consistency is beautiful, smooth and awesome pigment and texture. I love the stufF! NO FOUNDATION or Tinted moisterizer for me! What a treat! UPDATE: Sadly, this does break me out, so I will use it only for special occasions. Taking a lippie away for that.
