Creamy and lovely. I got this as a bonus when I bought another Revlon product, and wasn't expecting much, but it surprised me. I use the shade 003 "light medium" (I'm an NC25), and although it's not the best concealer I've used, it does a pretty good job, considering it's a drugstore product. I use it for both brightening up the undereye area and on spots, although it's probably more suited for the latter, since it has a tendency to settle into fine lines sometimes in the eye area. That's not a dealbreaker for me though.

PROS:
~Formula is creamy & texture is silky---> Blendable
~Consistency is sheer---> Buildable, Light to Medium Coverage at most
~Conceals under eye, veins, redness, spots---> Looks Natural
~LIGHT matches NW-20, Revlon CS-Buff, Maybelline Smooth M-Creamy Natural, Sally Hansen Carmindy-Ecru Beige
~Easy to carry/use Clicker Pen in Lipstick tube
~Emily Noel from yt recommends & uses this for her HD camera news
~Find it On sale 40% off at most DS---> (i.e this month at ULTA for $6)

CONS:
~Deceitful packaging, its taller than a lipstick but carries same #grams.
~Unhygienic if your using this as spot concealer too, so use a Brush!
~It DOES have MICRO glitter, if u didnt see/care for it in the Revlon PR foundation, then this won't be a problem; for me that wAs a big no-no, but I don't mind the concealer much, as its not covering my entire face & I usually use foundation/powder with it.
~Excessive layers/heavy hand: leads to creasing,settles in fine lines
~Lasting power not so great, 4 hrs? Maybe less; fades evenly tho

Overall 3.5/5; one of the better DS concealers, probably best lipstick pen type applicator one. Although, I enjoy using this; it may not qualify for a repurchase..onto the new Maybelline Age Rewind/Rimmel Match Perfect---the only other 2 highly raved DS concealers I haven't tried ;)

I really wanted to love this concealer seeing as the packaging is easy and the texture is so creamy and blendable. It covered up some light acne scars on my face, I loved it! Until I stepped outside and there I was glittering under the sun. Atleast with the Photoready foundation, the sparkles, that I could easily tone down by wearing powder, made my face look dewy. This concealer really could have worked without the glitter. Seriously.

A GREAT drugstore concealer. I've just about finished my first tube of this product and I think it's a great drugstore buy for those who need medium coverage in trouble spots. Coverage is medium to full, but not as thick as some of the extra creamy high end products. However it is comparable to some of the stick concealers you can find at Sephora. It covers my dark circles and most blemishes well because the finish is VERY natural and never cakey. The texture is pretty creamy but light as well as it glides onto skin. It becomes very blendable. There is a very very subtle shimmer but they're micro particles meant to reflect light; they don't look like glitter to me. You may dislike this if you're used to heavy coverage concealers you need to pat on with a brush. Personally I love that it's in stick form because it's super convenient - just glide and blend - and I tend to dislike concealers you have to really work on with a brush. Packaging is good but I do wish it fully retracted into the tube.

For reference my first tube was in 003 and I'm an NC25 - was great but I just bought 002 as I'm slowly becoming an NC20.

This is my HG concealer.
It's a stick concealer, but the formula is just creamy enough.
It blends really well.
Color match/shade selection is great (yellow toned).
Packaging is nice (although it's a little odd, since it looks exactly like a lipstick); very chic.
Not super heavy coverage, light to medium, but covers well and you can build up the coverage. I use it under my eyes, on red marks, etc. It manages to conceal while still looking natural.
Lasts all day long, through heat and whatever else. Very impressed with staying power.
Never has broken me out, made blemishes concealed with it worse, or caused me any skin problems.

Did not notice the sparkles that some of the other reviewers mention. I would definitely recommend this concealer.

I like everything about this product except for the tiny sparkles. Doesn't that kindof defeat the purpose of concealer? The color is perfect (very yellow-based) and the consistency is creamy but matte. I also think the packaging is the best of any drugstore concealer. But the sparkles are killing me!

Love, love, love this product! My new go to concealer. I love that its a twist up pen its much easier and convenient to re-apply during the day. The colour is perfect the formulation is creamy and easy to blend. Medium coverage, i use this mainly under my eyes, it covers dark circles doesnt set into fine lines and lasts a long time. Up there with some up the higher end concealers i own!

This is my new favorite concealer. For years and years I was purchasing Shisedo The Makeup Concealer stick and before that the discontinued pallette at $25. I paid $10 at CVS for this one and I am sure it is cheaper elsewhere. With one swipe under the eyes, it does everything I need it to do. The Sheido consistancy was very creamy and much thicker. This is creamy but thinner and more forgiving. It has a light reflective quality to it. I purchased it in the number 2 Light and while it looks pale in the package, it is very complimentary on. I am going to try the number 3 Light Medium as well, just to see the difference. I can return it if I don't like it. It lasts better than the Shiseido and it doesn't really settle into lines so much. So I am very happy I am not spending alot of money for my favorite concealer, which of course is a girl's best friend!

Overall, I really liked this product. It can be a bit thick, and I don't love it as any undereye concealer. I don't have many fine lines, but it does tend to settle in the small ones around my eyes. However, it holds up pretty well throughout the day, but does sometimes need to be reapplied around my t-zone, as that area gets oilier throughout the day. For a drugstore concealer though, I was impressed with this product.

The packaging for this concealer is excellent. I like the stick form because of its ease of use. The formula is nice and blends well. It's pigmented and doesn't tug on skin like some concealers can while blending. It covers blemishes and discolorations very well. I like the fact that I can just toss this in my purse and go. It's easy to use on the go. My only problem with this concealer is that it gets a bit patchy on dry skin areas. I put it on under my eyes once and it looked terrible. Overall, a nice product with good packaging and ease of use. I would purchase again.

I am really pale and have extremely dark circles under my eyes. Being low in iron makes it almost impossible to get rid of. I've tried SO many concealers to hide it but they always come through. I found this product in a reduce bin at the drug store and decided to try it. For $10.00 I got the foundation and concealer. When I first try the concealer, I was sick and had really bad dark circles. I only had to put a little bit on. It was extremely blendable and creamy. And to my surprise, it covered my dark circles from 8:00 am until around 11:00 pm. It was incredible.
If you have problems with dark circles, this concealer is amazing. It was also very easy to find a shade that is slightly darker than my skin tone, but makes it look natural. I recommend this product to everyone.

Great product :-) I love the texture- so creamy and blendable! It is good at covering light areas of discoloration, but I find that it's not that great at covering blemishes. However I don't really get acne anymore, so overall, it is a lovely product, and I would repurchase :)

This product is great. I have dark skin and it's very difficult to find a concealer that matches my skin tone. Revlon does a great job of making products that fit a wide range of colors. This product is very creamy and goes on very smooth. I use it under my foundation and it does a good job of covering my acne scars. Now, the reason i use it under my foundation is because it doesn't have a yellowing undertone for my skin. It doesn't quite match my skin tone but that's okay. Something else i didn't quite like about this product is that when i use it under my eyes( which have bags and dark circles) it doesn't do a good job of concealing. When it's on top of my dark circles, it just sits on top without covering up. It created this ugly grey/yellow color which i don't like. and using more just makes it look even worse. However, it's a great product for everything else. I love the creaminess and the packaging. Basically, it's creamy, goes on smooth, covers up acne-scars, not so much dark circles, good for minimal covering, and it lasts a long time. The reason i wouldn't buy this again, is the fact that it doesn't have thick coverage. I need a good concealer that will cover my dark circles and this just isn't the one. However, i might buy it again just for my acne scars because it does a great job with that!

Wow, to find my HG concealer in the last place I expected! I love this product. It has this odd light-reflecting quality about it that kind of blurs away the dark cirles under my eyes. It's not the best for blemishes and such as the pigmentation is a bit sheer, but it's definitely the best undereye concealer I've ever used. The consistency of the stick is nice and creamy, I just swipe under my eye and blend with a finger and it looks perfect. It also continues to look perfect throughout the day, it doesn't cake or settle into my fine lines. It's the first concealer I've used that I can look at 6 hours into the day and not cringe. Everything else just cakes and looks so unnatural. Not this stuff! I love it, hope they never discontinue.

This product has its up and downs. I really like the design of the packaging. The application is really easy and can be done pretty quickly with out difficulties. Its a good on the go product. However, unlike liquid concealers this conceraler is a little more dry (in stick form) so it needs to be blended more carefully. I really like the coverage and want to love it BUT IT HAS TINY SPARKLES IN IT and i just cant get over it because it ruins the coverage it does have. When light hits your face your undereye is all glittery. THAT THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME GO BACK TO OLD CONCEALERS. other then that i love this product

I really enjoy this concealer. Since my favorite concealer (Maybelline dream mousse concealer) has sadly been discontinued, I went out looking for a new one befoe I ran out of my dream mousse. I read reviews &watched videos on this one &decided to give it a try. &I love the application &the finish ! I have this in medium-deep &it matches my skin beautifully. This is my first stick concealer &it doesn't tug or pull at my eyes at all. It feels like it just melts the second it touches my skin. The only downside is that it has tiny little sparkles that aren't too noticeable but I could do w/ out. I would buy this again &might get a back up just bc I'm paranoid this one will be discontinued too ! Lol

I'm glad that Revlon caught on to the stick concealers. They've always had ones in a tube with a wand or some kind of click pen with a sponge tip. I think the concealer is better than the foundation of the same name. I found the foundation as worthless, and it burned my skin. Considering I've never had sensitive skin, it was confusing as to what exactly was causing that. This goes on sheerer so that it can be layered if you need it. Some women don't need extra coverage, but for those who do, just add a little more and blend it out.

In general, I have had bad experiences with stick concealers since I find them extremely drying and hard to work with, this is no different. I would avoid it for under-eye circles because it tends to settle in lines and becomes hard to blend (especially if you have drier skin under you eyes). Even though it blends relatively easily, it still doesn't look natural/flawless like I would have hoped for. However, I find it good to use as a spot/blemish/redness concealer because it is rather opaque and doesn't require much work in order to get decent coverage. The wear it provides is average, but it does tend to crease around the eye/nose area for me. I don't see any "sparkles" that is reminiscent of their PhotoReady liquid foundation/powder that some people have commented about.

I love this concealer! The formula is creamy and pigmented, and one swipe is normally enough for my undereye circles. I don't have any issues with this creasing even though I have oily lids. I have the shade in 003 light/medium, and for reference I am an NC30. The packaging is sturdy and the lid does not come off easily in my makeup bag, which is great. I paid around $24.99 for this, which is a little pricey for a drugstore concealer, but it does the job well. I haven't noticed any shimmer in this product at all, so I have absolutely no complaints with that. Will repurchase.

I have the Fair shade and it truly is the best concealer I have ever used, not too pink, not too yellow and finally fair enough for my skin (most concealers end up darker than my foundation), not this one it applys smoothly, covers circles and the light reflective quality is just enough not to look sparkly (unlike the foundation in this range which looks like glitter all over my face). Far better than the makeup. Hope this isn't discontinued anytime soon!
