    On the days when I don't want my makeup so heavy this is my go to concealer because of how light it's feels on the skin I can't complain about it works pretty good for drug store.

    I was very dissappointed in the choice of colour for this product. I'm an European Caucasian with light skin and all of the products in this are way too light. I purchased the darkest one they had and it was still too light for my skin. And I have not tanned, light skin! I used to use Maybelline compacts all the time and then they were discontinued to be replaced by these mineral poweders that only come in about half a dozen shades. I know am back to using cover girl.

    I usually love Maybelline, but this isn't my favourite product.
    I love how easily it is to apply, but sometimes you can see it.
    My recommendation is to put it on your wrist or the back of your hand and "warm it up" by lightly mixing it with your index finger. I find this limits the obviousness that you're wearing it.
    I probably wouldn't recommend this to my friends, as I much prefer Dream Matte Mouse.

    I think this concealer is okay. I'm the type that needs a lot of coverage for dark circles some days but on good days when they're not as dark this works great. I find it brightens the undereye area and covers blemishes/red spots pretty well. As long as it's blended well I think it's pretty natural looking not cakey.

    My first impression was, "It's a concealer, it does it's job." And it did do it's job, it concealed what it needed to conceal, blended nicely and I didn't give it another thought. Until a couple of hours into the day, when I noticed that the fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes looked 10x worse than normal thanks to the concealer! Based on that fact, I would not buy this product. Since I already have it I will consider using it on blemishes, but not around my eyes.

    I like the concealer as I tend to have dark circles by nature and still get the odd blemish to cover. I got it in ivory which matched well with the foundation.

    I learned, though, that you can't apply it on its own as it is too heavy and you have to have a REALLY light hand to make it work.

    I like it but I need to work on it to make sure I get the right consistency.

    I seldomly use concealer... but the Mineral Power Concealer in Cream did its job well. It has a creamy texture with a matte finish. Using it alone, I found that it did not blend in as nicely; however, I mixed it in with a bit of foundation to cover up some imperfections and I found this trick made it easier to apply. I felt a bit too made up when using this product.. so then I realized you need the smallest drop to cover pretty much all your blemishes/"late night" circles for the day.

    Quick tip: Use a cotton swab/concealer brish to apply the product. The dip stick hold A LOT of concealer and will dip more than you need.

    I have mixed feeling when it come to the Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer. My concealer shade was Cream. I applied it to my under eyes, the redness at the corner of my nose, and on acne marks. Also, I tested the concealer results under 2 kinds of light ; natural sun light and an indoor light bulb.

    Under the two different kind of light it reveal different result on coverage. Overall, the conceal appeared to give far better coverage in the indoor lighting. Under sunlight the concealer appeared only to slightly mute the imperfection. The result under the sunlight were quite poor and won't be worth applying it. The concealer didn't seem to perform well covering up darkness under the eyes and acne marks/scars. The imperfect were still quite visible.

    One thing I did like was that the mineral concealer did a great job in concealing the redness at the corner of my nose. In addition, I did like how light the concealer was and how well it blended in with you natural skin tone.

    From my experience, Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer is not not my favourite concealer. If you just want to buy a concealer the cover up a little bit of redness then this product will do the job. However, for other thing like under eye darkness and acne mark it won't help in providing adequate coverage.

    I have to agree with Ren1 on this one. I am very picky when it comes to concealers and this one did cast a grey-ish hue under my eyes...having said that, perhaps I just selected the wrong shade and need to try a new one. I don't normally use concealer daily but when I do, I need it to cover those dark circles. This concealer worked but could have worked better if it provided a bit better coverage.

    Maybe I'm a concealer snob, but this didn't really work for me. It semi-covered my dark under eye circles, but I also thought it casted a somewhat greyish shadow to my skin. I had better experience with other concealers. Out of all the products from Maybelline's Mineral Power line, this was one that I didn't like at all. For now, I will keep looking for a better concealer.
