Not heavy or cakey
On the concealer side in light: This concealer does its job when I get a decent amount of sleep. It will not crease. Sadly, when my dark circles are worse than normal it just can't cut it alone. Overall it's great for those who don't need extreme help with dark circles and touch ups. Would repurchase.
On the highlighter in glow: Lots of people have complained this is too light, and honestly, it is literally white. You can still find uses for it though. I like to use it on my cheekbones under a matte blush. It's also good in the inner corner of your eye. It isn't the best thing, but I'd repurchase to get the concealer.
Good product, horrible packaging
I use this more for the glow end than the concealer end. I've had this product since January and it is a fantastic highlighter. I dot it on top of the cheekbone and for me it looks far more natural than any other shimmery highlighter I've tried. The concealer end is okay. It doesn't crease horribly. The packaging concept is good, but I've been traveling with it a lot and the black connector bit (not sure what to call it) fell a apart, so now I have two separate vials of concealer and highlighter floating around in my makeup bag. For $3 though, I'm thrilled it lasted even that long and I still have plenty of product to go.
I'm not going to lie, I never used to use concealer around my eyes. But now I use it; I guess it comes with aging and being a mother to get dark circles under my eyes.
I'm a huge ELF fan so I decided to try their Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter. I use the highlighter as a primer for my eye shadows. It definitely brings out my eyes. As for the concealer, it sure does cover up those dark spots.
I'm not too crazy about the applicator on either side. So I just dab some on the areas I need to cover up and then use my finger to gently glide, smoothen and even out both the highlighter and concealer.
Eh....
The highlighter is ok, the concealer is watery and comes off easily, definately does not last throughout the day, I guess it will work if you don't have really bad dark circles/spots.
I don't think it is worth buying...
Gives a dewy look but not great with coverage
I totally agree with the other girls who have reviewed this product in that the concealer really does not give enough coverage to really tackle problematic areas of the face however I've found that it does give a nice dewy look to the skin if used more in the way of a highlighter.
I got it in Light, which i believe is one shade lighter than my normal skin tone simply because I really do like that under eye bright look (but without being too light bulb luminous of course) and again, as I and the other girls have said, the concealer part just seems to disappear rather than blend in.
I find the product on both sections extremely watered down to the point that when Im blending it into my skin, Im often wondering whether any of it is "sticking" or whether im just wiping it off and it's absorbing into my brush.
Finger application was worse because I swear that most of it just absorbed into my finegrs on application.
However...I really do like to use the highlighter on my brow bone and on the inner corners of my eyes. There is no great shimmer to the product and so the highlighter just gives a white-ish tint to the skin, making it a little more luminous in the areas applied.
The staying power isn't great..I've found that it's usually all dispersed by midday, and usually if I apply my HD powder over the top the effects of both ends of the product are depleted.
However the price is super affordable, and if you havn't particularly got really noticable dark circles or problematic areas to conceal then this isn't a bad little "fixer-upper" for on the go...But I'm sure spending that little bit more or experimenting with other drug store brands is the way to go for more impact.
All the bestest! x
