I just had to share this...I picked up #2 this weekend at Target, played around with it for a few days, and decided I really liked it.
Last night, I had ONE glass of wine at dinner, and man, did it hit me hard! Now that I'm taking MSM, I am sooo sensitive to alcohol.
So, this morning, I was concerned about dark circles. I put on my brand-new Laura Mercier primer, Shiseido stick foundation, and finished with Boots No. 7 concealer below the eyes, and inner/outer corners. Then a quick swab of Burts Bees lip balm, like I do every day.
Later in the morning, a male co-worker stopped by to discuss a project. Keep in mind, I've known this guy for 10 years. He ended the conversation by telling me I looked incredibly young today!! 
I'm giving props to the concealer for that compliment!  |

| Say, Nadjazz? does the Shiseido stick foundation give good coverage? Would you categorize it as being light, medium or full coverage? Thanks.. |

| ParisT...I'm wondering how the Boots concealer wears...like is there still some in place by the end of the day?? I love my Estee Lauder concealer and I've used it for years... but now that my dark circles are darker, 8 hours after I put on the concealer, they are very visable. |

For me it wears great. We've been having 107 degree temps with humidity (it's monsoon season!) and it stays put remarkably well for me. I have combo skin that is now tending towards oily with the humidity.
It's not thick and blends well for me. It's seriously the best concealer...I'm still using and will definitely repurchase when I'm done!!!
Still a happy camper! |

I just bought this yesterday, and after one use I can say it's better than my BE well-rested, which is really hard for me to admit. I bought the pinkish shade, I, as I have red undertones. It wears very well, is easy to apply... The only thing I don't like is how often I have to click the end to get the stuff to come out. Maybe because it's new, it takes a little while for it to lube up.
Has anyone tried the Boots blemish concealor? I'd be interested to see if it's as good as this stuff. |

| The Target near me recently started carrying the Boots line. I'd never heard of it before, but this concealer sounds right up my alley. I'm continually trying to find one that doesn't have a drying affect and end up enhancing the fine lines under my eyes. |

I haven't tried the blemish concealer at all. With the monsoons I've been battling some acne from humidity...maybe I'll give this a go, but I'm not all fond of stick concealers. The website says that it is too dry in texture for use under the eye area, which means it probably good for small spots (won't come off!).
I know when I first bought my radiance concealer I had to click several times to get the product out...now I only click once or twice for all areas. |

I’ve had this for a couple of weeks now and agree it seems very similar to the YSL Touche Eclat, which I bought once or twice way back in the last century.
I think I need a bit more coverage though than this gives, and it probably works better applied over a liquid/crème foundation, which I haven’t tried - I was looking for something to use under my Alima MMU around my eyes. It is a nice product though, especially for the price. |

I wear MMU and was out of town last week without concealer. I was in CVS picking up eye drops and found Exuviance Coverblend Multi-Function Concealer. I got light. I am in love!! I dab it on lightly with a makeup sponge from the corner of my inner eye and under my eyes. It does not cake, accentuate my lines (I have some) or feel heavy. It is one of the few concealers I can wear under my eye area with MMU. I also use it to cover broken capillaries around my nose. It lasts all day. Others I have used have been gone in a few hours... or just looked funky under MMU.
I saw,after the fact, that you can get it here at EDS or a number of places on line, and the price can vary. I paid about $16 for it, as I recall. I plan on keeping it in my stash.
This Boots sounds good but I think I will stick with this one since it seems to work for my immediate needs. |

I've been using this concealer for the past week and 1/2 and I am loving it! I use it under MMU and haven't had any problems with it giving my under eye area a dry look like I get with other concealers I've tried.
I would buy this product again. |

| How does this compare to Guerlain line smoothing illuminator? |

| The shade selection is so limited. Do you think this concealor would work for darker skintones? |
