I bought a light/medium for my light asian skin (40-yr-old); the coverage is good but it's too drying by mid-day in the office. If you have dry skin, do not use this concealer for under eyes.

I, too, have tried many different concealers, from drugstore varieties to expensive department store brands, and I always return to theBalm. I find the product gives excellent coverage, and in its little jar it stays creamy and does not thicken like concealers that come in a tube. Also, I use a brush to apply and find the jar much more convenient than a tube for this technique. I don't find the product drying but to those reviewers who do, I'd like to suggest that they either mix a tiny bit of theBalm BalmShelter tinted moisturizer with the concealer or apply a thin coat of BalmShelter on the face before using the concealer. If I'm using foundation, I always apply my concealer after applying foundation and blend it in; the other way round, the foundation just pulls the concealer off. A nice, natural look results from using a skin primer followed by the tinted moisturizer and the concealer and finishing with a very light application of pressed powder. Add under eye liner, a thin coat of mascara, lipstick or gloss--and you're good to go!

Really creamy and blends well and you really don't need a lot, In fact you know you are using too much if it clumps or if globs up in the lines around your eyes. Just a little bit goes a lot way.

This concealer really works well at covering dark undereye circles. It's very creamy, not drying at all. Make sure to blend it well just before applying face powder to prevent any from settling into fine lines. I also dab a thin layer onto my eyelids as a primer and dust with powder before applying eyeshadow. This prevents the shadow from creasing.

I love this product. My puffy eyes and dark circles are gone immediately. I recommend it to everyone.

I am 42 and use theBalm to cover under eye circles, broken capillaries around my nose & some age spots along my jaw line. I apply a thin layer to most areas of my face with a thick angled foundation brush and then roll/pat my entire face with clean hands to blend. The product does tend to settle into the creases directly under my eyes so I gently press the area with a clean finger (the whole finger, not finger tip) and it takes care of the problem very well.

If my skin is well moisturized I may dust with a finishing powder. If I'm dry (as when after skiing or being outdoors in the cold for long periods of time) theBalm alone with a cream bush looks great!

I carry several European skin care and make up lines in my spa, but I only carry one concealer - The Balm. I have purchased and used a $75 concealer (supposedly the best in the world) and it does not hold a candle to this one. I have very dark circles under my eyes and this is the only concealer that works and lasts. My daughters are both part time models and this is the only concealer they will use. It does not turn "spidery" like the $75 concealer and is easily touched up. It blends and covers beautifully and can be used over the entire face with the sponge. But please, USE A CONCEALER BRUSH, always, for best results. Other comments have mentioned using Q-tips - never!

I bought this to cover a small raised mole and a few dark freckles. It settled in the nooks of the mole and drew attention to it, rather than camaflouge. It worked okay on the dark freckles, but wears off quickly, same as much cheaper brands. I agree with the grumbles about the sponge- it's not very useful. I tried with a small tipped brush and q-tip- which was easier to apply that way, but same results. I won't buy again.

I bought this concealer because of it's high rating and I'm glad I decided to go with this one! I have decent skin, but have a few spots from all those years I went without sunscreen when I was younger. This covers them right up! I don't use the little sponge that comes with the product though... I use a concealer brush and this glides right over the problem areas and blends in perfectly with my fair/medium skin tone, even without foundation! I go without foundation as often as I can and with this concealer, it's easy to do that. I've also used it to cover redness left from waxing, the occasional blemish, and under my eyes. It does the trick wonderfully. It doesn't flake, crust or wear off. It just makes my skin look the way it's supposed to look. A little goes a long way too! I highly recommend!
