   Hi, I tried the Flower Beauty Secret Service Cover Up Concealer, and I loved it, by the least when compared to drugstore concealers. I think it compares to quality brands like Elizabeth Arden and Lancome, which are overpriced relatively. I loved the nice creamy texture that is not drying, does not settle in my wrinkle lines, and gives a beautiful healthy glow to my under eye area while moderately concealing throughout the day. The closest thing to it I experienced was the Maybelline Superstay Concealer. Another product I tried in Drew Barrymore’s Flower Beauty line is the Foundation, which was a little more dry and did not feel like it was oil free (as I need a matte formula for my especially oily T Zone) , but this is because it has a more likely mineral formula to it (hectorite is included for example), which is what attracted me to try it in the first place, it seemed impressively cleaner than other foundations (as a chemist I read labels!). That said, the formula may still be good for and perhaps for normal skin; I will have to get the right shade for the foundation and give it another try, because the first time I chose it a bit too light for me. I wish for this line and other drugstore lines to release little sample sizes for cheaper prices for customers to try before buying the large sizes. I am kind of annoyed with having to try and switch colors and spend extra money, and then also I am annoyed of buying foundations never knowing whether they were previously opened and used before I did. This fact sends me go to the department stores and sephora to ask for a decent sample and test the product label before I buy. That said, most of Drew Barrymore , much like Elf and Hard Candy, products in the Walmart isle are sealed in hanging packages and you can see that they were never opened and used.
   I am looking for this concealer again but sad to see that it may have been discontinued
   Hope you find my comment useful!

   I love this concealer. I’m so sad it’s DCed. I use this when I want a quick even skin tone. My skin isn’t too bad but I have redness in my t zone & some under eye circles. I’ve hated everything else I’ve tried, HE & DS. I believe I have the lightest shade. This doesn’t sit in my pores or fine lines & doesn’t cause irritation. I have yet to try their other concealer yet.

   I bought this today at Walmart because it was on clearance. I also purchased the Maybelline Fit Me concealer & wanted to try them both. I’ve never really had good luck with concealers, so I didn’t have high expectations for either. Lucky for me, the Maybelline concealer was fabulous, but this one not so much. I got the lightest color (CU1 I think?) and it was very yellow, though it didn’t look like it in the tube. I tried applying it with both my fingers and a brush. The brush worked better, but only marginally. It’s unfortunate that this was the one on clearance because that means I can’t take it back, but at the same time I’m glad it was on clearance 50% off because I’d be pretty pissed if I had paid $8+ for it. I’ll hold on to it & try to use it for covering other kinds of blemishes, but definitely not for use under my eyes!

   This product does not work as promised. Would not buy again. Does not conceal or cover up.

   I bought shade 2. The tube is sort of smoked-clear plastic which gave me the impression that it was pinker like BB Bisque as did the photo on the display, but once opened it was very pale with a faint pink. Waaaay too pale for me, gave me reverse racoon eyes. Coverage was very sheer and ineffective. I returned it.

   I absolutely positively love this concealer. Better than all the high end concealers I’ve tried. The concealer is great for the under eyes it covers everything! Its a doe foot applicator with very pretty and efficient packaging. The concealer itself is creamy and sets itself. once its set you’ll see some creasing but just smooth it out and it won’t crease at all for the rest of the day. I’m very fair skinned so i’m so happy this concealer is light enough for me. This product is best for the under the eyes but is also great for redness. This concealer gives great coverage unlike most doefoot concealers. I do think the shade selection is lacking but I feel like the face products are kind of abiding by the concept of iman’s line of cosmetics only that this line is geared toward pale people and iman’s lined is geared towards colored women.

   I guess I’ll start with the good … in a nutshell. Creamy consistency, blends easily, cute packaging. Yep, that’s pretty much it.

   The low rating is because it’s marketed as a concealer for blemishes and imperfections. The coverage is not nearly as heavy as it should be for that. The biggest beef I have with this is the shade range. Shades SC1, SC2, and SC3 seem to be really pale (I would probably say NC15-20 in terms of depth). They just differ in undertone. SC1 is yellow, SC2 is pink, and SC3 is peachy. SC4 just looks too dark for me. I believe that a line of blemish-covering concealers would have a more extensive range of shades to suit more skins. If you’re looking for something in the Flower brand to conceal pimples, acne, etc., I think using their Skincognito stick foundation would be your best bet.
