GREAT!!but make sure you choose the wright shade!!I tried it immediatelly in my face NOT in hand before buying it!the shade 08 beige is perfect for my fair-medium skin tone and covers completely my terrible undereye dark circles!I used to buy very expensive concealers(la prairie,dior,estee lauder)but i think this one is the same or even better and so cheap!! :)

I really loved this concealer when I first bought it. It was perfectly suited to cover my bluey/brown undereye circles. I would apply it with a small concealer brush and set it with powder and it would look fabulous all day. But after about a month or so of being open I feel like the texture of it changed and it became far too hard to spread and blend under my eyes.
I think as a cream it would be fabbo, but as a stick it's just too thick difficult to use.

If only I could still buy this in 07 Ivory in Australia! It was discontinued here a couple of years ago, and they stupidly replaced all the shades with one shade only! Why?! A bizarre thing to do... Anyway, this is a great concealer: perfectly matches my skin, "sticks" to the skin well and doesn't wear off easily, blends quite well. I'm really sad I can't get it anymore... still using up my last stick!

This product was a complete waste of money. It's too thick and caulk like. Also, it did more to highlight problem areas than to camouflage them.

I love this concealer I have been buying this product for years. I have
acne prone skin and Ive been covering red acne scars. This is better than all the high end products that I have tried and that has been a lot!! I will always buy this product you should give it a try.

I love this concealer! This is my second tube, I can always count on this when everything else fails!
This concealer is such a soft rich creamy texture, easy to blend, it soo thick that it clings on to the area you you applied it and you dont need to use a lot of the product at all.
It very durable, barely need any touch up, its got a pink undertone which very good to conceal those dark circles. Small and compact, always have it handy in the bag.

this is a good product in my opinion. it's quite funny how the reviews are split, some girls say they like it and for others it didn't work at all. i think i'm one of the lucky ones that can honestly say they found a perfect concealer and a staple in this product.

PROS:
-it covers very well
-doesn't clog in the lines or pores (for a decent amount of time)
-doesn't fade AT ALL. i had a small red spot (like a pimple) on my cleavage (how gross is that??) and wanted to wear a revealing dress. dabbed this on the 'pimple' which was quite on my breast (yuck!) and went out dancing. on my way home i noticed the concealer was still there...after all the dancing and sweating.
-you can get a pretty effect by either blending it with your tools/fingers or dabbing it with your ring finger/sponge. doesn't lose coverage if dabbed or rubbed into the skin, which is a major plus. most concealers will disappear or cake (it happens even with the Clinique all about eyes...sometimes)
-i have mine in 03 Medium which is a middle color with strong orangey-pinky undertones. i bought this color because i think it's the most similar drugstore concealer to Eve Pearl's salmon concealer.
-covers dark circles, pimples, spots, etc, with a natural powdery finish
-i like the scent:))

CONS:
-can cake a little after let's say...10 hours? but it's still remarkable for a drugstore product.

nothing else to say. will repurchase until i can find my HG. but i think this is quite a HG for the price and availability. every girl should have this as a staple.

I use a green based concealer for red imperfections and i have been using this to counteract the green when there is to much. I have it in 01 natural, and a different packaging from the one displayed here on MUA but for me its pretty good. It is quite dark for me (im pale :S)
i don't knw if i'd buy again cuz im sure there are better ones out there, overall good and ill keep on using it.
A bit unsanitary if ur just putting it on your face from the stick :S

This is the worst concealer and worst makeup product I've ever bought . It is cakey, hard to blend, sticky, has a strong, yucky smell and when I apply it my face gets really itchy. This is the first and last product I will ever buy from Max Factor.

Tried this on a lark, after hearing for many years that it was so great. I figured it would be like Great Lash. But it's the only concealer I've ever used that doesn't end up in the creases under my eyes. Awesome stuff, and I plan to stock up before Max Factor stops selling in the US. I'm a MAC NC25, and I use this in Natural. Highly recommend.

This brand is not only the first cosmetic brand in America (1909), but it's products stick around for years. Because they work, you just have to know how to use them. Another MUA said something about products and consumers. It's not the product that cannot work in most cases, it's the consumer. Everyone wants fast and easy makeup, but they aren't willing to take the time and sit down to work with it. Those celebs you see have been in a chair getting their's done for an average of 30 min. to an hour. You can tell the difference when they are caught without it. I use a brush with this and not directly on blemishes or circles, and blend. Follow with some kind of setting powder that won't settle. Like Powderflage or HD.

I tried this based on a youtube review/tutorial and this is one of the best under eye concealers for my dark circles. I got the fair and it's really creamy, creamier than mac studio fix concealer, so it's easy to blend under the eye. Gets rid of my massive dark circles easily without having to layer products on the eye area.

Slightly fragranced..flowery, but nothing harsh. If you buy any makeup and it smells bad, return it..there might be something wrong with it.

I am very disapointed about this product. I had seen so much praise over this concealer stick in many magazines over the years. But, to my dismay, it didn't conceal anything on me. It is very cakey and is hard to blend in. It also as a horrible smell that is extremely strong. I loved the fact that it is a stick and only 5 dollars, but unfortunately it is not even worth that. As for fair skin, the reviews all seem to be great, but not for darker skin like mine. I do not recommend this product to anyone with a medium to deep skin tone. It will not cover anything and look extremely cakey.

This review is for Max Factor Erace Concealer stick. I returned this item even though it was very inexpensive. It is one of the worst smelling products I have ever encountered. I don’t want this company to have even a penny of profit from such an atrocity. I used a very small amount and could actually smell it on my face. I needed to wash it off right away. I simply couldn’t stand it. From now on I will only buy makeup that is listed as fragrance-free. If you are at all sensitive to scent stay far away from this stuff.

I use this concealer along with the Pan Stick to help me cover up an unwanted tattoo on my leg for when going out or wearing a dress. It offers great coverage, and it's really smooth and easy to blend. I also used it under the eyes and to cover up some imperfections on my face.

I stock up in this concealer in white. I'm obviously not THAT pale lol, but it works great for me. Before I put on my foundation (which is always too dark), I put it on my cheek bones, down my nose, under my eyes and eyelids, and a little on my chin and forehead. Then I blend it in with my makeup and it brightens, adds extra coverage, and helps even out the weird foundation colors I have. If anything it's great for just on your eyes, it blends so well and wakes you up instantly. I love this concealer! I haven't tried it in any of the colors, but I think I will after reading the reviews for fair clair (even though the rating isn't too high). If I go nuts with this concealer I have a good chance of clogged pores, but I just make sure to wash my face extra well when I wear it and put on some preventative treatment that night. Drugstore.com always has these pretty cheap if you're in the market. In fact now it's BOGO 50 percent off.

First, I think it's funny this has like a 70% plus repurchase rating, while the specific color entries are in the 50% range??!! Regardless, I tried this only because in a magazine a top m/u artist listed this as a cheap, effective concealor. I seriously expcted absolutely nothing, especially since I found it at walmart for $5. But let me say that floating around my makeup case are mufe, exuviance, and several other high end concealors that look terrible under my eyes, but this in natural is the best one I have EVER tried! I do use moisterizer and of course sunscreen under it and it looks flawless. Now, I am 40, am told I look younger (not sure about that, but I sure as hell try:p) but I do have some tiny lines on the corner of one eye, and this never settles in them. I really had quit buying concealor figuring there wasn't one out there that didn't make me look worse and older, so now that it's been over a week, I wanted to add my two cents on this. It may not work wonders for you as it has for me, but for a fiver, it's worth a try!! By the way, I am nw25 in studio fix and I use the natural, blends perfectly.

I got this concealer in Fair to try it out. It's working well for me. I use it under my eyes and also on my eyelids, especially in the inner corners. Works very well as a shadow base imo. Also covers up my eyelid freckles (yes - people with freckles do have those :)) I'll buy this again. Great price, and it's as good as any I've tried at any price.

This concealer actually covers things up for me. I've only used it once, well, this morning and it seems nice.
