LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! This is one of the best concealers I've ever used! It's so light feeling but covers very well. I only use it for any blemishes so I just dab it on the spot, pat it in, cover it with some MAC Mineralize Skinfinsh Natural and I'm good to go. Decent packaging and a little really goes a long way! HG status for me!!

I really like this concealer. Other concealers I've tried are too cakey, too dry in formula, or just don't do their job properly. This one is creamy in texture, not too thick, blends soooo easily and looks NATURAL. I use medium 2-4 for my NC37-40 / C5 skintone...it covers small blemishes and undereye circles well, not full coverage, but good enough for me. It lasts all day on my combo skin aswell. Would definately repurchase!

For the record, I'm NC30-ish & I have this in Medium 0-1 Sand.


This is my favorite concealer, drugstore or otherwise. I've never had a concealer that covered my acne scars as well as this one did. It's very easy to blend & highly pigmented. I'm not terribly fond of the doe-foot applicator, but I'll live with it. Will definitely repurchase.

I really like this concealer for blemishes. It blends really well and covers without looking mask-y. When I did try to use it under my eyes (I don't do it often), I didn't care for it. But for day to day use, it's the best drugstore brand that I've tried.

Had to join in with a positive review for this product.
I have a drawerful of concealers, ever searching for the best one for my undereye circles. This is pigmented enough to truly do a nice job of covering, and the texture is creamy and easy to apply without being greasy. A+, Maybelline!!!

While in the midst of a serious breakout crisis, I bought this out of desperation. I must say it was a life saver. Thanks to this product, I could go out in public without embarrassment as it skillfully masked the sad state my skin was in at the time.

It is without a doubt my HG concealer, because I have never found a product, especially at such an affordable price ($10 CA) that blends so well yet offers such full coverage. I bought it in ivory, and although my skin might be slightly darker, because it blends so well, you cannot even tell that it is not a perfect match. My sister, who has more colour to her complexion than I do, bought this concealer in ivory too, and miraculously it blends perfectly with both of our skin tones.

The fact that it is a mineral concealer is also a plus, as I was weary of wearing anything on my face that might worsen my breakouts.

Overall, a good concealer.
I bought this as part of my whole experimenting with mineral makeup, {which I love this brand's line btw} and I wasn't disappointed.

The only thing is, I think I have the wrong shade. I think the concealer should be just a little darker, and this is slightly misleading, since the Medium 0-1 foundation doesn't match up to the concealer, but it's my fault for mot returning.
The concealer itself has a really nice consistency; not too heavy, but not too runny.

It only gets cakey if you apply too much, and is good for applying to both blemishes and undereye circles. You might want to mix a tiny dab of moisturizer when applying undereye though, just so it's easier to blend.

I really don't like the packaging, other than the fact that it's really small and easy to carry around. I hate the brush thingy that is suppossed to be the applicator, and I do the wrist thing that someone else wrote about.

Price was about $7, I think. Walgreens.

This concealer does not cause breakouts! I used it on my acne prone cheeks to cover up small scars, and it worked really good.

Bottom Line: A really good concealer. Does it's job. Will repurchase, if i don't find a better one.

i have many many concealers but I always go back to this one. It does what it's suppose to, conceal. However, if you have something really dark or big, it will look cakey, esp if you try to hide it, but i think so does other concealers.

I love this and will buy again, esp for the price compare to prestige ones. It blends well with my liquid foundation and setting powder. I don't think it has any kind of mineral in it bc i'm allergic to those and I don't have a problem with this.


My only complain is the applicator and tube. Highly unsanitizing. I think they're in it with the cleaning product company so we break out and continue to use their products. Would love to see all liquid makeup in a squeeze tubes.

This is an excellent concealer for hiding blemishes. It is densely pigmented, applies easily with a light texture, and has great staying power.

I like to apply a dab to the back of my hand and then use a small concealer brush to apply directly onto spots. The included sponge applicator picks up way too much product to be any use in applying the concealer directly to your face.

I don't find it great for covering dark under-eye circles. It tends just to turn them from a dark grey-purple to a light grey-purple. I imagine it would work well on top of a corrective base though.

I have this in the lightest colour, which is a good match, but it can look a tad chalky without a dusting of my mineral powder (Bloom) over the top.

A good product though, and I've been impressed with the high quality of this from Maybelline.

Edited: Unfortunately something weird has happened to mine and it has turned really pink and chalky. It's now headed for the bin.

This is a great concealer for dark circles. I can't live without this, I don't dare step out of the house without at least putting this on. Not so great for covering blemishes but very good for irritated looking spots. I love this product but if there is something out there that this will prove better then I'm willing to try it.

GOOD FOR DARK CIRCLES! pat it on.

It works well on dark circles but not so good at covering up blemishes. It feels light on the skin and doesn't cake unless you over-apply. The shade I chose was a tinsy bit too light, but it's not too bad. I'm in the medium skin tone area and both the tones they offer in there practically looked the same on the packaging. Anyways, this is a pretty good concealer for everything but zits.

Edit 11-28-09 I've changed this to a 4 lippie rating. I do wish it would cover just a little better than it does, but it is still one of the best for me. It seems to fade too fast, especially the new tube I've just opened.

I have sooooo many concealers, but this sounded too good to pass up. I have lt/med, yellow/olive skin and bought this in both fair and creamy. As for color match, the fair color covers beautifully, the creamy was too close to my natural color to lighten the circles. The creamy is a very yellow based color, the fair is yellow based too, but a slightly lighter color. However, it does fade a little bit as others have mentioned, but all concealers fade on me. Hoping this will not be discontinued anytime soon.

Holy Cow! I have been very low on money recently (who hasn't) and I had run out of my much loved MAC Select Moisturecover. I had a VERY bad bout of severe acne for the past year due to some medication I was taking, so concealer that was strong enough to cover up my redness/scars, but gentle enough to not irritate my face further was hard to find. I picked this up because it was cheap and oil free, and I am now on my second tube. WOW. I'm an NC30 and have this in "Sand" and it's a perfect match. It covers very well, lasts a long time, and it does NOT Irritate my face. It's also reasonably priced. I've since gotten my sister hooked on it as well. Seriously, for $6 try it out! It's worth it.

UPDATE: I just wanted to add that you need to apply this with a very light touch-a little goes a LOOOONG way. Just a couple of dots is all I need to cover the upper and lower parts of my eyes.

I just ran out of my crappy Covergirl concealer and was looking for something new. I saw this for about $6 and decided, hey, why not?
I actually love this stuff! I am a NC20ish in MAC, maybe a little lighter, and the Fair concealer was perfect for me. It did an awesome job covering up my dark circles, and blemishes as well! It also stayed on all day. I am really loving it so far! Just make sure you moisturize your face before putting this on, because I can see how it might cake if you don't. With the moisturizer though, it went on smooth and blended beautifully.
I have been wanting to try the Bobbi Brown corrector concealer, but until I can pay $20 to get some, this works just fine.

This is one of the few drugstore products I use (scratch that, i'm a snob, its the only drugstore product i use...that sounds terrible) and i love it. It covers both pimples and redness, blends out easily, and isn't sticky. Thats one of my most common complaints with concelers, the thicker ones (like stick versions) are so thick and sticky that they look obvious even under foundation. This one is perfection. I'll buy it over and over and over again.

I've been using this for two weeks now. I used Cream 4-5, and I agree that the color of the tube looks a shade lighter than the actual product inside.

This concealer does have a creamy consistency much like foundation but it definitely covers like a concealer (though don't expect it to completely mask anything). I use it to cover up redness and acne scars. It blends well with a soft-natural-looking finish. I especially like that it feels so light on my skin and has not made me break out. In fact, I think it's been better to my skin than the other makeup I was using. I'm definitely buying another tube when this runs out.
