This has been my go-to concealer for almost a decade, and I'm so bummed that it's been discontinued. It delivers the perfect level of coverage without being cakey or greasy, as if your skin is naturally this gorgeous. The fair is very neutral, no pink or yellow undertones, and it blends so beautifully on my combination skin. A little bit goes a long way, too, so even though it's a small tube, it lasts a long time. There's obviously still backstock available, and I've bought several tubes, but it does tend to have separated out. I shake it really well and then squeeze some on the back of my hand, and if it's still separated, I'll blend it back together. It works, but not as well as when it was fresh. I really wish Maybelline would bring it back. Supposedly Tarte Shape Tape is a good dupe, but it's twice the price, so I've put off taking the plunge. I don't want to gamble with an unknown when I already know Master Conceal is the holy grail. Read more
Love this stuff. It covers and it stays in place. Read more
This is my new favorite concealer product, and I'm glad that that it costs so much less compared to the ones I've been using for the last several years. I first ordered the "Light" shade based on the online product photos, but decided to check out the product at a local store while waiting for the Amazon shipment. Although the shade appeared quite dark under the product photos, the "Light/Medium" shade looked to be closer to my own complexion when I was looking at the tubes in person. I purchased the Light/Medium shade and tried it on, but while it looked to be a good match initially while applying, it dried down much darker! I was glad that the "Light" shade I initially ordered is actually a better match for my medium facial complexion to help hide my dark circles, but it still dried down a bit darker than I wanted in certain places. I then proceeded to purchase the "Fair" shade, and blending the pinkish shade in on top of the Light shade finally gave me the result I wanted under my eyes. Although you should generally avoid the mistake of using too light of shade for your dark circles, I had to go lighter with this particular product that dries down darker, and then it can look flawless and non-cakey when applied with a good concealer brush and blended out with a finishing powder. I'm uploading a photo of the shades on my arm, but the actual shades look slightly more pink in person. You can see how they dry down darker when blended out at the base, so you may want to purchase multiple shades to get the best match for your own complexion. I'm glad that I tried all three shades, and now use the darker light/medium shade for subtle contouring around my nose while using the lighter shades for blending and highlighting. I love that the squeeze tubes remain sanitary unlike in paletted products, but you may want to use a small container (a small travel jar, contact lens case, etc) for mixing and to avoid wasting globs of the product each time you use it. For the price, I give it 5 stars, especially because it doesn't settle into wrinkles nor cause milia around my eyes. Read more
I usually use MaryKay's concealer. However, I have been looking for products that are slightly less expensive but provide the same great coverage/look/feel. This concealer is about 1/2 the price of the MaryKay version and gives you almost twice as much. There are less color choices with Maybelline, however, the fair still matches my skin tone well enough that you can't tell the difference when wearing either this or the MaryKay. It covers just as well for me, goes on smoothly, and lasts longer. That's a win/win/win for me. Highly recommend this product if you are looking for something cheaper but still quality. Read more
As my other reviews show, I like to try new products even though I've always thought Dermablend was the best by far especially with ELF eye setting hd powder. Then I found maybelline mousse concealer which I found amazing. When I ran out of it once again (it is discontinued but still available online), I tried Laura Mercier's (meh) which I handed over to my sister. Came back to maybelline and found they must have used the same amount of pigments in this one as the one they used in their discontinued jars. BAM ! BINGO ! They actually successfully Improved it ! Because it adds more brightness too. EXCELLENT coverage even without my Mary Kay yellow base, and a little goes a loooooooong way (that's coming from someone who goes above and beyond to create a bright eye contour). It is NOT shiny like Laura Mercier's (when it shines it ages you) and dries quickly. No creases despite all kinds of facial expressions and changes in temperature in the day. Works great as a highlighter for forehead and upper cheeks too. BTW this listing is for a pack of two lol but it doesn't say for some reason. They probably made an error in the description because nowhere else on Amazon is this product sold in packs of two. SO: it's a fabulous deal too ! I'm sticking with this concealer and well done Maybelline ! Read more
This is perfect for small cover up areas. I have used this for years & have found it to conceal the darkness in the corners of my eyes & have finally found that it works best if you tap the tip onto your finger (you only need a very little amount) instead of holding it upright, as it seems to separate & only an oil type ingredient comes out. Have tried to mix it but still happens. Very smooth cream that blends well on the skin. Read more
One of the best concealers. Can't find it in store anymore so have to get online. It's a great product for the price. Read more
Turns orange. It blends well, but it sticks to dry spots and makes you look splotchy and unnatural. Read more
