This is the only concealer I've found thus far that matches my skin tone so well...I don't wear foundation or even tinted moisturizer, so my concealer has to match really well. This does get kind of cakey by the end of the day, though. I like the smooth consistency and doe-foot applicator. One tube lasts me almost an entire year. I don't like that the tube is too long for the applicator...there's always like 1/8" of product left in the bottom of the tube that I can't reach! Kind of a bummer, considering this is $15/tube. Maybelline Super Stay concealer is very similar, for less than half the price.

As many of the reviews have said, this is a very light coverage concealer. I use it daily and I don't really mind the light coverage since I don't have too much to cover and this plus my foundation gives me pretty good coverage, but if you are looking to cover up really dark circles or big blemishes then this is not the concealer for you. It lasts pretty well when set with powder even on my oily skin. I would buy this again but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, it didn't blow me away but I don't hate it either.

When I went to the Clinique counter to buy a concealer, I specifically said to the woman that I wasn't looking for a thick concealer to cover bad acne, or a concealer designed especially for dark circles. I told her that I wanted just an all-around concealer, and I'm very happy with what I asked for. I have no problem with the pinkish tint because my skin has pink undertones anyway. If you are unhappy with the way this concealer covers your blemishes or dark circles, maybe try something a little more targeted to a specific problem. It's called "Quick Corrector" so it's more like a broad, quick fix. I had no issues with the packaging & no leaking problems. Will probably repurchase.

Definitely an ok "on-the-go" concealer, but it's not very opaque and I wasn't that impressed with the job it did under my eyes. I find the liquid formula quite difficult to manipulate so I would not buy this again.

It is once again, another OK concealer, and it covers ok, except i like my revlon color stay concealor and bare minerals concealer WAY better, so yea it's really not a good value. Don't waste ur money for a plain OK concealer like this.

This product was a little too thin to make it work, you have to layer and layer to conceal zits, and was too watery to really cover up discoloration. Applicator doesn't really help since you have to use your fingertips to get any kind of coverage. Wouldn't recommend. Even my Smashbox concealer is better than this stuff.

Really nasty concealer. It's so watery it doesn't do anything. Way too pink.

i use this mainly for my occasional spots and scars. i find when i apply it and blend it in with a brush it works better- when i use my fingers it removes it completely. although this doesn't have the FULLEST coverage because it is a liquid, it's still pretty good coverage. and the wand picks up a good amount when i take it out of the packaging. not too much. i don't need to stick the wand inside more than once to spot check my whole face. however, it doesn't work too well for undereye circles, because it tends to crease whatever i do and fall into lines i didn't even know i had.

Okay, so i have to say that this product is the worst concealer that i have ever used! the cheap drug store stuff is better than this! it didnt really match my skin tone, and it did a terrible job of covering my blemishes.for some reason it adds shimmer to your skin and makes it look like the light is reflecting off of it.it doesn't look natural at all!!! it was very frustation attemting to cover up anything with this product, even the dark circles under my eyes would turn very unattural, like it was very obvious i had concealer on, which i didnt like at all!! i would never in my life buy this product again!! it is definately not my moneys worth!!

I loved Body Shop's Lightening Touch, since I don't have much wrinkles around my eyes to begin with, it was moist and light, sheer and creamy, and as the day gets on, it gets better, never gets caky and settle into lines. It was just tube of perfection. But for <2ml of product, it costs 14CAD which is absolutely ridiculous. I know I will go back to it, but in between I use this Clinique concealer. To me this is strictly a undereye concealer, it can't really be used anywhere else since it has shimmers and sparkles in it. I HATE the fact that is it so watery and dries so fast, making it harder to blend around my eyes. I also hate the fact that because it is dry, it settles into lines and cakes, and it gets worse as the day goes on. It is not that sheer, and when they say buidable, don't do it. It gets all gross and obvious. But for this price, this is pretty much a good deal. I'm sick of the tube because it looks like a lab equipment and it bring back mad Chemistry lab memories. But the quality is pretty good, it never leaks and so on. The sponge applicator doesn't bother me though, since with every eye concealer I only use their applicator to dab onto my eyes and blend with my finger.

Works adequately, but certainly not the best: (1) slightly shimmery--why would any one wanting to cover blemishes, etc. desire shimmer over a blemish?; (2) can get cakey if applied thickly, yet doesn't cover much unless it is applied thickly; and (3) can be drying on me unless mixed with moisturizer

Seems best for covering flat and minimal skin discoloration such as under eye yellowing, etc. but not for covering red bumps--where it can look really cakey and still not cover the redness.

I have really oily skin so I was hesitant about buying a concealer that might just rub off during the day. I use it to cover up stubborn acne scars and existing pimples. It's best used if you dab the concealer on the spots and use a brush to blend it in. So far, it's been doing pretty well. My scars are less apparent, and I have super sensitive skin so I'm glad it hasn't made me break out even more.
It's kind of a small bottle and the lip-gloss-type applicator can be frustrating (seems like it'll run out soon), but it's handy because you don't have to use your hands to blend.
I would buy this product again. I just wish it wouldn't run out so quickly!

I hate this type of packaging. Its packaged like a lipgloss with a sponge tip applicator. it gives very sheer coverage and the color options are terrible IMO.

I have to defend this product. It is a quick corrector. That's right - a CORRECTOR. For correcting blemishes and spots. It will not give you maxinum coverage - that's not what it was designed for.

I am a pale 'english rose' and have this in the lightest shade. For concealing blemishes and spots it's great.

This product didn't do much for me. It failed miserably as an undereye concealer (made it look worse, actually!), and I bought the lightest shade, which was close but no cigar. The sponge tip applicator is nice, but not enough of a redeeming factor for the lackluster product inside. Very low coverage, and kind of matte, which can sometimes accentuate what you want to hide. Better off with a cheaper, drugstore product.

I think the only reason this gets such bad reviews is because people try to use it to cover pimples and such. Since this is a light-reflecting concealer, there will be a little, tiny, all-but-invisible amount of shimmer *when it is put on dark spots under the eyes*. I wouldn't recommend this to someone who needs something to cover up pimples, but for under the eyes, it is great. I have really heavy dark spots and this makes the almost non existent. It seems to be a little thicker than the average drug store concealer.

I think they re-did this because I just bought it and don't have any of the packaging problems. Nor is there any shimmer in it (and I hate even the smallest amounts of shimmer) It's also not thick. Just regular wand concealor conisistancy.

This is pretty nice. It's not super heavy and looks natural. It is a light/moderate coverage.

Ick. I bought this about a year ago when the MA at the Clinique counter insisted that it was what I was looking for. It matched my skin tone, but it was really quite a failure at covering anything. It looked really unnatural over blemishes and didn't work for under-eye circles, either. One of the biggest problems I had with it was that after awhile, it turned pinkish in the tube. It's like it went bad or something. It also CONSTANTLY leaked all over the contents of my makeup bag. Definitely won't be using this again.

I usually don't use concealers, as I have issues with dry skin. But after a spot on my left check popped up, I had to find something to help conceal it because my powder alone was not cutting it. I think I have a broken blood vessel or something. Anyway, this concealer does the job just perfectly. You will never guess that I am using it and I actually apply it ontop of my foundation. I blend with my pinky to help keep from creating lines and this allows for a better coverage. Overall great product
