This concealer is ok - its not my first choice, but it works well if my skin is dry or flaky. The color blends well with my skin and looks very natural. It does tend to wear off more quickly than other concealers I have tried though.

A pretty basic concealer, that gives only light coverage. I don't care to ever revisit this product again!

I have yet to find my HG concealer. This one however, is the one I always come back to after trying something else. It hides my undereye circles pretty well. It doesn't cake under my eyes or leave lines like other concealers. I've found when I use it to cover blemish marks on my chin area, it tends to get a cakey look after a few hours. Nothing that a little blotting and repowdering won't fix. Alas, the hunt continues....

This didn't cover at all. The texture is too watery for me. Not worth the money. It also has a weird smell.

This concealer covers pretty well, but it settles into the lines under my eyes. I'm only 25, but this concealer makes me look old! I won't be buying this one again.

Despite the lightest shade ("light") still being too dark for my skin tone, this is a great concealer when used in conjunction with a lighter foundation. I'm not sure about its merits as a "skin smoothing" solution, but as a concealer it does the job. It is a bit thick, but if I spread it out evenly I don't have a problem. This is one of the only products I've found that is actually as hypo-allergenic as it claims of itself, which I'm happy about. Overall, a great find.

I just started using this today, I'm on a HG concealer hunt, and not having much luck. So far, I like this one, as there is no fragrance, and it hasn't caused any irritation to my sensitive eyes. I bought it in "light" and it blended fairly well on my fair skin. I used my Bare Minerals foundation over the top of it and so far no caking of the foundation. I'm so tired of hunting for a good concealer, I've spent a small fortune of the stuff and have it coming out my ears. Concealer anyone? Maybe I could pass out all my extras instead of candy this Halloween.

I have been using this concealer for years and have found the 'light' shade to be the perfect creamy colour for my fair complexion. It is smooth and light in texture and when layered over dark circles and blemishes it does the trick nicely and lasts all day. Doesn't cause breakouts, overall a good product for a good price.

Works well, doesn't clog my skin and goes on smooth. Blends well too. Nice little concealer that does the trick. :)

Not for me and my crazy combo skin. The texture on this is not very fine, and looks obvious. This didn't really cover my blemishes well. Also, it made my dry skin under my eyes obvious. Returned to eckerd. For drugstore concealers, I have had better luck with Neutrogena.

This concealer is great for me. It's really good at covering blemishes, but I still use it under foundation because the shades are hard to match. It works really well under my eyes as well. I like this better than my Clinique airbrush concealer!

I like this concealer and have been using it for about 2 years. It doesn't break me out and it really helps even out redness in my skin tone around the nose and chin. I also use it under my eyes. It is liquidy and really blends in well. I also use the Almay Cover Up Stick with a concealer brush to cover up any blemishes though, as I find it is heavier coverage than this product. The cover up stick is perfect for blemishes, but is thick for places like my undereyes, so I find pairing the two together really works for me. It doesn't make my face perfectly flawless, but after using the concealer and setting it with some Sonia Kashuk powder, my face looks really good even if I'm having a bit of a breakout.

I bought this along with the amazing lasting concealer at cvs when they had a BOGO 50% off and was not impressed at all. Creased and caked and going back to the store.

I usually can't buy drugstore products because they have too much pink in them, but this one matched my skin beautifully. It had a nice light coverage, but could hide darker imperfections with another layer. It did not crease or cake and lasted throughout my work evening--even when walked back and forth between hot grills and immense heat (teppanyaki grill). The price is great $8 CDN, but the packaging could use some revamping. It is a tube with brush wand-like applicator; too much concealer goops on the end and can cause excess waste of product.

Doesn't have a good shade selection, hard to blend. Worst of all, when used under my eyes it made me look like I have fine lines! I freakin' just turned 20, WTF! I have never, ever had this problem before. Usually I get people saying I look 12, but this concealer made me look like a grandma. I guess it might come in handy if you're underage trying to look old to buy alcohol or something.

This is a gerat concealer. The consintency is nice and smooth. It doesn't make my acne prone skin beak out...if anything it actually helps it clear up. It is also good for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. The coverage is pretty good too...although you may need to use more than one layer if you have really noticable blemishes. On eproblem is the limited shade selection. The Light shade is way too light for me, and the Medium shade is wat too dark. So it sort of a hassle to have to mix the colors for me to get the right shade. I love the brush applicator a lot better than the sponge tip one that comes in most other concealers. The price is a little high---but I would gladly pay it because this is hands down my favorite concealer.

Love this concealer! True, the coverage may not last all day, but it is nice to find a concealer that wont make my skin break out. Great Wear (Maybelline) was my favorite, but after it got discontinued it was hard to find another that was good. This concealer is awesome for light coverage and it is SPF15.
