   I bought this along with the accompanying foundation and love both for similar reasons. Bourjois produce high end quality products at low end prices – not to mention the brilliant neutral undertones which are universally flattering.

   I HATE the ‘light concealer under the eye’ phenomenon. It makes my (already deep set) under eye bags look worse so I got this in a colour that is (almost) my exact skin tone and it’s beautiful. It perhaps could cover a little more (and I’m not totally sold on the flecks of shimmer in the formula) but it’s so hydrating that my eye area never feels/looks dry, cakey, crepey, oddly discoloured or textured. It is packed with nourishing ingredients and applies/blends like a dream – a pretty fail safe option for those new to make up. It stays put throughout the course of the day without highlighting fine lines (which some concealers have a tendency to do) and is the kind of concealer I even feel comfortable wearing alone without foundation which speaks volumes for it’s quality, versatility and colour match.

   All in all, a brilliant little product.

   Bourjois know how to make a base and the Healthy Mix line is a winner, especially considering the price.

   Tl;dr:
   – hydrating non-oily formula with skincare benefits
   – better for dry, sensitive skin
   – light to mid coverage
   – blendable, but not so buildable
   – creases under eye, not waterproof/longlasting
   – UPD: better coverage with a flat brush

   UPD: I switch my tools from time to time and when I wrote the review Ecotools blending brush was in my rotation, and it has natural bristles. Now I also re-tested this concealer with a synthetic flat brush, which I for some reason thought is not good for this gel/watery product. But actually you can build it up to very good coverage. Sponge still works great for seamless blending, but it takes away from coverage. For max coverage use this on top of blended foundation, dot tiniest amounts (I just dip the brush onto applicator to avoid accidents) and blend gently with a flat brush. Optional: let it dry for a couple minutes before blending. If you like the layering technique from my review, blend the first layer with sponge and proceed with the same steps for the smoothest appearance. This concealer is slowly becoming my staple already, wow! I just love the skincare properties and how comfortable it is.

   Had this for a while, and recently retested a few times. When I was buying it the rating on here was even lower, but I got it anyway since I absolutely love the serum foundation (HG!) and Healthy Mix line is very interesting to me.

   My favorite feature of the line is the amazing hydrating feeling. It’s like you are applying a refreshing HA serum. I haven’t tried a concealer like this. This would work great for dry skin, but it’s not oily in the slightest. My is normal/dehydrated and this product could be the cure in the winder (terrible air dried by heating! get your air humidifiers out of the closet, ladies). HM formula sinks into my skin. I don’t detect fragrance, maybe just a little to cover up the ingredients. This concealer is the type that won’t create issues for your skin, but you pay for it in terms of coverage and lasting power.

   This one suits the Healthy Mix line, because it’s medium coverage at max. French women, according to Justine Leconte on YT, avoid visible makeup, so seamless blending is more important than coverage. I think it applies to the brand. And it completely works for me. I have quite a bit of spot hyperpigmentation, but I can’t be bothered to blend pigmented complexion products, not to say to find the actual skin tone match in acceptable formula. I just want to blur it a bit (and later, not to spend an hour in bathroom washing off the chemical stuff!).

   As I always do, I recommend layering concealer – first create a faded area by using a little, then pinpoint the actual spots (it will have something to stick to). It blends well, but not very buildable, so don’t try slapping a ton to create coverage, I mean you won’t ruin the look but there will be way more blending to do (remember kids, you can always remove excess with a tissue or clean sponge). I think that both the foundation and the concealer work better with a clean wet sponge, bc they are very watery. But I use my Ecotools blending brush sometimes for quicker application, and it’s ok since I can help with my fingers.

   This can be worn alone all over, which is currently my preferred way. I lightly set it with the powder from the same line (had to get to test it too lol). While concealer is rather pale and cool leaning, the powder is warmer and also oxidizes a bit, so in the end the complexion looks quite healthy indeed. It’s not super long lasting, but given its low maintenance nature, you could just carry it and touch up with fingers (I don’t know who needs to hear this, but wash your hands before).

   Important: I suggest using a different concealer for under eye area, since even with my moderate usage it creases very quickly. So if you have really dark circles/deep crease lines and want to have only one concealer, don’t buy it! Get Catrice Camouflage, it’s cheaper.

   The packaging is cute and sturdy. Lid stopper dispenses a small amount to applicator which helps not to overdo it. The tube has exactly the same rectangular shape as Bourjois lip products and cream shadows, so they all can be stored together (if you like HM, try their matte lipstick, it’s refreshing on the skin too and has a nice fresh berry smell, 01 is the no-brainer universal Bourjois red). It’s shorter and wider than most tubes, probably made for the purse. I don’t hate it but I actually prefer the plain tubes which I can stick into mascara/brows section of my brush holder.

   All in all, this is great but not an essential for me, I’m on the fence about re-purchasing. I probably will, just for the cooling hydrating feel.

   Oh dear, my reviews have been so huge lately, should I start a YT channel lmao? 😅

   Love this product! It’s consistency is perfect, easy to blend in and is not orange toned. It isn’t full coverage however but it’s perfect for me. I use it to cover redness of spots and use it for under eyes. It is also affordable. Great product.

   LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

   Honestly this concealer is amazing for the quality and the PRICE. Not a lot of people know this but Bourjois was owned by Chanel For many many years. The quality and formulations are sooooo similar and even better ..at a very affordable price. Covers darkness, brightens, lasts long, consistency is light but not too watery. Also contains vitamins like the healthy mix powder. Just a wonderful product and brand. My holy grail!

   Packaging has a built in application stick swab thing which is okay for me BUT I know it can pick up germs and then put those germs back in the bottle so it’s unhygienic.

   It covers lightly; I have very dark brown under eyes and it only slightly coveres unless I pile it on but I can’t do that because I have dry under eyes as well which this concealer clings too. Now acne coverag is very poor, for me anyway I can’t deal with it.

   I have in the past applied it over powder which has sometimes worked but it doesn’t last long like maybe a few hours if it’s not humid and you dot secrete any excess facial oils.

   Lastly, I have fair skin and I can see the yellow on my skin. I am yellow toned but it is visibly yellow like too yellow for me becase there’s no fair shade.
