Conceal your dark circles with Marc Jacobs

I got this without reading reviews, on a whim because I wanted to treat myself to a new beauty product. I have several Marc Jacobs Beauty products, some great, some mediocre but this one may be my favourite. I have the "bright idea" shade: It's a pink liquid brightener, in a sleek black clock pen that is quite elegant and feels luxurious in my hand. This concealer really livens up my under eye darkness without creasing. Not sure how fresh it looks after a full day at work but I have oily skin which tends to break down makeup by mid-afternoon. Not a show stopper for me. I'm really enjoying this concealer and will probably use this to the end!

I received this concealer pen from Sephora for free, to review. I was definitely excited to give it a go since this is Marc Jacob's first beauty collection and it's an exclusive to Sephora. At $47, it's not a cheap concealer. I found that this concealer was very pink and actually worked better as a highlighter/concealer hybrid like YSL's touche eclat. It's a similar packaging style too. It's a pen with a clicking button on the end that dispenses the concealer. I actually wasn't a huge fan of this style. It usually dispensed too much or not enough and though the metal tip feels very cool on the under eye, it isn't very helpful for blending. I usually used a small brush or my fingers with it. The formula is nice, it blends and finishes nicely but it't the best colour or coverage. It really brightens but it isn't the best bet for blemish covering. It creases slightly underneath the eye area as well. Overall, I don't think I would purchase this one. It's not a bad product or concealer, but for the price I think there are other options.
