Origins Quick, Hide! Concealer

I needed a new concealer and wanted a liquid with doe foot/foam tip applicator. I'd used that type in the past and been relatively happy. More recently, I'd been experimenting with sticks and solids and twist-up brush styles and none really worked for me -- too orange, too dry or hard to blend or cakey, or whatever. I also needed a concealer that worked well for zits and blemishes, rather than for...read more under eye circles. Paula B had the Origins as a pick so I gave it a shot. Perfection! I use 01 Light and it blends into my skin and looks natural while covering up zits and scars. I mostly use it on my chin. This blends so well with my skin tone that there are days I can just put some powder over it and be done -- no need for foundation. The tube/brush packaging is great, although sometimes the applicator kind of jumps out of the tube, like there's some air pressure forcing it out. I got this in the US and since I knew it would be hard to find at home, after a few days testing it out, I bought a second tube. Price was $15 plus tax which is starting to get up there for a tube of concealer compared to the cheapest drugstore brands, but this is so beyond those that it's worth it. HG. The finish is still matte, but super natural looking. It still dries slightly darker too, which is a problem for me this time. Once it dries it does not match my skin the way it used to. Wish the colors were not so limited, but would still recommend it. This is probably the best concealer I've tried so far. I even compared it to the supposedly wonderful Cle de Peau concealer, and I thought the Origins Quick Hide was just as good. It's also far more reasonable in price. It applies easily, doesn't cake on too thick, and blends well for a natural appearance, all while doing what it's supposed to deal: conceal. This is probably the best concealer I have ever used! Now, admittedly, I have pretty decent skin, and not a whole lot that needs concealing. But I do have under-eye circles, and I am getting older, so I have fine lines in the eye area as well. This stuff covers the circles, brightens under my eyes a bit, and DOES NOT settle in my lines!!! LOVE!!!! And, unlike all the little brush-ended, highlighting, under-eye "pen" type products, you can feel okay using this on blemishes too. Will definitely re-purchase, and soon, since I loaned mine to my daughter and she hasn't ever returned it.... This is my favorite and only concealer. I'm only on my third tube: the first one was in the little metal squeeze tube and lasted for years, and the second was in the newer doefoot tube and still isn't gone after 3-4 years! I've heard they recently changed the formula which is not good, but I love my current tube which I bought last year. I use "Very Light" and it's the perfect shade (though I looked on the website and it doesn't seem to be made in that shade anymore - urgh). It's silky, blends perfectly, covers completely (medium coverage) and never looks obvious. I use it to cover blemishes and undereye circles and it works great for both problems. I hope I can continue to use this perfect concealer even after the reformulation.

Circles be gone!

I love that this comes in several fair skinned shades! It covers very well, blends easily, and lasts the day. It's a miracle worker for dark circles.

Not good for hiding blemishes.

Origins doens't have a wide array of colors to choose from, and it didn't blend well for my blemishes, but it is great for under eyes.
