This was the first concealer I ever tried and at the time I didn't think it was too bad. Since then I've tried many different concealers and I've realised that this e.l.f. concealer did hardly anything. I purchased this many years ago, before highlighters were a big deal like they are today. So I didn't use the highlighter side of this very often, but from what I remember it only had a very slight shimmer to it. Sometimes I would use it to try and brighten my under-eye area, but it never did anything that noticeable.
Both the concealer and the highlighter were very thin and almost watery in consistency. It almost feels like it should be marketed as a BB cream with light coverage, not a concealer that is meant to be more full coverage. Because it was so thin, it was always very easy to blend into my skin. I used this concealer on my under-eye area to cover a small sun spot and any darkness caused by tiredness. No matter how much I applied it was never able to cover the sun spot up. The only thing it did was add a bit of colour to my skin. My foundation did a better job of concealing my skin than this concealer did.
The price of this was very good for a product where you get both a highlighter and a concealer. But this is one of those situations where you get what you pay for. It just wasn't an effective product so I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to a friend.
Maybe I got the wrong colour for me but this did not blend well on my skin. The concealer was too light for my skin. And the highlighter would come across looking scaley and making my skin look dry. It was cheap and I got it as a quick fix to my absent highlighter problem. Good to have as a back up
Tips: Use the highlighter sparingly
