So off the bat what I didn't like about this product is specifically the wonky color range. I'm normally an NC42-3 in MAC but for this concealer the NC43 was too dark. The next shade down is NC35, which is light but it oxidizes on me so it balances out. So this is the only case in which I won't mind it oxidizing. I can only use this concealer under my foundation, and when my skin is in good condition a.k.a no dry spots. I personally can't use this concealer under my eyes because I tend to be dry in that area. I actually really like the pigmentation but it doesn't work well on active blemishes, you would need to layer it and then it just gets cakey. One of the better aspects of this concealer is the price with the amount you get. You get half of a foundation basically and you do not need a lot of product to cover what you need.
The smallest drop of concealer covers extremely well. This concealer is in my eyes heaven sent because it didn't make me break out and I can actually make it work for me. As you can see in the pictures, the color is a bit too blue based. I need something more olive/yellow toned. All in all this concealer does the job for me. In the future I would like to find something more yellow based but for now this will do. I definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind any of the things I mentioned above. Another tip I heard about this concealer is that it works best on bare unprimed skin. That's not something I would try but for those of you who don't wear primer anyway I would say to give it a shot.
Price: $16.50USD.
Amount: 9 ml / 0.30 US fl oz.
Shade Range: 15 ranging from NC-NW.
Will I purchase again?: Sometimes. It can really make your dry pots look flaky.
Recession Seal: Approved. You get a ton of product, and a little goes a long way.
