I got this BOGO from Target and I really love it. It only gets 4 lippies from me though only because they didn't have my shade... I think I needed one shade darker but it still works fine but a *tiny* bit ashy. Love that a little goes a long way and the illuminator works very well for me. Doesn't last ages and ages but works well and could be reapplied easily throughout the day.

I was looking for a concealer which was a liquid, and thin in consistency. I was at the local supermarket and couldn't test the concealer, but it appeared to tick those boxes, and was really cheap so i thought why not! (I also happened to be looking for a highlighter at that time too)

Despite being a bit too light for my skin tone, it worked out very well. I am sure there are better ones out there but i have to say it did tick my boxes of a thin in consistency, liquid concealer.

The highlighter on the other hand did NOT highlight at all!! it was such a waste of the product, i would have much rather they put double concealer instead of this! It didn't give me a glow as highlighters are meant to, and i found that it disappeared when it was rubbed into my skin!

I was also disappointed with the packaging when i realized the concealer is only contained in a 5cm long tube! (and the highlighter for that matter)

overall; the concealer was great! the highlighter was terrible! and for the price of the product i just would've expected double concealer.

Picked this up from the local supermarket a long with other cosmetics since I needed new products for my face. The closest color I could find to my skin was medium moyen. So I tried this and I like it. It's pretty good! I don't really need a highlighter, I wanted a good concealer but I couldn't find the right shade for me in the maybelline superstay range and the market had limited stocks so I ended up without this one. The color is too light for me because when it is blended in, it gradually turns lighter. But the coverage was good. It covered most of my flaws, I setted it with some powder to even out my complexion and I get this clean and natural, cake-free face :) as for the packaging, its not that special. It is just a double ended concealer and highlighter dual. It's not hygienic because the brushes will keep touching your face and bacteria will enter inside the product but I'm fine with
this. I wished they gave more product because it runs out too quickly! I wished maybelline made jut a concealer version of this in bigger packaging! But overall, I like it a lot and would purchase this again! :)

I wouldn't buy this again basically because the color Dark doesn't have any pigment in it. On my chocolate brown skin it leaves a white cast which is no good.

eh... i'm okay about this product. for one, it's the perfect product for 'on the go' girls, because it's so sleek and convenient to just throw in your purse. i have really bad dark undereye circles, so undereye concealer is technically a must in my daily makeup regime. i like using this because it's so easy, but at the same time the packaging (dual-ended tube) makes this practically impossible to share. i'm not saying it's good to share your makeup with someone else, but the thought of cross-contamination just makes me extra careful when using this on blemishes etc. what i do in that case is to dab the product on the back of my hand and then apply it separately using my ring finger or brushes (if i have any on hand).

This is the only concealer for my undereye area that I can use. It's a perfect consistency and I like the highlighter on the opposite end. The packaging is easy to travel with and is convieniant. However, I've been searching high and low and I think that this has been discontinued. The last time I seen it at walgreens, it was on clearance and I have yet to see it since. I went to Ulta today and sure enough, they do not carry it either. I really hope this has not been discontinued otherwise I will try Bobbi Browns undereye corrector. The maybelline website does still have this up as being available, but where? I have NOT seen it at Ulta, any of my local walmarts, Target, or CVS. It's one thing that I have not been able to find it at Ulta or walmart, but when no store that carries drug store brand makeup has this, it's too coincidental for me. My search must go on.

HG! I love, love, love this concealer :)

I have tried my share of concealers in my time. It feels like I've tried every variety from MAC, Laura Mercier, Revlon, Cover Girl, Lancome, Almay, Clinique... you name it, I've tried it.

This concealer completely covers my dark undereye circles. It's also light enough to blend in with my very fair skin. The lightest shade is a salmon-y color that really neutralizes the darkness under my eyes.

What I love most is the way it feels and lasts on my skin. Other concealers I find to be too oily, too dry, cakey, short-wearing, etc. I've never had an issue with my eye makeup transferring to my undereye with this stuff. It never looks fake, and I don't get ugly creases.

The best way I've found to use this is to first use the highlighter under my eyes, wait a minute, and then do the concealer. I find that I don't even need to set this with a powder (unlike others I've tried), although I do put just a touch only where I know I get creases and it doesn't budge.

The packaging isn't perfect, but it isn't bad. When I find that I'm not getting enough product out, I get a scissors or tweezers and pull out the little plastic things on/in the openings of the highlighter and concealer (sorry, I don't know how else to describe it!). Then, I can get out all remaining product.

Definitely try this stuff!

I found the concealer to be quite sheer. I only used it on undereye circles and only on casual, low makeup days as it didn't do much to conceal and faded away fairly quickly. I never really found a use for the highlighter end, although i tried it a number of times. it didn't really seem to do much.

This is not that bad, I like it more than my mac. I like that my eyeliner doesn't smear and melt into the concealer. It is buildable just tap more product. I am a NC30-40 for reference. If you use the illuminating side it is a bit creamier and it will make your makeup run. I put the illuminator on my cheeks and lip and nose to highlight. Not horrible for a drugstore concealer. I have owned lots!! I guess what I like about it is its not obvious you are wearing concealer. If you have yellow tone, you know how hard it is to match our skin. Especially if it is drugstore.

I saw this in one of my local drug stores (for CAD11) and thought I might give it a go. At first, I liked it. I liked it a lot. The formula of both the highlighter and concealer was creamy, smooth, and flawless. One day, I noticed some product was getting into the cap and onto the part you twist. I decided to ignore it. Bad idea! I ended up wasting product since the both ends kept over-flowing. You also don't get much product at all.

In conclusion, I don't really recommend this. To anyone. Maybelline's formula is as great as ever, but the packaging practically ruined everything. Give it a try(?)

i like this product, but unfortunately it doesnt stay on for long enough at all. i also like using the highlighter part as, well, a highlighter applying it to my nose, around it, around my lips, and some places on forehead, but having oily skin it just slides off after a while. it really is hard to get the product out of the rube, which is both a pain in the ass and waste as we end up throwing a lot of the product out with the packaging. its perfect for under eyes though, but not to cover imperfections on oily skin.

I brought this in the lightest shade. For the price of the concealer where I live, I was a bit disappointed with how long it lasted me. I had to toss it out since it's been used up, but I think I only had about 3 weeks worth of use for it? (using daily) - but I think the packaging's to blame since it makes it nearly impossible to scrape all the concealer around the inside of the tube. As for the concealer, coverage is light. If you have darker circles, I would avoid this because you might be disappointed. The formula is semi thick and it sort of settles into the lines under my eyes. It's also good for redness around nose, but horrible at concealing my blemishes. The highlighter is pretty useless for me. It didn't look like it actually "highlighted" anything on my face.

I've finished this concealer but not going to repurchase. It comes with both concealer and highlighting side, but I barely used the highlighter end since I didn't find much use for it. As for the concealer, coverage is sheer and not very build-able. My dark circles aren't so bad so this provided some decent coverage and also with the redness around my nose. Doesn't cover blemishes at all!! The formula is creamy so blending wasn't a issue however for the amount you pay you get very little product per tube. It becomes harder to dig into the tube to get the product since it can't be depotted. Also, it has limited shades (only three I think), so might be hard to find a good match.

I was out shopping for a concealer and I found this one and I loved it!!! It's sooo creamy and for me I can get away with the the highlight side!! It was on the spendy side and you only get a little bit though!! This concealer covers dark circles completely you can't even see them when your done!! And plus it's so handy to just stick in your purse!! So yea thank you for reading my review!!:D -MallDoll99

I was looking for a concealer and to my surprise, I saw this for $2. Since the colour selection was so limited I ended up getting a light (tried it on in the washroom, too light) and went back to purchase the medium. I sadly, barely use either now.

The concealer is has a creamy consistency. It seems to have a medium coverage but after a few hours I find that it emulsifies. It creases under the eyes as well. No matter how much powder I set it with. I've only used the highlighter a few times, it goes on much too light. I used it under the eyes.
I find that after applying this over pimples it aggravates them. I use it now only on really dark acne scars.

The main thing I like about this is the convenience factor. You can fit this into a small purse for touch-ups throughout the day.
I am an NC42 and bought this in the darkest shade. Sadly, if you are any darker than me, there will not be a color for you due to the limited range. One side has a more neutral brown concealer with a doe-foot applicator, while the other end has a more liquid-y orange-toned highlighter which has brush-tip applicator. This side matches my skin pretty well, but I'm not sure why it's called a highlighter when it just goes on like a foundation. My biggest gripe is that this liquid-y side gets messy and the product kind of spills out when you pull the brush in and out. Since there isn't much product in the tube, this ends up wasting a lot of it.
The pigmentation isn't very high, and it's more of a portable foundation or touch-up pen than anything else. This has light to med coverage so if you need heavy concealing or need to conceal large areas, this will not be enough. It creases under the eye, but so does every other concealer.
While its performance as a concealer is a bit weak, this is super convenient and I use it all the time. When I'm I'm a hurry, I brush a little of this under my dark circles, powder my face and look instantly brightened. It's faster than my regular concealer which I squeeze onto my hand, brush on, pat in and blend, which takes forever.
Bottom line: average product in a very convenient form.

Okay, heres the deal. I bought this concealer when I saw it on 75 percent off at CVS and I had high hopes because one of my top beauty gurus on youtube, glintzy, had been raving about it. I got it in light which is an overall great match for my skin tone.
Let me start off with the packaging. At first, I really liked it. It was easy and functional. Then the side with the highlight got all weird and started like over spilling and leaking and just getting everywhere where you screw it shut. Thats what needs to be fixed about the packaging.
The reason why I only gave this 2 lippies is because...well, I would apply it and everything was dandy. It covered my acne, and dark circles, and all that tasty stuff. I set it with powder and it didn't cake up. Everything was peachy, until about an hour after application. When I checked my face after only about an hour or two of wear, it had completely creased- and I mean like EW. It looked patchy and cakey and all globbed up in my fine lines. My blemishes weren't even concealed anymore.
The highlight, to be honest, isn't that bad. I use it as a base for my less pigmented powder highlighters.
If I use an eyeshadow primer under the concealer, it doesnt crease quite as bad- just maybe after 4-5 hours of where, which I can live with.
All and all its an okay product, but I will not be repurchasing.

I have been using this product for a week and the results are in. It's coverage is medium only if applied over Foundation. On its own it does not work well and the coverage is thin.
It also burnt the skin on sides of my eyes and it irritated my eyes too. Now I've got an aching skin in the face and I'm certainly not impressed. Will not be buying again. Oh and by the way highlights don't do anything either.

I actually like this product on top of a foundation. However when used alone it is nothing special.

When concealers are in wand they tend to be light coverage but for a wand concealer it is pretty medium coverage. If i use it alone i look washed out and ashy but with foundation looks nice. i can only use this concealer on days when im not too tired or dont appear tired.

I think you can get it at duane reade for 5 bucks since its 40% off. not sure though if the sale exist

PROS:
-Medium coverage
-Has a highlighter but i dont use it
CONS:
-Barely any amount of product
-3 shades

EDITT: I hate the color selection, gives me reverse racoon and there is something i dont like about this so im not using it again
