Great stuff - and I've tried everything! - 11.17.09
Quick Take: crease resistant, flawless, easy-to-use

Love this product - goes on so easy, does NOT pool in lines and creases and is perfect as a coverup AND primer. I'm just not sure which shade I am.......I have tried all sorts of concealers, cheap AND expensive, and this one really is the best!

This works great! I have very thin skin under my eyes and have had dark circle since I was a child. This definitely reduces the dark circles.

Quick Take: crease resistant, creamy, color correcting

I use this product every time I wear make-up, which is almost everyday. It's wonderful. It keeps my shadows from creasing and lightens up any dark circles under my eyes. I've been using this product for about 7 years and I haven't found anything else that works as well.

BEST concealer I've ever used! - 11.13.09
Quick Take: crease resistant, creamy, water-proof, long-wearing

Having ghastly, dark under-eye circles that are hereditary means that my only option for dealing with them is covering them up with concealer.

I stumbled upon this concealer by chance while I was at an airport freaking out that I had forgotten my concealer at the time and had nothing to put on...and was going to have to look like a monster for the rest of the long day ahead. I scanned the airport for any makeup stores and the only one was Lancome, so I asked the girl for a concealer that matched my skin tone, and when she applied it I was FLOORED.

No concealer has ever covered my under-eye circles completely to where they're not noticeable anymore, but this stuff comes close. It's smooth, and you can build up the coverage, and on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of making my circles seem nonexistent, I'd give it a 9. LOVE this!

MUST have product! - 11.12.09
Quick Take: crease resistant, creamy, color correcting, blendable

This concealer is the best in my opinion. It doesn't cake or seep into fine lines or creases. You can use it elsewhere on the face. It blends beautifully and adapts perfectly to finishing or face powder. It's simply the best product I've ever used. I have very thin skin under my eyes and my veins are visible. Not with this treasure! I simply can't live without this product now. MUST have!!!

Quick Take: crease resistant, creamy

I truly thought I would never find a concealer that didn't crease but this is it. My only complaint is that I don't see any brightening. I sill need to use a brightener.

Quick Take: crease resistant, creamy, color correcting, waterproof, light weight

I have very white, translucent, Irish skin. One thing that always bothered me was having dark circles under my eyes. I tried other products and they were messy and didn't stay.

My mom loves Lancome so I decided to give this a try. It's amazing! I have been using it for over a month now. It applies really easily with a dab of cream (a lot goes a long way). It dries quickly to a matte finish. Completely hides my dark circles. Will not smear and it is very light weight. Blends well and is not noticeable. Also, it is waterproof! I have gone swimming with this on, and it stays put!

This product is the best and I plan to buy it again and again. :)

PS- If you are worried about the price tag, just go for it because it's worth it.

I use this everyday. It feels light but provides excellent coverage. I even use this over blemishes or redness around my nose. It has amazing staying power. I was unsure about buying it because of the price tag, but this little tube will last you quite a while. Definitely recommended.

For the price, it definitely disappoints. I expected a thicker product and one that could be layered -- I got neither. If you have very dark circles, I would skip this product. Although it may be fine for general under-eye brightening, it isn't for people with circles like mine.

I Love It - 10.29.09
Quick Take: creamy, color correcting, brightening and matte

Dark circles and eyelids make this a perfect fixer. It could be a little drying for those with dry skin. Those with oilier skin this will work great. I have very few wrinkles but must wear powder over my makeup for it to stay. With this I do not need to put powder around my eyes (as we all know make eyes look wrinkled and crepe-y). I love it, I am buying two this time. I have used concealer under my eyes for 20 years and this is by far the best I have used. They could charge more and I will still use. Please do not ever discontinue.

The Under Eye Concealer I've been Searching For - 10.29.09
Quick Take: crease resistant, creamy, color correcting, water proof!

What can I say? I LOVE this concealer! Since my days of awkward make up trials and tribulations as a teenager until now, I've learned to be skeptical when it comes to under eye concealers. I'm one of the lucky ladies on this earth to be born with genetic dark circles under my eyes. Throughout high school and college, I relied on a cakey drug store "quick stick" as my go-to under eye concealer. It was always a decent solution, but I still seriously yearned for a product that was lightweight, didn't cake and still covered well enough for me to hide my dark circles.
About a month ago I read other Sephora reviews on this product, I took a chance (while still skeptic)....and I finally found it!! I'm IN LOVE with this product! I found my ideal product that I was convinced for 15 years had not existed! Thank you Lancome and Sephora!
-oh, and it works for days at the beach as well- it's water proof!

Great Waterproof Concealer - 10.28.09
Quick Take: color correcting, non-smearing, long-lasting, waterproof

I have used Lancome EFFACERNES Waterproof Undereye Concealer for a few years, and it is the best undereye concealer that I have ever found. It goes on as a liquid, and quickly dries to become waterproof, non smearing. I also use this concealer to conceal facial redness or blotches. One tube lasts forever, or close to it.

Nice product, but not exactly "waterproof" - 10.24.09
Quick Take: crease resistant, creamy, color correcting, doesn't hold up in water, tube lasts forever

I have had this product for over a year now, which goes to say that it lasts a LONG time! You only need a tiny dot under each eye - even for someone like me who has hereditary dark circles. I purchased this at my local department store because this was waterproof and all summer I am on or around the water. The thing I found was that if it gets wet (from water or sweat - under sunglasses) it runs. Don't touch it, because it will rub off. I also found that after I apply it, it stays shiny under my eyes. I lightly dust over it with a matte powder. Otherwise the coverage is good, and I have had problems finding good coverage in a product, and, as I previously mentioned, it has lasted FOREVER! That more than makes up for the price, if that's a consideration. I say buy it, try it - unless you live in the water!

Goodbye darkcircles - 10.18.09
Quick Take: crease resistant, creamy, color correcting

I read all the reviews on this so i decided to give it a shot. I love it..its very creamy so if u do have driness under your eyes it wont show up. The coverage is excellent and it blends in so well. You only need a little bit so the tube goes a long way. I reccomend this product with anyway who had dark circles.

It's waterproof, but - 10.17.09
It is waterproof but it smudges into fine lines. I don't have much in the way of wrinkles and I have dry skin, but this gets into the fine lines around my eyes even though I use a tiny dot for both eyes. It works best over my foundation. The color is a little blue on my skin. It is best right by my lash line.
