No i wouldn't. Put the creamy one on first. If you don't feel like you look refreshed enough, then put the camo (the one on the left) on in the corner of your eyes and sparringly where you feel you need it. It kinda sets the creamy concealer.

I used the concealer on the left for my face to cover blemishes and unven areas or redness. Then I use the right side under eye and set both w/ the setting powder.

I like to use the color one the left (powder) on blemishes because it doesn't cake on. I use the color (cream) on the right for under eye circles or splotchy areas. You can set the cream color with the powder. Good luck!

I guess is personal preference. But what I do is, with my ring finger I rub the creamy side and then rub the left side. So, basically I mix both together and then apply around my eye. That way you create your perfect shade applying more of the color you need.

you do them both at the same time. the left side is lighter so it get rid of skin discolerations but you also need to use the right side to get it to match your skin color. just play with it until you get the right consistency/color!

The one on the left is thicker and is used to cover blemishes; the one on the right is cremier and is used under the eye.

Question
I love it, but can't get it to last more than 3-4 hours.
I've tried it with LM oil free primer, with LM primer + tinted moisturizer, Korres oak-primer and Lorac behind the scenes primer (works great for lids, but not for under eyes). Currently I'm running through all the primer samples I can get my hands on, but maybe someone has a better way? It's especially a problem on hot days.

Hmmmm, I haven't had that experience. Are you setting it with the powder? That might lengthen it for you.

I think the answer is after you put the concealer on instead of before. After you apply the concealer then apply with a fluffy shadow brush, the powder, underneath the kit to seal the concealer. I used to use that powder but now i find - MAKE UP FOR EVER High Definition Poweder in Translucent (looks white) works better. Its awesome and helps my makeup last longer.

I use this product under my eyes. I start with an eye cream. This product goes right on top of the eye cream. Then foundation covers the whole face. Then powder sets it all in place. Seems to work for me for the majority of the day. I just reapply if I"m going out that night.

it lasts so long with regular use, you might try it anyway? it's a pretty great product. e.g. If you apply it with your finger, you should be able to judge if you like the consistency? (I know some makeups can separate solid/liquid a bit, over time.)

No, if you haven't used it at all, it should still be fine. Once you "contaminate" cosmetics you need to use them in a timely manner, but if they are unused they have a pretty long shelf life.

Not sure what the color is, but it is very blendable for me. The left is a great concealer and the right is perfect for under the eye. The powder under the ungercover pot seems to really make it blend to the different shades.

I will say undercover pot # 3 is more like medium beige. I have olive skin, and is perfect for me. The great thing about this product is that if you need it to be a little lighter you can add more of one color or the other. The trick is to combine the two colors to get your perfect shade.

Pot 3 is not a color, it's a finisher/setter, also used first to prep skin for concealer.

There are great videos online, but what helped me is that the left is for the spot concealer and the right is for under the eye (I use a small concealer brush). The powder is for setting the product (I use the puff). Hope this helps!

Only the creamy side is for under eye use after foundation. The hard side is to conceal facial imperfections anywhere on the face. Now here is what to do with the hard side: with a concealer brush, swipe the "hard" side 2x each side to pick up product. Then blend & warm the product on the back of your hand. Wipe off excess to leave a light coat of product on the brush and then lightly dab at the scars or any facial imperfections. Then with a light touch pat to blend & set with powder. Then apply foundation. Hope this helps....

I use the dryer/lighter side for undereye (a tiny bit goes a long way). and I use the wetter/darker side for blemishes. (again, a tiny bit gives great coverage) (also: I start with a light layer of foundation (e.g. stila all in one), and end with a light layer of powder)
I also mix the powder with my sephora mineral powder. I like having a little color in my powder v. the transparent matte. but the texture is really nice.

I have never used STilia but i do love the L.M. combo pot. If you find that your circles have not disappeared with just the creamy concealer then use the camoflouge (one on left) on top. It works great! I'm 47 so i have used just about everything and this is the winner for me.

That's what I use it for, and it's been working great. I like to layer the camouflage under the concealer on my circles (though I know that's not what the camouflage is for... it works well this way), and finish with the powder. This is the first concealer combo I've used that's fixed my mascara-smudging issue. I love it!

I had the same problem. The left side was borderline OK when I got it and I liked the ability to blend the two but after about a month the left side is so cakey, I can't use it any more. I finally threw it away. I'm now using a drugstore l'Oreal concealer crayon and really liking it.

The "dry" side is the best! Typically, under-eye concealor either gets heavy and cakey, or disappears/sinks into fine lines. This product is perfect.
I start with caffeine-based eye cream to make the dark circles a little better. Then I dab the product with my ring finger to cover the dark, then I lightly powder to seal it.
I won't use anything else. And I have tried EVERYTHING else...

Yes because the left side is dry so it won't make acne look greasy and the powder makes it last a long time so it won't fade.

The undercover pot should be fine for someone with blemishes or acne. The concealer is an oil-free product that goes on easily and the powder is very lightweight, more like the mineral powders that are so popular now. However, the concealer does give good coverage and stays on all day.

The power can emphasize fine lines (even lines you didn't know you had). It helps to make the concealer less sticky by waiting or blotting it before applying the powder.
