Perfect for under eye circles. Doesn't cake up on any of my fine lines and covers my dark circles, perfectly. Has a nice creamy texture and I love the packaging. I don't apply this to acne marks, instead I use a MAC concealer. I choose this for under my eyes because I have trouble with the MAC Concealer caking up in my fine lines and I find it too drying for the eye area. I also find this concealer long lasting, considering I have oily skin. Very impressed it last me all day without touch ups - once I set it along with my foundation with a little powder.

This is a good concealer IF YOU WANT YOUR CONCEALER TO LAST 5 MINUTES!!! it blends well and all and it matches my skin, its not too DRY but it lastes NOTHING AT ALL. so no, never will buy this again. Really mad about this. Still on the search for concealer
UPDATE: If you apply it before foundation and set it with powder mayyyybe u might be able to make something out of this if you already have it, its working for me, althout I still need to re apply it as we all know.

I'm not sure about this concealer. I have shade 002 which I thought would be a good match. However I'm finding that it's too dark for my blemishes yet too light under my eyes. Also, when I did try it on my blemishes it went quite dry and cakey. It applies more smoothly under my eyes though. I do like the packaging... I think I'm going to have to play with it some more. For my current budget it was rather expensive. To be honest I get better results with a concealer I bought for £1.

Bought this in medium-deep. Creamy and very blendable. Works great for under-eye circles, but not so great in covering redness from acne- the coverage is a little too sheer. Don't think this has *caused* any breakouts, but does only an okay job covering them. Packaging is nice and durable, and you get a decent amount of product. Ultimately I wouldn't buy this again since I'm looking for something that's more multi-purpose for my use.

I'm an nc30 and the shade "medium" is a perfect match for me. I use this concealer only to cover redness and blemishes. Formula is super creamy and easy to blend. I always set my concealer with MUFE's hd powder. Def would repurchase.

I own this concealer in Medium deep which I primarily use for under eyes circle and eyelid discolorations. The concealer is very creamy and pigmented. I swipe the product on my eyes and blend it with a cocealer brush. It gives medium coverage. It lasts all day and doesnt slide with oil and sweat which is a common prob with me. I recommend this to people with mild dark circles. Last but not the least, I love the packaging. However, I will not buy it again as it doesnt hide the dark circles completely.

I bought this product almost a year ago and there is still a considerable amount of product left! The texture is extremely smooth and creamy and has relatively heavy coverage (only a small amount is needed to cover moderately severe dark circles). There are traces of shimmer distributed throughout the concealer; this helps brighten the under eye area slightly, but accentuates dry, flaky, or wrinkled skin. The packaging a sturdy and the secure, but because of it's lipstick like packaging, it is slightly insanitary, especially if you apply it directly onto your face - thus I either recommend applying this product with your fingers (I find this to work even better than applying from the package, because it warms up the product.) or using a brush. The lasting power is moderate, but if you were to set it with a powder, it should double the lasting power immensely. Overall, the coverage and texture are great; the price and packaging are average.

Very creamy and easy to blend but the coverage is pretty sheer. It's also shimmery which is kind of weird... And it accentuates dry patches like crazy. Meh.

I got the one in Medium 04. I think Revlon PhotoReady concealer really does the job. It's not the best concealer but it covers up your dark circles if you layer it. It has an SPF 20 which is a good thing since it protects your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. I also notice that it has a tiny bit of shimmer when you put it on your skin but I think is unnecessary for a concealer. This product is formulated for taking photos and I think it is true from what it claims for. Overall, it's a good drugstore concealer.

i have mine in light and i usually just use it under my eyes(although it has held up on my, far and few between, blemishes) i love it. its creamy and smooth. it doesnt pull at my skin or feel too greasy. the coverage is medium to full. and it blends incredibly. i have neutral skin so it sometimes looks a little yellow. but like i said, it blends to be flawless. the packaging looks so sleek and expensive. all the revlon cosmetics are packaged so nicely.

anyone who hasnt tried this concealer, you need to!

This concealer didn't impress me. Revlon for me is often a hit or miss brand. I often get breakouts and this concealer didn't cover well at all. It also set into fine lines around my eyes within a matter of minutes. I will not be purchasing this one again. Revlon's liquid concealers are much better than this cover stick.

I have this in Medium
I was really surprised when i first tried this because it was SO smooth!!! I really love this concealerrr
I'm asian and pretty tan so my darkcircles are dark and gross and really bad :( so i never had a concealer that covered it!
But this concealer really does the job! and i found that it works best when you use your fingers because the heat melts it right into the skin. I set it with skin colored eyeshadow and it stay really well :)
I highly recommend this for the covrage, easy application, smooth finish, and staying power! :D
btw i'm in my teens... but i have small wrinkles so my concealers crease on me but not too much with this concealer! so thats a plus :)

When I first saw this product I was so excited to buy it being that i am a big fan of revlon, but honestly it sucked. I have pretty bad dark circles and it does not even cover a little bit up. I don't think its oil free because the label does not say that. Its really pricey too i payed 10.00 for it at Walgreens. Definitely won't be buying this product again!

I felt that this concealer was creamy and easy to blend, HOWEVER, just like the rest of the "photoready" line; this had glitter/shimmer in it. I hate glitter in my face products such as foundation, concealer, powder, etc. If you don't mind glitter, go for it!(:

I wanted to like this concealer. I liked the packaging and thought that the formula was creamy. What I did not like however, was the shimmery-ness of the concealer. I did not like how dry my skin felt after application despite the initial creaminess of the concealer, and it did not provide good coverage. Returned it the next day. Trying coastal scents camouflage palette next.

I really needed a new concealer because I was out of my old one that I did not like, *ahem* Almay Wake Up concealer, I found this product on whim and I'm the second lightest shade and it matches me perfectly. I really like this concealer and I actually use this as my foundation instead of liquid or cream foundation. I find it last a good deal because I do have oily skin and I set it with powder. It gives me nice coverage and very well pigmented, my only complaint and why Ingave this product a four is that you don't get a ton of product which is my only drawback but it is still the best concealer I have used. A total must have in my makeup bag!!!!

I heard a lot of good things about this concealer on youtube, so I decided to buy this even though I prefer liquid concealers. The packaging was pretty good in my opinion (Twist to have the product go up), easy to apply, it had a creamy texture. BUT that's where my mixed feelings start: The creamy texture was the part where I wasn't sure if it was going to work, but it did. It blended perfectly, but after a while you could see it started to crease. And I have normal to dry skin to SUPER SUPER SUPER dry skin, but it made my skin look even more dry. You know in winter, when your lips turn dry, you can see the flakiness and even some dryness on the skin around the lip? Yeah, that's how the areas of my face looked in which I applied the concealer. Even after that, I still wanted to give it a go, but It's not for me, because a few weeks ago I had a pimple right smack in the center of my nose, it was pretty red, so I decided to cover it with the stick concealer since everyone was like "It works on blemishes/pimples/acne but not the under eyes", and it couldn't cover the pimple. Even subtle redness on my face. And I have really stubborn, dark undereyes. And I don't mean the kind where it looks sort of greyish, compared to them, I look like a panda. They are dark with wrinkles under them (probably from lack of sleep). IT DOES NOT COVER THE UNDEREYECIRCLES. I don't know why everyone is so mad about the glitter in all the photoready products, you can't see them in natural light. It gives you a glow, a good glow, not the kind where you look blinding. Even though I don't like this concealer, I do like the photoready foundation, it's amazing! Gives a natural look and good coverage.

I really, REALLY wanted to love this concealer stick but it let me down. I adore the packaging and the fact that it is stick form which I much prefer to other formulas when it comes to ease of use. Unfortunately it just slides right off my face and I've tried several ways of application to keep it on. I don't have any dark circles, just one or two spots of sun damage on my cheeks that need a little extra covering but this formula will just not adhere to them. :(

I have mixed feelings with this concealer. The texture is wonderful. It's soft and glides onto your face perfectly. It lasts all day for me and the coverage is fairly good, and it feels like you're not wearing anything after applying.

However, I can't get past the glitter that was added in this product. I wore it one evening and my friend asked me "Why's your face all glittery?!". I didn't know it was that bad. I started paying more attention to the glitter when it was exposed during the day time and it was quite noticeable for me, so I stopped using it completely.

I will not be repurchasing this product, but if Revlon did not incorporate the glitter specks, this would have been my favorite drugstore concealer, hands down!

I'm on the hunt for a great concealer. This was raved by Beauty Broadcast's Emily so I was really excited to try it.


BUT, it was a big disappointment. When I applied the product to my problematic areas (redness around my nose, mouth and acne), it just emphasized my pores, smile lines and my acne... everything.


_____________
Pros:
- creamy texture
- applies nicely
- packaging makes it easy to use
Cons:
- emphasizes dry areas
- doesn't conceal well- defeats the purpose!
