What we say:
As a sufferer of hay fever and allergies, I often wake up with dark circles under my eyes. The only thing that really helps is a good quality under eye concealer. I always struggle to find a concealer to suit my skin tone, because I am extremely fair. I seldom find a product that has the perfect combination of pink and yellow tones to complement my skin tone, and that actually matches my skin colour.
Plus, most of the concealers I’ve tested are too thick and creamy, making my under eye area look cakey rather than covered.
What I like about this concealer is that it covers beautifully without leaving a thick layer of product on my skin. My dark circles are drastically minimised, and even when I apply foundation and powder over it, my skin does not become cakey. Plus, it seems to last all day long. Even if I go for drinks after work, the product is still in place. But despite that, my biggest reason for loving this product is that it matches my skin tone perfectly! (even though it is the lightest shade in the range).
I use the little wand every day, and still it lasts a few months before I have to replace it. Definitely on my list of make-up must-haves!

I have been using this products for a few months now and I must say there are some pro’s and con’s. It’s quite a medium coverage concealer, rather than full coverage, in my opinion. I love that it looks natural and doesn’t cake the under-eye area with excess product.
The best thing about this product is that it is so quick and easy to apply. This is the main reason I reach for this every morning instead of my other concealers. You don’t need an extra brush/ sponge, all you do is just turn the button and apply with the applicator and dabbing over with your fingers.
If I have more time on my hands or am going to a special function, I would opt for a more full coverage concealer as I find this doesn’t quite cover my dark circles completely. But for a normal every day look it is more than good enough!
I always have Airbush concealer in my handbag for emergencies. It’s natural looking and offers maximum coverage ensuring my tired eyes and surprise zits are always covered.
