If you read this post, you will be aware that I have tried a vast amount of under eye concealers in my time, and out of the many, there are only a couple that I would repurchase.
As you can see, my tube of Maybelline The Eraser Eye is nearly finished, so would I repurchase?
The simple answer, is no.
I enjoy the application of this concealer- I like the sponge it comes with, I like the wind up mechanism as it gives you so much control of how much product comes out and I like that mechanism assures that you get to use up every last drop of product.
The consistency is thin and very flight reflective, so if I want a very natural highlight- this works well enough and that's what I tend to use it for, but when it comes to the matter of actually covering my dark circles, I am afraid it does not deliver.
I can still see the purple/blue shadows underneath the concealer- they have improved, but definitely still there. I find it worse on the inner corners of my eyes by the bridge of my nose, that's where I have most of the darkness and this concealer nowhere near covers them.
It is so liquidy that it takes some time to set, it doesn't sink into fine liners- perhaps if you have dry skin and or are more mature, it might suit you fine, but I found straight under my eyes it kept bunching up and I had to keep going back to blend it in.
The formula moves quite a lot and powdering doesn't really help.
I have tried powdering immediately, but it still bunches up under the eyes, the same happens if I wait to powder at the end of my make up.
Furthermore, the powder can stick to the concealer, making things look pretty cakey, which is obviously not the look I am going for.
Bottom Line : I think if you don't have bad dark circles, this may work for you, but for me, even though I enjoy its brightening effect, its not quite hardcore enough. I also don't like that powder sometimes sticks to it.
I wish there was a high street/afforable concealer that I loved! Any recommendations?
