   Nice looking packaging. I have the color 01. Comes in a click brush pen. Doesn’t cover up much, I like the color, fits well to my asian/medium skin tone, but the coverage is just too minimal that I don’t wanna go through the hustle combining it with other concealers.

   I don’t know what is happening in the world of under eye concealers. The product itself is brilliant, it is even better than the MakeUpForever concealer – and the price is surely waaaay better. I love how the packaging looks – the silver hard case looks really high end. But the clicking system is horrific. You click once and wait. Then click again. Still nothing is happening. After two minutes of clicking half of the tube bursts out from the “brush”. Seriously? Given the fact that it is only 2ml, I hate the waste and I hate the system of getting the product out of the tube – such a pity, because the concealer itself is really good – really yellowy so it conceals my under eye purple circles really good. Ugh.

   A good product with nice coverage, but the dosage system isn’t perfect. You have to click for 6-8 times until the product flows out, and when it does, it’s such a big amount that you quickly run out of face to put it on 🙂 A twist and turn system (such as Catrice’s concealers) works better!

   After trying 2 shades of YSL TE I gave up this horrible product. I find it difficult as it is to find concealer shades. I know TE isnt a concealer but I bought it to use over concealer to brighten and illuminate but it doesnt do anything.
   This Kiko one is great although if used alone would go ashey under my eyes. For reference Im Nc43 and use no3. It definitely provides some coverage and isnt as shimmery as TE. I layer this as a finalstep over my concealer.
   For £7.90 its not bad. I think you get more product as well 2mls.
   However the mechanism is not great. Everyti e I want to use some I have to click the button at least 9-10times and then so much flows out that I have to decant into a small pot. also the brush is quite stiff not at all useful for blending out product at just moves it around. I use my RT pointed foundation brush.
   I would recommend especially since its quite difficult to get darker shades in concealers/under eye highlighters for darker skintones in the UK.
   I think they have another 2 darker.
   Its not holygrrail by any means but its the best I have found so far so would repurchase if I ran out

   A bit on the expensive side for Kiko, as it was 8 euro, but I don’t regret it and would gladly spend it again on this product. It is like a cheap rip-off of YSL’s “Touch de Éclat”, with the only difference being the brand name and price and also that the YSL didn’t do anything for me while this one? This one is the it-enlightener.
   Pros:
   1. It lightens up everything. I mainly use it on my dark circles beneath my eyes and they disappear with a very little amount of product (and I have horrible dark circles that few products have managed to best).
   2. It’s a soft, almost a bit watery, product that is very gentle to the skin. With other lighteners I’ve almost fought them to get on my skin and stay there…
   3. … While this product gets on the skin easily and then stays there for the rest of the day.
   4. For 8 euro it’s 2 ml that lasts half a year. Very worth it.
   5. The fairest colours, #01, is an exact match for someone looking for an lighter concealer and who classifies as a MAC NC10-15.

   Cons:
   1. Not for covering blemishes. I have seen products that can do both but this one can’t. (Just my wishes.)
   2. It has the same god forsaken design as the YSL-one. You can’t have it in your purse, as it accidentally gets pushed at a lot of product comes out and goes to waste.
