At first i thought this was IT. You know, that product so perfect you'd never even think about trying anything else - nothing could be better. It was a lovely creamy texture, and the colours matched my skintone perfectly and blended easily. But after a few hours into the day i glanced in a mirror, and knew that this product was definitely nothing special. It had dried up and gone flaky, chalky and horrible. I've never worn it again - I threw it out.

I like the concept of concealing and then blending to match the skin, but the colors in this duo were ridiculous. I find it hard to believe that anybody's skin-tone is a match for the natural shade, and the yellow is too thick and colorful to blend in without making me look like a clown.

This my first ever concealer, I think. I have it in yellow/light. It's a wonderful concept, to cover purple undereye circles with yellow. It's important, though, to blend enough so that you don't see yellow when you look at your skin. I think the light color matches me skin well; however, the formula seems to be too dry. It's a decent concealer, but not amazing.

I got this in yellow/light. it was way too light for my skin, but thats my own fault, not the products. i do wish that they had a better color selection though.
Staying power seems decent, but it didn't cover my undereye circles at all. It did a better job on a pimple I had. The texture is good, a little on the dry side.
I like the packaging, but it would be nice if less product came out on the wand.
I got it on sale and with a coupon, so I think it was worth it for the price I paid (around $3.75) but I don't think it is worth anything more than $5.
Since it didn't cover up my undereye circles, which is what I bought it for, I'm giving it a two, since it at least did ok on a blemish.

I received this free when I purchased the Mineral Wear Pressed Powder compact - and I actually like this more than the powder, which was my target purchase! I got this in yellow + light. My usual undereye concealer is MAC Moisture Cover and I find this comparable to it in terms of quality. The Physicians Formula is a bit dryer and thicker, and I find the coverage of this fuller than the MAC. The yellow portion of the wand is fantastic for hiding my dark undereye circles. I've tried wearing this concealer with eye cream underneath and without, and I find that it works best when applied to bare skin - it didn't cake or settle into fine lines this way. I also tried layering the 2 colours as recommended by the instructions, but that was just too heavy and cakey. The "Light" alone is a tad too pink for me, but I mixed the two colours together on my fingers before applying to get a better colour match. I've also mixed a dab of the yellow with my MAC Moisture Cover to both thicken the Moisture Cover and add more yellow to it, which is how I wear this nowadays. If there was a 1/2 lippy, I'd give this a 4 1/2... it's nearly perfect, but there is the issue of the tiny amount of product that is in the tube. When I run out of this wand, I will definitely repurchase the yellow concealer on its own. This was a great accidental find!

It does not seem to cover my super dark eye circles enough but so far it has been one of the better products I have bought. I dab the yellow first, blend with my finger, then put some neutral over it and blend together with my finger. Unfortunately by the end of the day it has faded and creased due to drying out which maybe be my skin's fault. However, for the affordable price, I would recommend giving it a try.

I have yellow undertones and love yellowish powders as it brightens up my skin, but i'm not really that happy with this product. Using the yellow concealer for my undereyes was a bit too 'yellowish' & when i dab the natural colour on top of it, everything just comes up too cakey. I tried using it when my moisturizer is wet, dry, with still the same effect. I really want to like this product, but it is quite hard to blend without it caking & flaking.

I love this product! The yellow side covers up my undereye circles wonderfully, and the natural covers my zits. I like the sponge applicators a lot. Works very well and is inexpensive from Target.

I love this! It works great for covering up my undereye circles. I find the concealer part works best, I dab a little under my eyes then smooth it out with a foundation sponge. Best of all, it was only .99 cents at Big Lots!

I like it very much. The only thing is, I used the natural side up and still have a lot of yellow left. It is a great product for dark undereye circles.

This is actually a great concealer, probably the best one in the drugstore, if you learn the technique. I have awful and frequent undereyes that make me look tired and overworked -- a little of this concealer gives me an instantly fresh and 'alive' look. For undereyes: first dot on a very small amount of the yellow, particularly right up near the lash line, and pat straight in with your fingers. Then, with a thin brush, very gently blend downward and outward. Let it set before proceeding. Then create a row of dots with the neutral skin tone concealer, right near the lash line like eyeliner. Pat in until you have a natural finish. then Add a little more blush to create a natural look. It really does work.

I agree with all of the previous reviewer's points. Layering on two different concealers makes it more susceptible to creasing and caking. The neutral shade is fairly good--I'd rather have a full tube of this than the yellow side. It's just too yellow to look natural. There are creamier concealers out there but this would work in a pinch.

A pointy stick of yellow concealer on one end, capped by a clear bayonet cap, and a wand of creamy concealer on the other end. The yellow is supposed to counteract the purplish blue of dark circles. The yellow is a bit hard to blend but the point shape makes it easy to get into the corners of the eye. The wand shadow is a bit chalky white looking. Hard to use without that barn-owl effect. Nice idea, a good concealer for a drug store brand, but a bit hard to use.
