Finally purchased this when farmers were having a massive sale on Maybelline products. I had heard amazing things about this concealer from everyone, so I had quite high hopes and expectations. The packaging is average, I find I have to twist for quite a while to get any product out and then when I apply it using the sponge tip nothing much comes out - yet my bottle looks half empty? not sure if its all stuck in the sponge top or what but I feel like this concealer won't last me more than a month if I'm lucky. It does an average job when worn, I place it under my eyes and find it sinks into my fine lines and any dry patches on my skin, it does a subpar job at covering my dark circles. Happy to have tried this and wish I loved it as much as everyone else appears to !

This is a very affordable concealer, good value for money that you can buy at most chemists and supermarkets. It has a unique sponge tip applicator which applies the product effortlessly. It is available in 12 shades and when used completely covers dark circles. It applies effortlessly and has a very thin texture to it which does not cake or look like you have a lot of makeup under the eye. You look bright and refreshed and I love it that it doesn't crease, even if you don't use a setting powder.
Tips: Use this as a foundation, just in the spots that need a bit of coverage if you want a bright natural look.
This concealer is fine. It is easy to use and at a great price point. It did however amplify my creases and it blended into nothing on dark circles. It may have been a shade issue but it didn't work with my skin.
Average coverage, if you’re looking for full coverage, you will need to use a corrector under the concealer. The formula is light weight but the sponge tip is hard to gauge how much product you put on.
Tips: Use a concealer brush and a wet beauty sponge to really press in. Definitely need to set with powder.
This concealer was easy to use and not bad for its price. Although it is supposed to be for dark circles, I found that it did not cover mine that well. It gave a light coverage so I used it for other parts of my face. Overall, it is not a bad product.
I don't want to give this product a completely negative review, but overall it's just not as good as other things out there.
These do come in a good range of colours so it is easy to find a match for your skin tone, but the formula is quite thick and sticky and it dries very quickly, making it hard to blend out and look natural on the skin.
The way that product is dispensed through a sponge on top of the tube is quite unhygienic to me, as the sponge is always wet with product and probably a good place for bacteria to breed. It's also quite wasteful as you can't control how much product comes out and lots of it sits in the sponge.
I read plenty of reviews raving about it so I decided to give it a try.
Just to let you know, I tried this after using Maybelline's FitMe concealer thinking they'd be as good but I was disappointed. I like the packaging and I like that the applicator is less messy than the wands that other concealers have. Texture is light and does not leave a gunky feel. However, coverage is just so-so. I suffer from dark undereyes so I need something that does an excellent job.
Maybe it's a big yay for others, but for me it's just okay.
I found that I didn't get a lot of product out of this, but it was super fun to use. I like the design and the formula and I would buy this again. I am not sure I found it to be very full-coverage though, which is what I need for my under-eye area.
I recently Picked up this concealer as it was something a little more affordable for me to use more often as I usually get the Nars concealer from Mecca.
I think it is decent for its price range and I love the applicator and design as it makes it easy and smooth to apply where necessary. I think it's great for when I'm going for a more natural look and don't want to apply foundation.
However, It does not have the best full coverage as I find I have always had quite dark under eyes since my early teens. Further, I don't know if its how I am applying it but it goes slightly orange closer to my bottom eyelashes but that might just be because of my skin type and slight oxidation of the product
I purchased this concealer due to seeing quite a few people on YouTube rave about how amazing this product is.
Firstly, I suffer from dark under eye circles and have only found two concealers that cover them up. So I decided pick this up online in the shade light because the last Maybelline concealer I tried wasn't that great for coverage.
The applicator is made out of sponge/foam material and surely it is a breeding ground for bacteria and all things nasty. I also found that it took forever to actually be able to get product out as it has a winder.
The product itself was very disappointing even though it has a lovely thick texture it provides me with minimal coverage. I found that it was easy to blend out and it didn't settle into any fine lines. I think the reason this didn't cover my under eye area was due to it being my skintone color and wasn't light enough to highlight my under eye area.
I wouldn't recommend this as a full coverage concealer on someone of my complexion but is great for a natural daytime look.
