Where do I start with this one? There is so much to gush about. First, let's just talk about the packaging. The packaging on this product is amazing. It comes in a very cute and functional pink pouch that snaps closed. On the inside it has a pocket for the concealer, which is in a gorgeous pink aluminum compact, a pounch for the setting powder, which is in a silver aluminum compact, and a snap holder for the wonderful double sided appplicator brush.
Next, let's talk about the coverage. Let me tell you, ladies. 6:00 a.m. rolls around VERY early in the morning, and sometimes my eyes really show that. I apply this after I allow my moisturizer and primer to set and dry. This concealer blends VERY well with your skin and does an excellent job of covering up bags and dark circles under your eyes. the texture is very creamy and goes on very smooth. A little of this concealer goes a long way.
Also, the setting powder is amazing. It brightens your eyes, keeps your concealer set all day long, and even keeps your eyeliner from running. One thing with the powder. It takes a minute to set, so try and pull your face taut so that the skin under your eyes is stretched out before you put on the powder, and hold that for a minute. That way, it doesn't settle in the creases of your eyes. the first time I applies it, I didn't do this, and it did settle in the creases around my eyes a bit. Easy fix though. In addition, when the powder sets, there is no white residue. I apply my Halo over this, and voila! I look like I slept at least 8 hours the night before (what does THAT feel like?!?).
Next, let's discuss the brush. This applicator brush is wonderful. The concealer application side has just the right amount of firmness to smoosh the concealer into place without being too abrasive around your eyes and causing irritation. The powder brush is wonderful for blending and very soft to the skin around your eyes.
Ladies, even if you don't have dark circles under your eyes, this does WONDERS to even out the skin tone and give you a fresh, bright eyed look. Also, if you have any redness, acne, broken capillaries, sun spots, or light scarring, this concealer will cover those wonderfuly and give you an even, flawless complexion under your foundation.
Finally, let's talk about the price. Some might say that $30 for a concealer is a bit pricey. Look at what you are getting here. I love the fact that you get three pieces, and additionally, a very functional carrying case. You have to use so little, and you don't need touchups throughout the day, so I think this is actually an extreme VALUE.
My only problem with this product is the fact that the compacts are a little hard to open. You may want to use a tweezer or pair of small nail scissors or something, as I am sure you don't want to break a nail trying to get these open.
All in all, I give it 4.5/5 stars!
