a must have
I'd heard a lot of great things about this concealer, so I decided to check it out. I had been using my Hard Candy Glamoflage concealer, but it is just too heavy for under eyes, so I needed a change! I LOVE this concealer. It not only covers, but I adore that it is also a moisturizer for my under eye area as well. I will definitely be repurchasing again and again. This has become a staple product in my collection.
Ok concealer, looking for better
I had my eye on this concealer for awhile and when I saw rave reviews on totalbeauty I decided I should get it. The packaging is cute, durable and portable and there is plenty of product held within. Light is kind of a peachy-beige shade. I love that Covergirl teamed with Olay to incorporate a creamy lotion swirl into the concealer. It has a slippery, smooth and silky buttery feel, which I quite enjoy. This only slightly covers dark circles and blemishes, with aid of a primer/foundation/bb cream/ loose powder underneath. It covers pimples much better than dark circles, but even with pimples its not the greatest. I already have my sights set on other concealers and I have plenty on my ever growing makeup wish list. What might help make this concealer work better is using the corrector shade first, then using Light, then set with my loose powder. Or maybe I just need to layer Light much more than I already am. Either way I still have plenty of product I don't mind using up in the meantime, and when I hopefully find something better, it will remain my trusty back-up.
I purchased this to cover up under eye circles, but it doesn't work super well for that. However it works good to cover up any tiny blemishes or acne that you may have. So I like it for that.
I think I will be purchasing the corrector though, after reading the person's review beneath my post! I did not know there was a corrector in this product!
Great around flakes!
I have a full size of Light. I really like this concealer. I use a concealer brush to apply (Sonia Kashuk #14, Target) around my nose, mouth and any blemishes flaking off. The Olay serum does not dry and cake onto any flaky skin that I have, It helps moisturize and smooth. I like to use it on blemishes, It has never caused breakouts, it has just aided in coverage. An older or dry skin will love this. It's a great price @ $12 The concealer does not transfer the same way the foundation does.
