nice - 03.06.10
Quick Take: lightweight, non-drying

I bought this because of the positive reviews and i must say that so far i think it's worth it. I was having a lot of creasing with other brands and i was having a problem with blending and it made the skin around my eyes look dry and wrinkled. This doesn't have full coverage but it does make the skin look better and has way less creasing than other brands i've tried. I'm fair and got it in 00. I like it.

Better than Touche Eclat - 02.02.10
Quick Take: lightweight

I have tried just about every concealer Sephora sells and finally I found one that's perfect. Touche Eclat was excellent, but #2 was too light and #3 was too orange and I needed a better color match. I got this in shade 2 and it's a perfect match for my medium skin, and I actually prefer it to Touche Eclat. On days I don't want to wear make up I just put moisturizer and this under my eyes (I have horrible dark circles) and I look fresh-faced and no one can tell I'm wearing any make up at all. I also have very thin, crepey undereye skin, and most concealers just cake up and make it look so much worse. This one does not at all. It's very lightweight and blends in beautifully.

If you're a fan of Touche Eclat but you're that missing shade between 2 and 3, try this. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent concealer - 12.24.09
Quick Take: full coverage, lightweight, non-drying

I've tried many concealers. This is the best by far. It looks natural, blends well, and doesn't ever settle into creases. It's worth the price. I use it to conceal under-eye shadows. You can also put a dab under your brow to help brighten. I plan to use it forever. No desire to try anything else again.

It works - 12.23.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-drying, light coverage

I think this product is good not great. In other words when I find something better (Yves Saint LaurentTouche Eclat is certainly not better and perhaps a bit worse) I will quickly defect to another product. No loyalty here. This is my second time purchasing it and well I use it more to cover up imperfections than as a concealer. For someone with dark circles this is way too light.

dark circles be gone! - 10.06.09
Quick Take: full coverage, lightweight, non-drying

After going on the hunt for the ideal foundation, I've used Clarins for the last 2 years, so I'm obviously happy. This concealer is just as good and is a perfect match- not chalky.

Good stuff, wrong color. - 09.29.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-drying, good for acne-prone skin

This color was too dark for me, it looked dirty on my skin. I had the 01 already, but thought the 02 might be better for summer (I'm fair-light). The texture is very smooth and light-you might not like this if you are going for heavier coverage. I like it especially for under-eye highlighting. The price may seem high, but the tube I have has lasted more than a year (I don't use it every day, mind you). I will buy this again when mine runs out.

Great Product - 09.02.09
Quick Take: lightweight, smooth

I love this product. My friend who is a makeup artist recommended it. I have used it for years now. I use it under my eyes and on my lids before a light translucent shadow. Gets rid of those bags under the eyes perfectly! Smooth, lightweight!.

Good Concealer - 08.07.09
I really like this as a concealer for my eyes. It does everything very well, from hiding the dark circles to providing decent coverage. My only problem was that I felt I had to reapply it frequently (every three hours or so) and double check for creasing.

Best concealer I've tried so far - 08.03.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-drying, non-creasing

I've tried many concealers for my dark circles (hereditary) and they either don't provide enough coverage or they crease and cake really bad. Although my dark circles don't look 100% banished, my eyes look well rested without looking loaded up with make-up. I am fair with yellow undertones and find 00 works the best.

# 5 Excellent for women of color - 04.07.09
Quick Take: full coverage, lightweight, non-drying

Number 5 is what I use and its works. Expensive yes, it’s the only concealer I have found that works with discoloration especially under the eyes for Women of color. Remember to apply a little only wear the discoloration is then pat it on, it doesn't crease or cake. I do apply a setting power when I wear it with foundation, and I apply it after the foundation. It really can be worn with or with out makeup.

Clarins Instant Light Perfecting Touch - 03.30.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-drying

Expensive but the only product I've found that conceals, adds light, doesn't crease or cake, is consistent, and applies smoothly. Color 02 is perfect for my skin tone!

I have used this Clarins Instant Light Perfecting Touch for years. The converage is smooth with no caking and it hides all those dark areas around the eyes. I use it over and under my mineral makeup. This is a wonderful product.

Best coverage from a concealer I've ever used - 02.24.09
Quick Take: full coverage, lightweight, non-drying

I have hormonal acne REALLY bad right now. I've tried so many different foundations and concealers but this is the most natural looking concealer I've used. And it doesn't rub off easily which is great if you're hugging someone or changing clothes a lot.

Secret of the insomniac - 02.04.09
Quick Take: full coverage, lightweight, non-drying, doesn't cake, doesn't crease, great for dark circles

If I could only have one beauty product to use in the morning it would be this. Since I sleep very little, my dark circles are pretty bad sometimes. This instantly brightens my undereye and conceals the darkness without ever caking, creasing, or fading. The first shade 00 is great for my fair skin and blends with or without makeup. It doesn't feel heavy and I don't even need to add a concealer on top, so its super easy. Its also great for under brows and around the lip area, any place that needs brightened up. Its an instant pick me up, my eyes are forever thankful for this wonderful product.

On the top ten - 02.04.09
Quick Take: lightweight

I have sensitive, fair skin with some broken capillaries around the nose. This is perfect for that area because it blends nicely and doesn't cake. I don't splurge often on makeup, but I have a "top ten" of standbys that I will buy again and again. This one's near the top.
