This product has been discontinued. If anyone can suggest a suitable alternative please let me know!
I found the stick very convenient for using while on the go for slight redness on the cheeks. I see that Clinique have brought out a very similar product. Looks a bit paler but maybe worth a try.

I have really red cheeks which I used to just cover up with vast amounts of foundation which gave a very heavy make up effect. With you're bluffing I can put a few swipes on my cheeks blend a bit with my fingers and the red in my cheeks is totally toned down.

I don't really feel that I need foundation with this.

A great product basically but I only gave four lippies because it sometimes moves about a bit on me.

I love a lot of Benefit products but this was a huge disappointment. I have pale skin with a lot of rosyness so I was hoping that this product would counteract redness, like it claims to do. However, it doesn't, it just looks yellow and is useless at concealing and does nothing to tone down redness. I should have known that something yellow wouldn't balance out redness because it is green that's opposite red on the colour wheel, not yellow.


I hoped there'd be something I liked about this product, as it's so expensive, but there wasn't. The consistency is thick and cakey and difficult to blend smoothly.


I have actually thrown this product away because it's so poor, a complete waste of money. There are far better concealers out there and, if you have a serious problem with redness, perhaps a green toned concealing product, or even just a fuller coverage foundation would work better.

Benefit is hit and miss for me.

I bought this to use on redness around my nose area. It's quite a soft, creamy texture and when putting make up over it, you feel as though it's just getting spread around, not staying where you need it.

The problem I had with this is that it really emphasized my pores and blackheads around my nose area. I just couldn't use it because it looks so bad.

I've never tried Benefit before, and was looking for a product to reduce the diffuse redness that I have with my sensitive skin. I'm combination, with pores across nose and cheeks. This product looks good for about a half hour, then just disappears. I tried the different ways of applying it - warm it up in fingers first, paint on whiskers and blend with brush, paint on whiskers then blend with moisturizer. It just doesn't last and makes me look greasy once it's gone. I returned it to the store.

Says it covers of reddness. It does it to a certain extent but not that great. It's real creamy- I apply using a conceal brush for best coverage. If you use your fingers, it's quite creamy so it rubs off quite easily as you're putting it on. Redness for me is better concealed with green concealer rather than this yellow one. I'm a NC30 asian. I like the packaging, it's cute an sleek but product runs out real quick due to it's creaminess. Also quite expensive for what it is.

I bought this concealer to cover up redness I get on my cheeks occasionally from Rosacea. Unfortunately I'm not impressed with it. It is very yellow, thick and cakey. The only way it covers the redness completely is if I layer it on which then looks terrible. Once I blend it, the redness becomes visible again.

I wouldn't recommend it and definitely wouldn't buy again.

I have really dark purple-blue circles under my eyes and don't know if I should be using a yellow or a salmon to conceal, but my mom picked this up and didn't use it, so I snagged it from her room. I love how creamy it is, and I think it works pretty well under my eyes. I've found a Maybelline concealer that's a perfect match for my skin tone (hallelujah!), which I dab on over You're Bluffing (when I use the skin toned concealer over my dark circles, they end up looking gray, but when I use it over the yellow concealer, they blend in with the rest of my skin). You're Bluffing also conceals the redness on my cheeks, nose, chin, and the blemishes I have at any given time. I also love the packaging! I do think it's pricey, but I would repurchase.

I am such a sucker for BF's gimmicky type products. I am always on the lookout for the perfect concealer and have bought quite a few products in my search. This is not my favorite concealer or even in the top three. I don't really like the look or consistency of it for the under eye area which is my main problem spot. However, I always try to find someway to use a product I've already bought and I find that I can use this to warm up the brow bone area-by itself or over my regular concealer. It gives a subtle brightening effect that makes my eyes look more lifted and refreshed. Don't use this over the entire eyelid as it creases.

i didnt really like this product
it had the right thickness to it but hated the yellowness of it, even though it is the point of the product. it is supposed to take away redness, but it only did this by covering it in yellow. you could do that with any other colour, its a bit stupid.
also, it tends to show my pores through it which looks really bad and gross.
and when i put my liquid foundation ontop, it speads around and its really gross
it feels a bit sticky as well haha
its too expensive for what it is, and you dont get alot, so i wont buy it again

ive been using this concealer sevel months, and i almost finish it. It is an okay concealer but not amazing. i use it to cover blemish and dark circle under my eyes, i can see difference after apply the concealer, but not that much. Maybe i should use brush instead of finger to apply this? anyway, the tube design is convenient. but i wont purchase again since there are so many concealers waiting me to try.

I bought this product to reduce redness, and that it does,but ONLY when I apply it a certain way. If I apply this with just the stick, or my fingers it will leave a dry patch on my cheeks where I have redness.But when I apply it with a concealer brush, and only swipe it on the cheeks, and not blend it in, until I apply liquid foundation with a stippling brush (then blend), then it works great. But if I dont do that whole process, then it looks dry and cakey :(

I use this on any blemishes I have. It doesn't blend very well for the undereye area. I like that it's yellow because it masks the redness but it does need to be covered by foundation after I blend it in.

This is great for covering acne because it seems to dry it out. I'm not positive about that, but it sure seems to. I took off a lippie because it does look a little cakey under foundation and it's difficult to blend.

I've been using this for about 6 months now, and I don't know why I continue to do so because this product is NOT my favorite concealer! It cakes on like nobody's business and the color is right, but it just doesn't stay on my blemishes, the product disappears right after I put it on, and hardly offsets the redness. The stick form is nice, and you do get a lot, but that doesn't mean much if the product doesn't perform!

Waxy, cakey looking, and doesn't play well with other face products!

It DOES deliver on the promise of reducing redness, but can only be used very, very sparingly. Otherwise you're just making a public announcement that you 'cover' some s**t on your face with other s**t on your face!

As far as color corrective products go, look into Makeup Forever instead.

I bought this product to cover up my my splotchy red cheeks.

Initially, I LOVED the results. No other concealer has so perfectly covered up the redness.

But.. the next day, my face completely flared up with a itchy, swollen rash that lasted for three days!

Also, this product is VERY greasy. It felt like something melted on my face. This product is probably not ideal for people who live in hot places!

For the high price, you don't get much! I scrolled the product all the way, and it was only about 1.5 inches or less!

Alright, when I first used this product I really loved it. The yellow does a good job at neutralizing red undertones (but I recommend using a green concealer if you are trying to cover up very red spots! Yellow is only useful for mild redness).
The stick does a good job and although there's very little product a small dab goes along way. Please make sure to blend in well with your fingertips. I usually sit by the window and look at the mirror afterwards too make sure the yellow has fully blended into my skin. I recommend using a brush and blending further if you can still see the yellow. At a price of 28 CAD, it's a bit expensive but not that big of a deal since it does do what it promises. However the big but is that it contains the ingredient bismuth oxychloride. This is something that is usually contained in mineral products (i.e. bare escentuals) because it gives you a bit of a shine/glow that makes your skin look healthy and vibrant, but the set back is that it will clog your pores and around 70% of women are allergic. so for that reason alone I won't recommend buying this product at all unless you want to take this chance. I'm currently looking for a better alternative-preferably a yellow concealer stick- so if anyone has any suggestions let me know!

I love this, it does a great job at neutralising red, pinky tones, without being noticeable. It's very creamy, blendable and not at all cakey. However, to neutralise all the red tones on my face, I do have to use quite a bit and fear that this will be gone in no time at all at the rate I'm using it now. But I will definately re-purchase, no other concealer I have used before has done a good a job as this!

This is a great concealer for covering up the tiny broken red capillaries around my nose. I swipe a little on each side, and it stays put all day. I don't use it on my undereye circles or anywhere else, but for the sole purpose of covering up the redness it is my HG product.

I love this product, definitely my favourite concealer ! Very smooth and natural looking, it lasts a long time. I really like the stick form because it makes the application very easy and quick. It's perfect for skin with yellow undertones. Love it!!
