I received the Estee Lauder Double Wear concealer as part of a gift set and originally put the tube aside as I thought the colour was too dark. I ended up trying it as an undereye concealer instead of a face concealer and I really like the effect. I have a problem with undereye concealer creasing and I find that the creasing, although still there, is minimized and almost non-existent if I dust a light setting powder over the top. It does stay in place all day, however I don't know if I would repurchase again as I find it a little drying, and the skin colour isn't an exact match so it might not work later in the winter when I'm paler.
This concealer is a life saver. I have tried so many different ones over the years, and there are only two I swear by so far: Lise Watier and this one. The consistency is fabulous, it stays on for a long time and covers my under eye circles extremely well. I do not go anywhere without this concealer in my purse; and for this price it is a steal.
I've tried a lot of concealers in the 10 or so years I've been wearing makeup, and I've been disappointed with most of them. I have inherited, from my mom's side of the family, dark under eye circles. No matter how much sleep I get, they're always there. So a good concealer is essential. But finding one that 1) doesn't cake, fade, and/or crease terribly within four or five hours, and 2) matches my cool-toned, very fair complexion, has been a challenge.
I bought this concealer after reading other glowing reviews about it online. I figured for $20 or so, it should be good, but I was amazed at how well it lived up to its promises.
It's just the right shade, blends easily and covers completely. After an eight-hour workday, it still looks good -- fades a bit, but as long as I've applied a bit of moisturizer underneath it, it doesn't cake or crease much at all.
I rarely break out anymore, but this does cover small blemishes very well too.
The only thing I'd change about this product is the price. It's $20 a tube. That said, I've thrown away plenty of money on $5 - $10 concealers I barely used because they were cakey-looking after just a few hours, or because, although they looked like the right shade in the drugstore, turned out to be too dark or too yellow. And one tube will easily last three months.
This, and the Double Wear foundation, are two products I can't go without.
