Good basic product
-05.12.13
Quick Take: full coverage, concealing, refreshing
I've been using this product for years now and am still pretty well in love with it. The only one I've found better is the Yves Saint Laurent Touché Éclat. But for the half the price, I've stuck with Clinique. The concealer makes under eye circles disappear, and makes you look awake and fresh, even when you've pulled an all nighter, and in general makes under eyes look great. I only gave it 4 stars because the Yves product is superior, but again, this does the job, and then some. I was warned by the sales lady long ago though not to use it as a general concealer for blemishes. Since it highlights, it will highlight blemishes, not hide them. Great for under eyes...not so much for blemishes. Oh, and this has virtually no smell at all for those sensitive to smells. Clinique has always worked well for my skin, and this is no different.

Pretty good Product
-04.27.13
Quick Take: lightweight
Needed a replacement from my Almay concealer ... I do like this a lot. It's smooth and creamy without being heavy or oily at all. The color/coverage are great even though there are only three choices it really seems to work for my skin. My only concern is how long this is going to last - I've been using one month so far but it just seems like such a small amount so we'll see. Happy customer

Quick Take: non-drying, lightweight
The best concealer I've purchased for covering my dark circles. The pink tones in the lightest shade make this comparable to YSL's iconic Touche Éclat in Color 1 for a fraction of the cost. Handy, since it makes it cost-effective to buy one for my personal use and one for my professional kit. It isn't full coverage by any stretch, but hold up--the strong peachy pink tones in this product make it very effective at canceling out blue, such as the blue in under eye circles and upper lip shadows. The resulting effect is skin that still looks like skin, but with the unwanted blue tones lifted out.

A staple
-04.13.13
Quick Take: non-drying, lightweight, blends well
I would say this is a lightweight, sheer coverage concealer - *except for under eyes* - it does cover dark circles and wrinkles. I still need a heavier concealer for blemishes or acne scars. It doesn't settle in to lines. I like it way more than YSL touche elcat, which I have bought several times and had issues with the product just leaking out all over through the brush. what a mess.

Hides Dark Circles
-04.12.13
I've had really bad dark circles my entire life, mostly as a result of heredity but compounded by severe allergies, so I was looking for a great concealer to help disguise them. This is definitely it! When I first put it on, I honestly thought I didn't look like myself without my dark circles! The color (04 neutral fair) is perfect for my oddly pale, olive toned skin. It's smoothing and doesn't settle into lines (which allergies have given me at the ripe old age of 21). It can be really sheer or opaque, depending on how much you put on, but it's never cakey. The brush isn't my favorite - I just dab it on in a triangle shape under my eyes and blend using my fingers anyway. It's also great for covering up redness and veins on the eyelids, but it's not sticky enough to work as a primer. I only really use it on my eyes since it's a bit light to use on the rest of my face - I also prefer something more opaque for acne marks. I will definitely buy this again since my dark circles aren't going anywhere!

Quick Take: full coverage, lightweight, non-drying, covers dark circles, dpesn't settle into lines
Great product! Good coverage, easy application, does what it promises. The only down side is that you can't tell when it is low so you randomly run out one morning.

I like this concealer. The medium color is perfect for me. It's retractable so no waste and little mess. Easy to use, very blendable, stays long. 'Nuff said.

Fine lines? They are under controlled
-03.21.13
Quick Take: full coverage, non-drying, lightweight
I bought this concealer 5 monthes ago and been using it everyday and night when I go out. I tab it on the back of my hand and use my wedding finger tab it under my eye and gently blend. It DOES NOT shows those lines under eyes. It doesn't dry out and cake up, it doesn't dry too fast that you have to hurry to blend it, it IS a light reflector!!! I used it for my engagement photo and it was natural. i bought Neutral for my Asian skin tone. Very recommend this one!!

Excellent concealer
-03.08.13
Quick Take: smooth, lightweight
This concealer provides excellent dark circle coverage. It blends right in with my skin, it is NOT yellow-y like the drug store brands I tried. My favorite part is the twist dispenser and the soft brush applicator -- it really goes on light as "air."

Not bad.
-03.04.13
Quick Take: lightweight, non-drying
This product is really easy to use, it brightens under the eye, but it can be sort of sheer. I combine it with the bobbi brown corrector to conceal my dark circles better. It's a nice concealer but It's nothing too special and you could probably find many others like this one.

eh...
-02.26.13
Quick Take: lightweight
I purchased this concealer for the very specific things it claims to address, i.e. brightens darkness under eyes and softens fine lines. For reference, I'm 27 and I am just starting to see fine lines under my eyes and heredity gave me light/mild darkness in the corners underneath my eyes. We're not talking deep creases or heavy dark circles. My experience with this concealer has been rather disappointing. Although it does somewhat brighten my under eyes, it does not really "conceal" or correct the discoloration - just draws attention away from the problem area. Also, I've noticed that, regardless of how quickly I blend, the product settles into the very fine lines under my eyes and it's pretty noticeable. Overall, not terribly impressed and I will not purchase this product again in the future.

The perfect under-eye concealer!
-02.23.13
Quick Take: full coverage, lightweight
Both my mother (in her late 40s) and I (in my 20s) use this concealer. It erases our the purple-ness under our eyes and truly makes our eyes stand out more. The best part is that it goes on super smoothly -- the brush bristles are extremely soft. It is both lightweight and provides full coverage of dark circles.

Amazing!
-02.13.13
This concealer is perfect for under eyes because it brightens up the area so well that I even use it to highlight my nose sometimes. It blends well and never creases. I love the click pen because I don't waste nearly as much product as I usually do!

Really does illuminate your skin
-01.24.13
Quick Take: non-drying, lightweight
I use this in my dark areas: around the nose, sides of the mouth, chin, and undereye areas. I can definitely tell that it illuminates the areas I've applied to. Very very glad I purchased this after seeing it in Lisa Eldridge's videos (she looves it). It is not full coverage, so it's not good for covering acne. But it is VERY good for lightening up areas that are too dark. Quite lightweight, but I noticed it does cake up after a couple hours, like say...5 hours. I get oily easily if I put on too much makeup though.

Under Eye Miracle
-01.18.13
Quick Take: non-drying, lightweight, illuminating, under eye converage
So, although this is a concealer, I think one of the best uses for this product is as under eye illuminator and dark circle coverage. It isn't enough coverage for me, on red spots or zits...BUT..it is great coverage for uneven skintone/pigmentation. Under eyes, it reflects light in a way that really does make your eyes look brighter while also looking very natural. I'm a big fan.

This is the perfect concealer to wear when you're on the go because it blends smoothly and you can apply it with your fingers. It's long lasting and looks natural. I use it mainly under my eyes and around my nose. It leaves my face looking light and fresh. I love it!

Love, LOVE this product!
-01.15.13
Quick Take: ligthweight, creamy, blendable, red-reducer
IMO this product is so worth the price. Provides perfect lightweight coverage. I mostly use it to cover my red blotchy patches under my cheeckbones and on the bridge of my nose. Also works as a highlighter, dark eye concealer & will even the tone of your eyelids if you want to get rid of redness there. Really does have so many uses.
I was skeptical of the colors at first, but the Neutral Fair blends seamlessly into my skin.
