I love this stuff!! It goes on really well, and covers flawlessly! When I put it on a scab on my forehead I was expecting the worst, but it totally hid it!!
The opening where the cover comes out is flat and has a fuzzy texture which is great for blending. I use my concealer brush, and blend with my finger, or the applicator if it's a big zit.
I wear Liquid minerals in warm silk (which is also AMAZING!) and used the light/medium concealer if that gives you an idea on the color.
I haven't been using it long enough to comment on whether it helps the zits clear, but I'll be sure to let you all know in a few weeks. |

| I use liquid minerals in Bisque (one shade lighter than Warm Silk I guess) so perhaps Light would be the one to get for me. I've been wondering about this concealer for a while. I've got the Circle Delete one (which is great!) but always use just powder mineral foundation to cover zits because so far everything else has come off when I tried to blend it. This might be a goer then! |

I posted a thread before I purchased it an I remember someone saying they were bisque and light was too light. I'm not sure if they were using powder or liquid minerals.
I noticed quite a difference between the 2. the powder was too light for me, and the liquid is perfect. |

Thank you Lianne! The only question now is was SkyBaby using the pressed or the loose because I hear that the pressed version is about two shades lighter than the loose. Or something like that, all these shade differences are confusing....  |

Hi,
I have used both the pressed and loose. I bought Bisque because I originally thought it would be the same. For me, the loose in Bisque was much lighter than the pressed. The pressed was closer to my skin tone. Let me know if that doesn't answer your question. |

I am trying to find a good undereye concealer that covers dark circles well, but also helps to minimize fine lines, or at least not accentuate them.
I was looking into the Jane Iredale circle/delete, and although the reviews have been great on it's coverage, I've heard some complaints about how it accentuates the lines.
Can anyone recommend a good product?
Thank you! |

I have both the pressed and the loose in Warm Silk and the pressed is definitely darker.

Thank you SkyBaby and Cheri! I knew they weren't the same but was obviously confused about which one was lighter. Clearly, I had more luck than brains when choosing the shade of the pressed base because I chose Warm Silk thinking that it was much lighter than the Warm Silk in loose (which looked too dark)  |

Me too! I thought I might need one shade darker in the pressed so I ordered amber. It is lighter than my warm silk and makes me look like a ghost! Money down the drain! That's what I get for not ordering samples.
So I'm still using warm silk, but use a skunk brush to deposit a bit of BE warmth for more color.

Glad I'm not the only one confused by the differences in shades across the two formulations  |

yup...I will buy samples before buying full size products in this line. Or visit a salon where I can test them.
Besides the colour confusion I do LOVE this line! |

I'm a newbie and this is my first post (am a regular on the Handbag.com beauty board if any of you post there). Anyhoo...here goes:
Sorry not JI related (although I do love the range) but I recently discovered Kanebo concealer which is the best thing I've ever used for under eye circles (much better than YSL, Dior, Clinique and No 7 versions I've tried). It covers really well, plus it doesn't make my undereye area dry as products I've used in the past have. Hope that helps anyway  |

Hellooooooooooo guapagirl *waves back madly*
Erm....Do you come here often? *guapagirl runs off  * I didn't know you posted over here. Nice to see a face I recognise. Do any of the other girls post over here? I'm often browsing on the EDS site (and melting my credit cards usually!) so I thought I'd venture into the forums. I'm trying to decide on a new handcream at the moment - anyone tried the Jurlique one?
You girls certainly seem to know your stuff over here *happybunny feels slightly out of her depth with all these v clever folks around  *
Anyhoo thanks for the welcome |

Hi happybunny and welcome to the forum. Have you tried Bobbi Brown concealer system? I've tried a zillion different products and it's, so far, the best I found so far...wondering if your Kanebo concealer is better. I have (genetic) darkness all around my eyes.  |

Welcome to the forum happybunny!
Ok, sorry this is a tad OT from the original thread, but to answer your question - yes! I use Jurlique Rose Hand Cream and it's great! There's been a few reviews of it here before I think - try doing a search and see what you get

Thanks for the welcome girls
Nanapost - I've not tried the Bobbi Brown concealer so I can't compare the two, sorry. It is definately better than the other undereye concealers I've tried in the past though.
Mabsy - I'll do a search to get a bit more info on the Jurlique Hand Cream - thanks. |

13 1/2 ...and very scarey, gotta keep on her good side
She's lovely actually, and really sweet once she gets over the hormones. She has put her own EDS order along with mine for mineral makeup, but I thought I would get her an 'extra' after reading that this was so good. When I was a kid it was rimmel cover up which looked like stiking plasters ...put me off concealer until last year and I discovered touche eclat |

I also use the Kanebo concealer for my dark undereye circles. It is by far the best concealer for dark circles that I have tried. My eyes are dark in the inner corners and most other concealers either cake and settle into the lines under my eyes or else slide off soon after I put them on. I use CB01 light for fair skin. I was a little concerned because it has a pink undertone when you look at it and I have a lot of pink and red undertones in my face already and usually prefer yellow-based products. But I tap it on with a finger to blend and it looks fine. I don't like a lot of Kanebo's skincare products,-or perhaps I should say that they don't like me-  but I really like this brush type concealer which has SPF 15. I also like Kanebo's eyeshadow and the sponge chief which is like a chamois for the skin. An odd little product which is just great. |
