This product is a pen-like concealer with a brush.
You twist the bottom and
the product comes out of the brush..
Here is the swatch..
its a very creamy type of concealer and when blended into the skin.. As you can see, this has a pinkish tone to it.. and its perfect for my skin.
it not only conceals but highlights too.
At first when I was looking at this at the store, I didn't have very high hopes for this product. I thought that any concealer with a highlighter was not such a good idea because if you are concealing a area on your face, you would also be highlighting it.. which is not something I really want to do.
However, I was shocked at how well this works. Normally, I use this over my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer and it really does give my eyes a lift. For me my normal make up routine is ..
Moisturizer and maybe a primer if needed..Then foundation & concealer..and before I powder.. I do my eye make up so if I get any fall out I can clean it up easy with my foundation brush. Well.. I have been using this after my eye make up and it just lifts my eyes even more. I am shocked at how much I love this product. I think it looks amazing on. I do powder lightly over it with a finishing powder. It last all day and it does not settle into fine lines.
I have tried this before without any other concealer and it works pretty good alone. Its even buildable but if you do have dark circles you are going to need a heavier concealer before using this. I feel like this highlighting pen really subtly brightens up the areas you want and it just looks natural. And I also did try it around my lips because I have rather thin small lips and it does give a little boost to help them look a bit fuller too! I just outlined the top and bottom of my lips..blended it in with my fingers and then went on with my lip liner, lipstick and gloss and it really did make the appearance of my lips look fuller.. Yea!!
I have took pictures of myself wearing this and it looks really good on camera too. I am shocked at how well this highlighting concealer. I only have one of these but in the coming days I plan on getting another one for my purse. I haven't really had to reapply this during the day but I imagine if I do, it will just give me a more rested and brighter look.. and who doesn't like that on days you are tired.
Over all I would rate this at

Here is my quick video review..
I know my videos need a little work.. I am trying to figure out Window's movie maker so please be patient with me. I don't really like being in front of the camera so I am doing reviews my way.. but hopefully you still get a great review that will help you make the decision if you should try a particular product or not! Thanks for watching!
Have you tried this? I would love to hear from you!
