Heavy Under Eyes, Great on Blemishes and Scars
I've had this concealer sitting by me for the longest time and never reviewed it. "Volta" should get a reward for her advice, because she is an extremely wise woman. Do choose a shade which is two tones lighter than your skin/foundation because it does dry to a deeper hue than you initially think it will. This has been a Godsend for women with Rosacea, scars, tattoos, and anything which needs t...read moreo remain disguised at times. It is non-oily, totally waterproof, has a rich formula, and comes in a multitude of shades. Because the cost is $32.00, I agree with Volta that you should probably visit your local Sephora and test some on a cleansed area of your jawbone in strong light, preferably daylight, as you may actually need two colors (some women have problems with both undereye darkness and scars elsewhere on their body, so one shade will not suffice). Try to determine what you need from swatches on Sephora or MUFE's own site isn't enough. I have one problem with this, though: I find it too heavy for the very delicate skin under my eyes. I applied it with a brush, but I was aware of it being there (I hope that makes sense). Then I used my ring finger (because it exerts the least pressure and will do less damage) and allowed the warmth from my hand to soften it first. No change. It will call attention to any fine lines in this area, and my eyes are in pretty good shape. I also like to be able to use a concealer as a shadow primer in a pinch, but putting this on my eyelids is like wearing clothing--far too thick. I just reviewed Maybelline's "Superstay 24 Hour Non-Transfer Concealer" (about $7.00). Although it isn't waterproof, it does last a full day, will never transfer to clothing, and has staying power which is unexpected from a drugstore product. I actually prefer Maybelline's version when it comes to "powerhouse" concealers. This is nice, but it's definitely not my favorite . . .This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 12 of 13 people said helpful

Makeup Forever Concealer
I just discovered this line carried exclusively at Sephora, and this concealer is one of the best. It applies smoothly with a brush, and really covers up under eye circles and blemishes. I am really glad I bought this.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 21 of 21 people said helpful

Hard core!
This is one of the most heavy duty concealers I've ever used. What I LOVE about it is that even though it's super highly pigmented, you get a large bottle that is going to last for ever--so don't be frightened away by a $30 price tag because this will probably last you a couple years (even though I still recommend you throw it out after a year due to chemicals unsettling and possible bacteria grow...read moreth). Also, the amount of shades that you can choose from will assure you get the best color matching. A HUGE tip is to choose a color that is TWO shades lighter than your foundation because this concealer tends to dry a little darker than what comes out of the tube initially. This is going to cover everything and I love the texture of it. The liquidy texture will blend best on top of liquid or cream foundations, but make sure you apply this first before powder foundation. Go to Sephora and ask for a sample before you commit to it. This is going to change your opinion of what a concealer should be like!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 38 of 42 people said helpful
