Did not like this one at all
Wow, I feel like I'm the only one giving this a bad review, but I have to be honest nevertheless... ;( My "HG" concealer of all times (I've been using it for the last 12 years) is "Lancome" long-lasting under-eye concealer... But every once in a while I will try something else, just because I hear so many people talking about it, and I start getting a feeling that I'm missing out on some sort of m...read moreiracle product... Such was the case with this one... First of all, it took me forever to get anything at all out of it. Then when I finally put it on, I realized that the coverage is very poor, and to top it all off, it oxidized almost immediately, so in a couple of hours not only I had slightly orange under-eye circles, but it settled into my fine lines as well. I do have to say that I never use a primer under my eyes (only for my eye shadow), so maybe if I had tried it with a primer it wouldn't have settled as much. But it still doesn't change the fact that I didn't like the coverage and it oxidized. And I don't want to have to put on a ton of product in order for it to cover my dark circles. In my opinion, it might be good for someone with very few fine lines around their eyes, almost unnoticeable discolouration under their eyes and a perfectly neutral PH... Do you know anyone like that??? :):):) Anyways, I'm sorry if you love this product and had to read my review, but this is just my own experience with it. If you have it and it works for you - I'm glad that it does... If anyone wants to know, I'm in my mid-thirties, my dark circles are extremely noticeable, so I do need a concealer with very good coverage, and I don't like anything that will settle into lines, or needs to be retouched during the day... So no, I didn't like this at all, to the point that I didn't even give it away, just trashed it and never looked back...This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

Age Rewind
The product itself isn't bad. As a concealer, it works pretty well. The coverage is pretty decent and it's easy to blend. It can feel cakey if you put too much on, but as I said, it covers well and blends easily so that probably wouldn't be an issue for most people any way. I use it with primer and it lasts throughout the day without changing colors on me-- I didn't notice that it was Maybelline w...read morehen I picked this up so I was worried that it would oxidize on me as I have had issues with their foundation turning orange on me in the past, but it didn't. Being a 24 year old who looks like a baby, I don't really have any lines, so I can't comment on whether it does a good job covering lines without settling into them. The only things I don't love about the concealer itself is that it isn't as weightless as some other concealers I've tried and up close, the shade I purchased (Toasted?) looks like it has a bit of shimmer-- not a dewy, luminous finish, not a sheen, an out and out shimmer; however, once my makeup is done, it's not really noticable unless you're were to get right up close to my face. If I were rating just the concealer and not the whole product itself, it would get around seven or eight stars out of ten. Alas, I feel like I have to rate it based off the entire package. The sponge applicator...oi vey. I had removed it for sanitary reasons (I am prone to break outs and you can't really clean the sponge tip) but if you haven't removed it for cleanliness reasons yet, you should now because aside from that, it wastes an insane amount of product. I tried it a few times with the sponge and had to turn it about 4-5 clicks to cover under my eyes and one or two acne scars. Now for comparison, once I took off the sponge I use less than one click to cover the same amount of skin. All the product gets sucked up by the sponge. What doesn't get sucked up gets so sheered out by the sponge applicatior that you end up having to layer and build up the concealer which can give you a cakey look. Even without the sponge, the bottle is a pain. When you click to dispense product, it sort of just keeps coming out-- like a bottle of hair mouse or something. It gets sucked up if you leave on the sponge but without, it gets a bit messy. More wasted product. So while I think the concealer itself is decent, I probably wouldn't repurchase because so much product gets wasted by the packaging.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
