Not quite worth the price...
-05.16.13
Quick Take: color correcting, full coverage, dull
I love experimenting with concealers...although not for the best reasons, I've got dark undereye circles and I'm always hunting for one that blows me out of the water. While waiting for my concealer to ship, I actually bought a Smashbox concealer for half the cost and the two are pretty indistinguishable. I found Anti-Cernes hard to blend / apply, and the lightest shade looks dead on my skin. I think this one may be a return for me as the price just isn't worth the decent results I got, as opposed to the mind-blowing results I was looking for.

good stuff
-05.05.13
Doesn't crease, creamy not cakey, perfect color for covering dark circles and redness, high quality, doesn't make the chicken skin under my eye look worse (like most concealers). Love it! Didn't know it would be this good. Best way to apply is to use your finger to warm the product a bit and the pat on the face/eye.

ATTENTION LADIES: This is without a doubt the best concealer on the market. It barely needs blending &, covers absolutely flawlessly to the point your skin looks like it has a healthy glow WITHOUT that heavy makeup look &, never gets cakey. Looks almost like bare skin

This is the best concealer I have ever used. It is very creamy and literally erases any imperfections with the lightest application. It also blends very easily. Well worth the price!

Quick Take: color correcting, creamy, crease resistant
I was looking for a better concealer for my eye area (I had been using Too Faced, Absolutely Flawless Concealer for several years.) I recently noticed that as the day wore on, and especially on hotter days, the concealer would look very unnatural because it would sort of bunch up in pigment and my skin beneath would show through. Obviously this is very unattractive so after reading all of the positive review, I went into my local Sephora store and tried it out.
It was a match made in heaven! It wears all day without change, the pigment is very rich and I need far less than I originally thought. During my first few applications, I realized that I really only need a small amount and yet the pigment is so rich that it covers so very well! I just use a sponge to smooth it out after spreading the color around a bit with my fingers.
The result is beautiful and I look absolutely natural. Though the price is a bit high for such a small amount of product, you really don't need much of it and the quality justifies the price.

Amazing
-03.26.13
This is a concealer that has a wonderful texture. You can use it with multiple formulas of foundations or on its own- it blends under the eyes, around the nose, on other imperfections rather seamlessly. You know how certain concealers look like they are sitting on your skin? Or other ones are too sheer - they offer no coverage? Not this one. It's good good stuff.

Great product! Worth the $$
-03.18.13
Quick Take: creamy, crease resistant, color correcting
The dark circles under my eyes aren't incredibly dark, but they were regular enough that I need a concealer for the first time in my life. After extensive internet research I settled on Yves Saint Laurent (despite the cost) and I'm so thankful I did! If you apply directly from the stick, you'll need to use your finger to gently blot the color in to creases. Otherwise, it's foolproof. No orange color and beautifully highlighting when used with Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (which I tend to use more often than Anti-Cernes). An essential piece of makeup for those who like an easy, foolproof, and efficient makeup routine.

Finally, a concealer that honestly WORKS!!
-03.13.13
Before I purchased Yves Saint Laurent I had tried many other under eye concealers such as Clinique, Smashbox, Lancome, Koh Gen Do--on and on and on--leaving me with a huge drawer full of useless products that left my dark circles still visible and my fine lines filled with a bunch of white colored zig-zags that ran back and forth beneath my eyes as if a tiny spider had woven her web onto my skin while having a nervous breakdown.
Now, even though my dark circles aren't so heavy that I look like a raccoon when I'm not wearing make up, they are noticeable enough that I can't walk around bare-faced without having someone ask me, "Are you o.k.?" Suffice it to say that finding something which would cover my circles without bringing attention to my fine lines has been a nightmare.
So now, the good news:
I love how creamy and soft this is to apply.
It glides on easily and never tugs on my skin..
It is long wearing, even with tears (dental work, don't ask!)
It doesn't fade, even if worn overnight (I'm not perfect)
It stays in place until you take it off.
So yes, this honestly and truly does cover up my dark circles. Beautifully. And although my fine lines aren't as deep as the grand canyon (yet) this product has given me the confidence to know that when other people look at me, what they won't see anymore is the stress of my life being etched across my face because my make up isn't doing it's job. Using this gorgeous product means that all they can see now is just...me.
By the way, I am a natural brunette, with green eyes and easy-to-blush fair skin. Because of this I chose the color of Pink Beige, which has worked out perfectly with my particular skin tone.

Finally a concealer that conceals!
-03.12.13
Quick Take: creamy, crease resistant, color correcting
I am so in love with this product. It goes on smoothly, lasts all day, and blends perfectly with foundation or BB cream. I have incredibly dark circles under my eyes and this is one of the only products I've found that provides perfect coverage, yet doesn't crease. And to boot, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks, YSL!

YSL VS Bobbi Brown
-03.11.13
Quick Take: color correcting, creamy, crease resistant
I was looking for a concealer to cover dark circles without inhancing the fine lines around my eyes. I bought both products listed above and by far the YSL was the best. It didn't settle into my fine lines around my eyes. However, the Bobbi Brown illuminating concealer did. The moral of this story is...if you are looking for a concealer that will cover dark circles that won't settle into fine lines then this is it!

It's Okay...
-02.27.13
Quick Take: dense
I wasn't wowed by this product referred to me by a Sephora rep at the Union Square location. Perhaps, I'm not a makeup genius when it comes to application. Although, she was extremely helpful and demonstrated how it appeared on my skin - which looked 10x better than when I applied it on my own after the purchase. This concealer is definitely dense as described. I'm not used to wearing this type of concealer other than the Givenchy Mister Light liquid concealer. Therefore, the texture of this concealer caused creases under my eye throughout the day - which I have to smooth out. Not to mention, it showed fine lines where I didn't even realized I have before! One thing's for sure, it does a pretty good job in concealing the dark circles but it's not what I'm looking for.

-02.26.13
Quick Take: creamy, crease resistant, smooth, blends well, great highlighter under eyes
I have been on the fence for awhile debating on whether I should buy this concealer due to the price. Well I finally took the plunge and so glad that I did. I bought the lightest shade and I just love this concealer. I put it under my eyes and it does not crease on me. The concealer goes on so smooth and blends really well on my skin. This is my go to concealer and I plan on purchasing more when I am finished with this one.

-02.15.13
Quick Take: crease resistant, color correcting, stays put
This is the most expensive make-up I have ever purchased and the ONLY product I have ever reviewed... It is amazing. The staying power is unbelievable and NO settling into fine lines. The colors offered will match lots of skin tones. Most concealers I have used in the past looked yellow by the end of the day, this one did not. Even stayed put through a funeral. I am NEVER switching. Worth every penny!

just fairly good
-02.05.13
This concealer is not bad. It covers most acne marks and partially covers my undereye circles, but it really doesn't last very long as the day goes on. I was very disappointed when I received it that the product is very skinny and short (not even the diameter or length of a lipstick). I got the lightest color which was a good match for my skin.
In all, I really can't justify paying thirty-something dollars for something that is just so-so.

-02.04.13
Quick Take: creamy
The texture is great and it doesn't feels heavy. The coverage is alright, I would say from light to medium. Not the best concealer but I like it. Would I buy this again? Probably not because I would like to try something since I'm not loving this concealer.

Quick Take: color correcting, crease resistant
I've used make-up for years now and somehow have been oblivious to the wonder of concealers. I've tried one or two really bad ones before but this one covers and delivers. It is a joy to apply it into my problem areas and under my eyes and just see my face transform into this near-flawless canvas. I couldn't rave anymore about this product, it's perfect.
