What A Gem!
This has to be one of the most underrated products ever!
When I learned of this product being hailed as a cheaper, creamier alternative to CdP's cult concealer (which I found a bit too dry), needless to say I was skeptical. I have dark circles, redness around the nose, and hyperpigmentation from old blemishes that need covering, all on dehydrated, sensitive, acne-prone skin, so that's a tall order. I was using the Nars RCC, which I do like as well, but the finish just isn't as invisible as I would like it to be. So I gave this a try... and WOW! It is thick, but once it warms up on your skin, it becomes quite emollient and easy to work with, and then will eventually set to a radiant, skin-like, powder finish. For full-coverage, I like it best applied directly to the skin in thin layers and then buffed in with fingers. For medium coverage, I like to apply it directly onto fingers first to create some slip, before pressing and tapping it into the skin. A brush works fine as well, but I find that application method best for under the eye. I am also very impressed with their shade offerings -- I am roughly NC40-42, and find Honey to be a PERFECT color match. That said, these shades somehow seem to autocorrect into your skin tone, so I honestly could get away with using Tan or Almond in a pinch as well. All in all, for the effectiveness, quality, and value, I highly recommend!
