My Thoughts:
I really like this concealer because it covers up my blemishes and occasional under eye circles (late night cram sessions will do that to you). Not only is it a concealer, but it’s color correctors too! Use the green to minimize redness. Use yellow to minimize dark circles. I heard the concealer isn’t oil-free which may be the reason why it doesn’t last all day. It’s really easy to blend, and the brushes that come with it aren’t that bad either, but I prefer to use my own concealer brush. The best thing about this concealer is the price! Normally you have to buy all these concealers seperately, but this concealer set comes with everything you need!

My Thoughts:
For a drugstore brand, it is pricey. For the price you pay, you would think it would work. Had the concealer worked, I wouldn’t have minded shelling out that money. It’s a thick, creamy concealer. When you put it on and try to blend it, it feels sticky and tacky making it difficult to blend. If you use this on your undereye, it will settle into fine lines. It doesn’t cover up blemishes that well either. The mineral powder that comes with it is okay and provided a bit of an illuminating effect. The powder puff that also came with it is useless. I chucked it and used my kabuki brush to apply the powder. Overall, I think what killed this product is the concealer. The powder is great for highlighting, but I wouldn’t pay $13.99 for that amount of mineral powder.

My Thoughts:
This is not the best concealer. It looks cakey and doesn’t blend that well. I don’t know if it was my tube or what, but the product was kind of thick.
