This is a pretty high-rated concealer so when I saw it on sale at Nordstrom Rack I had to give it a try. And it’s a no-go for me. It sounds so good in theory– a gazillion shades to choose from, a convenient compact, and 2 sides– regular coverage and extra coverage. Sounded pretty nifty, right?

Well, when I apply it, it’s very difficult to blend. There’s just something so icky about a makeup look than concealer that isn’t properly blended. They recommend the regular coverage side for undereyes. This caked up and made my undereye area look really awful. I do not have dark circles but I like to use a little concealer there just to brighten the area a bit and keep everything even. Well now it looks like I have circles or something because the concealer is so cakey there.

On blemishes, it seemed to cover really well although it was a battle to blend it yet again. Except when I tried to set it with powder, it all got rubbed off even though I barely touched it with the powder brush. So much for long-lasting coverage.
