This product is much hyped by beauty gurus on YouTube, so have been hunting everywhere for it. Its a great price-point, so I felt it was worth the risk on blind buying the lightest shade online. Well I did not expect to be as impressed as I am with this concealer! It has a sponge like applicator screw top, with a couple of clicks (quite a couple with a new bottle) you have a sufficient amount of concealer on the sponge tip to apply. The sponge is very soft, and doesn't feel like it is dragging the delicate under-eye area. The concealer is creamy, yet thick enough to provide good coverage on my under-eye circles. The only reasons I am not giving this full marks are; this creases quite badly. Its a pretty standard problem to have with under-eye concealers, just not one I had experienced before with my Revlon concealer. I will hunt down a good under-eye setting powder as my face powder doesn't really cut the mustard with this one. My second teeny issue is that on my fair skin the lightest shade is not brightening or luminous in any way (as promised). It would be amazing if they offered a few more shade options. Regardless this has become a must have for me, if only I could find a spot concealer that did as good a job as this!

Tips: On fair skin the lightest shade is a good fit, but not brightening in any way. If a brightening effect is what you were after I would suggest using another highlighting concealer such as Maybelline Dream lumi-touch on top of this concealer.
I really like this product. I've seen it being used on YouTube for a few years but I had no idea where to buy it from. When I saw it on beauty joint, I immediately purchased it.
I love the style of this concealer. It's in a simple tube but instead of a wand to apply it, it has a ball shaped sponge. Possibly this could be looked at as unhygienic but I did read somewhere about it that it is made to be anti fungal. I would recommend not leaving it hanging around in your collection for too long though just to be on the safe side. To get the product onto the sponge, you just twist the top and it clicks up the concealer. The concealer goes down evenly in the tube so you can see exactly how much is left.
I have this in the shade brightener illuminateur. It's a light skin tone color but on the pink side. On me, it's not super brightening but it does highlight a little and helps to conceal the darkness. The texture is on the thinner side but it seems very pigmented and it blends easily. I just use my finger. Sometimes I add another concealer on top to brighten more but I don't feel like it needs to be done. As long as I set this with powder, I don't get creasing for most of the day. Sometimes I have a bit at the end of the day.
I'd buy this again. And I'd recommend for others as well. I would like to try out one of the other colors o see how that goes.
Tips: Use your fingers or a sponge to blend out. A sponge will help to take any excess product off too.
I must admit I found out about this on YT & wanted ut from the reviews on this.However I failed to notice it was mainly youthful tubers using it that would most definitely have different lifestyles & skin to mine. Nevertheless I needed it.
A glass tube with a sponge end that winds to expose product. Quite convenient. It's a yellow toned fluid that's thin but pigmented & spreadable but not wet. It goes on smooth & gives you time to blend into skin. I find it doesn't have full coverge it it plays a part in the concealing routine. It can seep into fine line so a hydrating eye creme is needed to prevent this. Once setting the concealer it stays put all day no slipping. I still like this concealer but I don't go to it for full coverage I use it on days I'm just doing a light bbcream light look.
With its creamy consistency, it glides on smoothly and blends out easily. I use the shade "Golden Dore" which has yellow undertones and it instantly brightens my undereye. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the applicator.
Tips: Skin prep is key, make sure you moisturise well with an eye cream or face moisturiser
I’ve literally had 2 of these sitting in my drawer for a year unopened because both of the lightest shades still looked too dark for me. I bit the bullet and decided to try the pale shade and it was definitely the right shade and applied like a dream. I did use a separate sponge to blend it in as I ended up with too much on the applicator. It wears all day and looks absolutely natural. I have a leaky eye and always find my concealer separates on the corner of that eye except for one high end one that is quite heavy. This concealer is probably the best concealer I’ve tried and works really well on the face to cover blemishes too. I will and have recommended this to lots of my friends but unfortunately if you’re super fair I think the lightest shade would still be too dark. I do love a lighter concealer to brighten my under eyes but this is such a great product I can overlook the fact it’s the same colour as my foundation.
Tips: You definitely don’t need a lot of this product so there will be a bit of fiddling around to figure out how much to twist it to get the perfect amount on the applicator. This isn’t a big issue but I did waste a lot of product the first few times.
This is one of my go-to concealers, it's a nice and lightweight formula that doesn't mess with my psoriasis (unlike heavier options). It is simple to use by twisting to add more product to its inbuilt applicator, it's also easy to blend into the skin and with different foundations. Highly recommended, it's a great staple in everyone's makeup bag :)
I use this concealer all the time now, I find it super easy to apply and it offers a good & lasting coverage. Also good around eyes with no irritation.
I have under eye circles, they're not major but they are noticeable.
Firstly, the applicator is a pain to use. Would be much more efficient if it was in a pump bottle so you can see how much product you are using per application. I find I wind it and nothing comes out then some times too much comes out. When the right amount does come out, however, it is easy to apply.
I find it doesn't conceal amazingly but it is really good for highlighting. I use it everyday as a highlighter and find it gives me great results.
I would recommend this products to others looking for a reliable concealer to highlight with.
Tips: If you have acne prone skin probably best to stay away from this concealer as the applicator is quite unhygienic.
I have a real soft spot for this product. I don't like the applicator, like every other person ever but I do like the product. It's great if I want a lighter coverage (on my natural days) than my pro long wear. I found it light, easy to blend and brightening.
Tips: Take the soft tip off, apply with your fingers or a brush
I bought this recently on a trip to Australia. So jealous that even though they are just over the pond that they have access to so many different products that we can't get in shops! I have found seen this on Fishpond though if you are looking to purchase this from NZ. I picked this up in the shade Fair which actually works really well for me and has just a touch of peach in it for neutralising the under eye black circles.
I actually love the packaging of this. Nice and compact for travelling. The stopper in it pushes down and gets all the product from the sides. Yes it takes a wee while for the product to come up the first time, but make sure you take it slow so you don't waste any product. I know a lot of the people don't like the sponge on the top but I don't mind it, apparently it has anti-bacterial properties in it so it doesn't spread germs (I don't know if I believe that). I do think if you were to use this for blemishes though you need to make sure that you put it on your hand/finger first then on to the blemish so you aren't spreading the germs. But as this has a highlighting aspect to it I just use it on my under eyes.
The formulation of this is incredibly light and thin. It isn't full coverage, more medium to me. So if you are looking for something to completely cover this probably isn't for you. I think this has a lovely natural finish to it. I put it under my eyes and down onto the top of my cheeks. Brightens and covers my bags in a lovely way. I haven't found this to crease on me at all.
I'm not sure whether this is the miracle product everyone makes it out to be, but it certainly is good (for me at least).
