   This is my HG beauty product – period. If I had to give up everything beauty-related – makeup, hair products, perfumes, body creams, etc except for one thing, this is the product I would keep. I love it that much.

   I’ve been buying it probably since I was 14 (I’m 26 now) for my undereye circles. I’ve tried more expensive concealers and different types (liquid and powder) but this really is the best. It’s dirt cheap, thick and creamy, and the lipstick type application, in my opinion, is just easier to use and blend to get the coverage I want. I have noticed that when you try to use them right out of the package there’s some kind of slick oil or something on the top that beads up but just rub it on your hand for a few minutes to wipe it all away and it never happens again. Also, medium is more of a color for pale people than “medium” people. I’m super white and get no sun at all but the light is still too light for me. Medium is perfect.

   Also, I know it works because when I skip it, people tell me I look tired lol! It also blends easily because I wear it almost every day and have had several coworkers and friends comment on how I don’t wear makeup…this is like my secret weapon.

   BEWARE: MADE IN CHINA.

   I use this stick occasionally for blemishes and whatnot, and it’s a decent formula and it’s cheap.

   However the only thing that bothers me is that it is made in CHINA and we all know that China has very poor standards when it comes to the kinds of chemicals they use in their products. I have no idea what half the ingredients even mean. I should be researching them.

   Overall, if you like cheaply priced makeup and need something that works decently, check this out.

   I saw this concelar at winco for like 1.30 so I had to try it out for that cheap!
   I like the stick, when I put it on under my eyes it make them look brighter and bigger! And itssuper easy to blend
   When it started to run low I was putting it on one day and it all came off the stick in one clump.
   But besides that I love it and definatly am going to buy it again!

   I have quite a few of these in my collection, and honestly I keep going back to it out of all the concealers I own. I think the price is the best part, I love finding products that are decent, for amazingly affordable prices. I have no issues with the packaging, the only negative thing I have to say is once the “stick” gets lower it gets harder to get product. But honestly, i’d probably just pitch it, and buy another cause whats the point going through all that hassle for $2? I use the medium, and im a NC40-45 in MAC, and it works perfectly for me. I use a concealer brush with this to blend it out once it going onto my skin. I don’t really notice how long it “wears” cause it seems to last all day on my with my foundation & setting powder. I’ll definitely keep repurchasing.

   This product is pretty good for the money. I use it to cover up my acne scars and redness mostly. One of my friends swears by this stuff, and that’s why I decided to try it out. I like it, but I don’t use it very often (I really only wear face makeup when I’m going to a special occasion). It’s pretty smooth and blends easily if you tap it lightly with your ring finger. There is some settling into pores, but if you use a foundation or powder over it, it’s not noticeable. For the money, why not?

   This was only $2 CAD(walmart) I never find things this cheap in Canada. I find it’s kind of light, but there weren’t really any colours that match my skin tone that well. I know you’re supposed to melt it on your hand then apply it to your face, but I just can’t get it to ‘melt’. When I apply it to my face and smooth it with my fingers, it looks really chalky. I still however managed to cover up redness. The packaging is cheap, I was hoping that it would retract, and since it didn’t I have a few dents on the side from the lid, and the edges have a little product on it. The cover stick is great for undereye circles, and if you put some foundation over it, it looks great.

   I have quite a bit of acne scarring that I try my best to cover up. I wanted to stop wearing foundation completely, to see if it would help my face to not break out. So I’ve just been using this NYC coverstick & then my face powder. This coverstick gives medium coverage, & then my powder (Physician’s Formula pressed powder) also provides great coverage. Now that I’m not using foundation, I look a lot more natural. My face feels healthier without foundation on it.
   So this coverstick does work well, & I’ll be repurchasing today.

    I melted it a bit and put it in an old lip gloss jar. It is better melted down. I use this under my eyes and for tiny blemishes. I will repurchase!!!

    EDIT: It’s greasy and it creases. Will not repurchase.
