Yes, $68 is a high price for a stick concealer. BUT...if one of the 3 shades matches your skin tone, this will be the best $68 you ever spent on a stick concealer. It covers completely, it blends perfectly and it stays put all day long. You don't need very much product, so one tube can last for months and months (I'm just starting on my 2nd tube and it's been over a year since I bought the 1st one). The very limited palette means that it will not be the best for every person, but it's good enough that you should try to find a counter where you can put some on to see if any of the 3 shades match you. It is especially good at covering up spots, marks and scars, even better than my long lamented discontinued Shu Uemura Mark Cealer. Even at $68, I've saved all the cumulative $10 here, $20 there for all the less expensive but ultimately less effective concealers. It's my HG concealer and I'll continue to rebuy as I use it up. I wish I could find such a reliable product in all other categories. March 26, 2008, 7:58 pm

I have slept with every concealer on the market in an attempt to cover the dark circles under my eyes without the concealer settling into my crinkles, to no avail. My obsession lead me to Cle de peau Beaute. I was so excited when the UPS truck and a Doug Heffenan clone rang my doorbell, delivering the most often talked about and coveted beauty concealer - Cle de peau Beaute. This is THE concealer recommend by Charla Krupp, author of How Not To Look Old.
This product has also been hailed as the holy grail of concealers for dark circle coverage, as well as mature skin by many women. I ordered Ivory and Ocher not knowing which color would be best for my pale and pink skin. At $68 a tube, this is not your drugstore fashionista's concealer.
In truth, I was running late for work and did not allow myself enough time to properly address my skin, so my first application of this concealer may not have been the best test. However, Ivory was the correct color for my skin. (I have pink undertones, so the ocher pulled orange.)
My grave disappointment came when traveling to work -- at a speed I will not mention -- and I smiled in the rearveiw mirror expecting a reflection of smooth skin and saw instead the ivory concealer caked in my crinkles and wrinkles around my eyes. End of smile.
I gave the concealer one more shot to see if it had anything to do with my application.
Thank goodness I gave the concealer a second test drive. It was my method of application. Using a makeup brush the second time, I dipped the brush with a light hand past the tube. Then I applied the concealer.
I won't be without what I now know is the Holy Grail of concealers. I don't often give a ten, but I will in this case. March 12, 2008, 2:52 pm
