When it first came out, everybody and their mother was talking and raving about it. When I heard Elle Fowler from AllThatGlitters21 on Youtube raved about it, I knew I had to get it!
At first, I was pretty happy with it. I had just started college and with the late-night study sessions, my dark circles got more pronounced. It was pretty cool how well it masked my dark circles without feeling heavy. This concealer has more of a liquid texture but it is packed with pigment! However, I had trouble with it staying on my under eyes and looking good. When I added powder, it just made my eyes look too dry and crepe-y. Without powder, it only lasted two or three hours before it started too look weird but adding powder just made my eyes look old and tired. I shelved it away, moving onto a different concealer.
When I was cleaning out my makeup, I found this again and decided to give it another try. However, the twisting mechanism was broken! I kept twisting and twisting and nothing came out. Frustrated, I emailed Maybelline and they promptly reimbursed me the money I paid for it, which was very generous with them. They didn't ask me to send in the broken product either. So what I did was remove the little squishy applicator and twist out whatever product was left into a different container. I was always wary about the "microbial-resistant" sponge applicator anyway so it wasn't a loss to me to say bye to it.
I have it in shade Medium and below is a swatch on it. I'll update later with before and after photos of my under eye circles. :)
I've been using it nonstop for the past few weeks! I don't even touch any of my other concealers. I just love how light it feels and how well it covers everything with just a little bit of product! I feel it brightens my under eyes without being obvious. I don't think I could live without this concealer anymore. I highly recommend picking it up if you're in the market for a good under eye concealer! They come in four skin tone shades as well as two additional corrector shades. You can get yours here!
XOXO,
