This concealer works miracles! I swear by this stuff, okay.
I picked it up at my local Kohls in the makeup section. I wasn't expecting it to work as well as it does!
I have really bad dark circles (they're genetic), and I couldn't find a good concealer to cover them up. I've tried Garnier Anti Dark Circle Eye Roller (which didn't work--it made the area underneath my eyes look orange), Covergirl TruConceal (it was okay, but I could still see my dark circles under it), etc... Basically, you name it, I've tried it. I didn't think there was a concealer out there that would help, UNTIL I bought American Beauty Perfecting Concealer! I put a fair amount on, blended it in, and my dark circles were GONE. Just like that!
The color of it is great--it's a yellowish color. It blends well and it doesn't come off during the day. It removes easily at night, and the packaging is good. It's a small, squeezable tube. I like this better than the Covergirl TruConceal, which was a wand-type thing (I don't know how to describe it), because this tube lets you control the amount that you put on.
I am definitely buying this again--and in bulk! This is my favorite concealer in the history of concealers. That is how much I love and recommend it for anyone to try.

I use this as an every day but concealer but also a full coverage foundation on special occasions. This covers everything but looks so natural. Very easy to blend and buildable coverage. Will continue to repurchase. I have only seen this at Kohls stores so that may be inconvenient for some of you ladies...but if you have a Kohls nearby definitely gove this a try!

I think this is the source of all my problems! I wear it with my maybelline 24 hr superstay (which i have used for about a year now and i know does not break me out) and the next day i get massive pimples and cystic acne. Why? I think it's this. I have oily skin and acne prone skin and its not oil free or even non-comedogenic. I should have realized when i bought it but I was desperate. The color shade wasnt even a match for my deep skintone! Oh well its just gonna be trash now.

I purchased the shade 'fair' and it's an excellent match to my complexion, for reference I wear MAC NC15. Besides the great match I also like the tube packaging, but that really is the only positive things I personal like about this product. I found the texture of this product to be kind of sticky, very difficult to blend, and looked patchy under the eyes. Even set with powder this concealer creased horribly and sunk into every fine line imaginable. After trying to use this product a few times I've given up. Just not a good product for me.

I have finally found my HG replacement concealer! I had been using Mary Kay's beige concealer for years because the quality is outstanding and just right for my skin no matter how it has changed over the years. My skin has gone from combination/oily to dry/normal and MK's concealer has been my HG. Well....I have been on the hunt for a new HG concealer for a long time and have finally found it. Kohls American Beauty line is a bit of Estee Lauder in disguise without the pricetag to my happy surprise. The concealer I got is in fair & I am NC25 so its a tiny bit lighter than my skin tone which is what I want. I use it sparingly under my eyes and around my nose where it tends to get red. I dab a tiny bit on other spots and it does its job. It blends in easily even after I use it to touch up after foundation. So yes I use this before foundation then touch up after then dust with powder to set. It looks perfect! This has been behaving like MK's concealor & I like that I can go to Kohls to buy it and not have to hunt down one from the flea market or internet or sales person. HG! (Con: The tube is cheap & ugly looking though)

This concealer really is a hidden treasure. I have broken capillaries under my eyes, and I've found very few things that actually cover them and won't migrate into my fine lines and settle. SK hidden agenda is very good, but often out of stock at my Target. My Josie Maran concealer compact is also great, but expensive. This is a fantastic, inexpensive alternative to both. Plus, I love the tube packaging and creamy, lightweight consistency. I wear "fair". The $15 price tag may still be steep for some, but it is almost ALWAYS on a 15% off sale at Kohl's.

If I could I would give this concealer a 4.5...It is fantastic for the price! The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because of the shade options. I went with the lightest option (Fair) and it is too yellow for my skin tone. Fair is a not usually a yellow skin tone, so I find that a little irritating and misleading.
NOW ON TO THE GOOD STUFF. The packaging is great!!! A compact, light weight tube that is easy to bring anywhere. I love the consistency of this as well- thicker than a liquid foundation but more fluid than most cream concealers and foundation... the perfect blend of both worlds!
And finally, the price. $12.50
The price is 100% appropriate for the product, and let's face it... who actually enjoys paying $30+ for a concealer?

I wasn't looking for a concealer when I tried it, I was just trying everything I saw on. The second after I put it on I was amazed how great it covered my DARK under eye circles. It work better than anything else I've tried. I will totally buy it!!!

I have been using this concealer for 5 years. It is the absolute best concealer I've ever used and I will faithfully buy/use it as long as they continue making it.

Pros-
-Perfect color on my skin
-Great coverage
-A little goes a long way (a bottle can last me a year)
-Good size bottle. It's not bulky or too big. It can fit easily into a jam packed makeup bag

Cons-
-Every once in a while the bottle has little explosions when you open it and a lot will come out, but this has only happened a couple times to me

Love, love, love this product! Purchased it when I finished Clinique All About Eyes Concealer. It goes on nicely- spreads and blends easily. You get a lot of product for a reasonable price, don't need much to cover the undereye area and I love the fact that Kohl's actually runs sales on their makeu!. Also lasts throughout the day and does not need to be retouched- I had to reapply All About Eyes several times a day. Good color match too (NC 45), which is not so easy for me- I find that many concealers are too yellow or too orange- this one is just right. All around I was pleasantly suprised.

This concealer is amazing. I tried it on at Kohl's because my friend and I were looking for a good concealer. I wasn't expecting it to do much as it seemed thin and not much different from other liquid concealers (and I prefer stick formulas). I layered Light underneath Light Medium, and I was surprised to see that it made me look wide awake, my dark circles were erased. The formula seems thin, but when you apply it to your skin it slows down and thickens, in a way, and it really covers. I purchased it immediately. My friend also tried it under his dark circles, he looked years younger and we also mixed two shades for his skin tone, the result matched perfectly. The colors are amazing, and it actually covers, a little goes a long way, and it lasts! I haven't had any issues with it settling into fine lines, it stays where I put it, amazingly enough. I am trying it on blemishes today, I am excited to see how well it holds up throughout the day. Wow!

I have very dark under eye circles and this concealer is *amazing* for covering them! I am so glad I found it. It's not too thick, and idoesn't just slide around my eye like other concealers have done for me. It is really the best I have found. Very natural looking and photographs well too. I am happy with this product and would recommend to everyone :)

I have this in Light, and I have to say I was pretty skeptical of this concealer at first because I had never heard of it and the price was pretty high compared to what I was used to. However, I was so unhappy with my current drugstore concealer that I decided to give it a try as a giftcard purchase. Usually when I buy a concealer for my fair skin tone, it either completely washes me out or doesn't cover my dark circles no matter how much I build it up. What's wonderful about this concealer is that it covers up my dark circles completely but still makes me look natural, as if I have done nothing to my eyes. It completely erases the darkness under my eyes, and I look fresh faced right after application. It's also very easy to blend using your finger. My only negative comment about this concealer is that it will settle into fine lines, which I have a lot of right under my eyes. If I apply this and then pull on my eyes a bit to apply shadows, the concealer will fall into the lines and stay there until I blend it back out. It will also slowly fall into the fine lines by the end of the day, so I have to touch-up frequently. If this concealer had staying power and wouldn't stray into my fine lines so much, I'd say this is the perfect concealer for me!

It's amazing how a low-profile, no-hype brand can sometimes be WAAAAAY better than something super-hyped (ahem....Benefit Erase...ahem), such as in this case. I've been on a concealer binge for a couple of months now, and tried several high-rating concealers. None have lived up to my standards, except this one so far. It's lightweight but still creamy, and it covers my dark circles & hormonal/random blemishes really very good! It's not orange at all, it's neutral (04 Medium was my best bet/NC35). I do wish it were a tad more yellow-beige, I don't think the color match is spot-on (hence, the -1 lippie). Still, I am sticking to this one. It's a great deal at $12 ($9-$10 when you buy it on sale at Kohl's), fully less than half of Benefit Erase. Oh and it doesn't have those disgusting petrolatum based ingredients that Erase has. Also, it comes in a see-thru squeeze tube, so it's hygienic -no dipping. Two thumbs up!

I like how light this product is while still providing coverage. I was totally guilted into buying this and I don't hold a grudge at all! I find that with a powder foundation this looks natural and lasts throughout the day. I look WAY more awake than I feel when wearing this.

This concealer is quite wonderful! It covers my blemishes very well & doesn't wear off easily. It's also proving to last me a very long time, which makes paying $15 very worth it.
