   Best undereye product on the market (beats By Terry, Cle de Peau, Nars, even Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Wand!) It brightens and covers circles the best. You do need to put an extra layer of eye gel or cream on before applying if you have fine lines. And you have to reapply once to twice throughout the day. Completely Worth It.

   My all-time favorite concealer. While it seems like a huge price to pay, you get a ton of product – 3.5g for US$70. The only bummer is its shade range, only three shades are available.

   I take the lightest shade 01 and it’s incredibly pigmented, meaning you only need a tiny bit to conceal and dark circles / blemishes. I find some concealers (hello, Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage) can be too hard and drying on the undereye area while others like the Bobbi Brown ones can be overly creamy, resulting in it creasing and accentuating fine lines.

   The La Mer concealer combines the best of both worlds – high pigment for concealing the angriest of zits and just the right amount of slip for the undereye area. Before I discovered this HG concealer, I used to carry two concealers when traveling – one for the undereye and the other for blemishes. Not anymore.

   The shade 01 light is fairly neutral with a slight yellow undertone, and what I do is swipe the surface of the concealer with the concealer brush (comes with the product) and apply lightly to the inner corners of my eyes. I then use my ring finger to blend that little stripe of concealer out. A little goes a very long way with this, and I’m so glad I decided to take the plunge, despite its high price tag.

   I’ve been using my pot for over three years now and it’s still going strong. Of course, I never double dip and do my best to keep my pot as clean as possible by spritzing rubbing alcohol and wiping off a thin layer every two months. We can’t get hold of La Mer’s makeup range here in Malaysia, so I’ll have to look into getting it online when this finally runs out.

   the good news are, that i didn’t pay for it….
   my sister gave it to me to check out if it suits me , because she didn’t like it AT ALL.

   the bad news are, this is propably the worst concealer IN THE WORLD, regarding all the cheapies too…

   the color match is a riddle, since i had the “dark 03” and my skin is fair -medium with yellow undertones, and this was not dark at all. it was rather intense, than dark.
   it is more of a peachy color that masks quite well some kind of dark circles.

   it is definately very pigmented, so maybe that s why lighter colors seemed white to other members.

   when i first applied it, other than being very pigmented i felt it satisfing and moisturising.
   but….
   some hours after, when it was settled and dried i accidentaly looked into a mirror and having forgotten that i put this on earlier, i was horrified that i aged without having noticed it…
   every single fine line was SO MUCH prominent, and i don’t even have fine lines….
   i put it all around the eyes to brighten them.
   in the upper lid i was seeing little pumps that weren’t even there;;;
   the skin was looking aged, dried and thin.

   seriously, my eyes are much better than this with no concealer at all, and some moisturiser on…

   i will definately NOT PURCHASE EVER, and i am sooooo greatfull to my sister for the swap, because i could accidentaly buy this thing in the future..

   note that the try was in hot and humid inviroment. i can’ t imagine what would happen in cold..

   BIG NO, BIGGER THAN LIFE!!!!!

   EDIT: this try was at night under fluorescent light. maybe my skin wasn’i properly moisturised and the product too much.
   i tried again in day light, too much light actually and too much hit.
   things were enormously impoved. i just put it in a quick sun screen plus powder make up to go out in a hurrry and thought to put this as an around eye sun filter. i had just apply a lot of moisturiser all over and maybe my skin was in a much better condition. i don t know what it was, but no fine-line -highlighting occured. i used less product, very carefully and all went well. the coverage was medium, but i didn’t want to risk any mask- effect.
   i m adding two lippies and keep watching it..

   the absolytely sure thing is that these colors are definately extremely light.
   i used dark 03 in broad sunlight without being tanned and was just my shade. not at all darker. and i m just fair -medium, about nc20.
   can’t imagine what a medium or darker, should do…
