Do not cut off the tip!! You just twist the bottom piece and the concealer comes out.

no need to cut anything, just twist the bottom a few times and you'll see the makeup come out

Do not cut off the tip! It is actually anti-bacterial which is great. Just twist from the bottom, and eventually you will have liquid come out of a tiny hole on the side of the applicator (does not come out the very top).

the tip is there to regulate the flow of the product- and be careful. a little goes a REALLY long way. that tube lasts a LONG time if you apply sparingly.

You just turn the bottom of the pen. As you hear the clicks the product should come up from the hole in the top of the plastic tip. DONT cut anything! :)

No don't cut it! Just turn the base like 10-12 times to get it flowing. It comes out a little hole on one side near the tip.

I use a tiny firm brush to apply this wonder product (I have a lip liner brush that I only use for this purpose) - I click a portion onto the back of my thumb or hand, then dip the tip of the brush into the concealer, and apply it to whatever I'm trying to cover. Then I use the tip of my finger to dab and blend it a little. No caking, no settling into lines for me and I'm 40 (sometimes a little in the crinkle of my lower eyelid if it's warm and humid out).

Umm I wouldn't use this for fine lines under the eyes because it does tend to settle into it.

I did not find this to blend well. I do not use for under eye. I really like Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in the circle pot for under eye.

Yes. That is my under eye issue (no discoloration). I use it and adore it. A little goes a long way, and it stays put. If you use it over a nice silicone eye primer, you will have the under eye area of an 18-year-old! I can't be bothered with the extra time and effort for a primer, and this product alone works wonders. Enjoy!

No, not at all. Really settles into lines. I've been using Lancome's Maquicomplet and I love it. It's really creamy & doesn't enhance fine lines.

Yes, it does not look dry under the eyes. The light defusers will actually give the eyes a brighter, softened look.

I also use BE but have found that it just doesn't conceal my under eye circles as well as I would like. I tried this concealer and fell in love. Not only does it completely cover my dark circles, but it's also not cakey at all. To help prevent the cakey look even more, I use Too Faced's Wrinkle Injection. It leaves your skin perfectly smooth and helps keep the wrinkles away and makeup from settling.

This is excellent for dark dark circles and the only thing I would say if you have fine lines is to apply an under eye creme before use and use with a makeup sponge if possible because it dries very quickly when you apply it so its better to use a sponge (like the triangle ones) in order to apply it evenly

I use a light diffusing under eye moisturizer from Dermalogica to give the concealer an extra edge against my dark circles and no creases.

I have the same issues. I use pur minerals and it blends in great. I would imagine it would do the same with BE.

Yes, this can be applied before your BE foundation. However, if you have pretty dark circles, i recommend a color corrector BEFORE your concealer to neutralize the darkness. The concealer alone will HELP, but will not completely erase dark circles. Try MUFE camouflage pot in #20 before this concealer.

yeah, mine does that too. you can't really fix it but if you make sure before putting the cap on that you wipe off any remaining product, it should decrease the amount of oozing into the cap. typically after i twist it, use the concealer, i have to wipe it off again in a few seconds and use the extra that has oozed out.

I twist it up just enough that a only small dot comes out of the tip and then I actually squeeze the rubber tube to get out the product left in the tube. This gives me just enough to use for an application and nothing spits back out. Hope this helps!

I have actually found it much easier to squeeze a bit out of the tube onto the back of your hand, then use a concealer brush to apply it. Better and more lightweight coverage with out the seepage!

I have not had that problem at all, maybe its just a bad tube for the concealer?? Maybe go into Sephora and explain your problem, all my experiences with their consultants have been great, so maybe they can help you out??

yes i have the same problem

I don't reccommend using it to cover blemishes because it brightens the area and makes the blemish more noticeable. I use it only under my eyes.

I recommend the MUFE waterproof full coverage for large red blemish and scar coverage, it's a little more tricky and takes more time to blend in though. This product is excellent and effortless to cover small blemishes, undereyes, and imperfections.

Yes it covers redness and blemishes well. It doesn't get dried out and scaly looking which is great for covering blemishes. It also blends really well with foundation.

I have dry skin so I cannot testify to the performance of the product for that skin type except to say that the product is not oily and lasts all day. The coverage is great and lasts all day.
I have been impressed with every Make Up Forever product that I have tried.

covered a few blemishes that I had I also have a deep expression line above my left eye and it filled it right in .... like it was never there !!!

I went into the store and had a sales associate help me with getting the right skintone for me.

Go into the store and have someone help you--I did and she matched my skin perfectly and even showed me how to apply it properly.

i ask a girl in the sephora and she try it on my skin

You really need to go to a sephora and try foundations/concealors on. Have an associate help you if you want to be sure you have a perfect match

Best bet is to read the descriptions for the HD foundation and then look on that page for the corresponding concealer number. (it's under a tab, read the whole page and it will give you instructions on where). Either that, or go into a store and have an associate help you- they are usually really good at that.

I have the same sade like u!And I'm using 340 Sand for light skin with beige undertones!Trust me,this product works fabulous for my skin tone!Nobody can see my scars,and my freckles anymore.Love,love!!!

I am an NW 45 @ MAC

I would say you are either a 117 or 118. Ask Sephora for a sample and try them out first.

Try 325 or 335. I am a NC20 in MAC powder and NW25 in their concealer. Definitely try in the store though... 325 is too light but 335 is slightly too dark for me.

SCREW MAC for coverage, try the Makeup Forever line for unbelievable, weightless, non-drying, coverage!

I have no tips because it doesn't work for me. It makes a mess. I'm very unhappy with this product. AND, all my face products are from the same line, Makeup Forever, so it's not like they are not expected to be compatible.

The correct placement for concealer is under the eye area to cover any under eye concerns you may have (ie;dark circles) press gently with ring finger (least amount of pressure) apply TMor Foundation on face avoiding the concealer, your concealer should brighten the area under your eye.you can always add more if needed don't forget to use a corrector if needed to address any discoloration in the eye area.Tip: apply eyecream before conealer to hydrate.

Not to brag but I can hide the best of them!! :). I know everyone (make-up artist wise) says to apply cover-up first. I never do this because it of course gets wiped away once you apply your makeup (cream or powder). I apply the concealer after my foundation and then use transparent powder to set it. It always looks the most natural.

I haven't had this problem under my eyes because I don't use my tinted moisturizer under eyes, but I have had a bit of the problem you mention when applying tinted moisturizer to the rest of my face if I have tried to conceal acne.

I use Laura Mercier oil-free tinted moisturizer. If the concealer smears a bit after moisturizer application, I simply add just a touch more concealer and blend with the Sephora Collection Airbrush Concealer Brush #57. The three products together have worked wonders for me.

Hope this helps!

PS - If you like the concealer, you may want to try a different tinted moisturizer that blends better with the concelaer without too much smearing.

I would apply the tinted moisturizer before applying the concealer. Although many "beauty experts" would advise against this, from personal experience as well as from the advice of many beauty gurus, applying concealer afterwards will often cover better and provide a more lasting result. I would especially recommend this method for this particular product.

Good luck with that. The advice I've gotten from their 'consultants' has ALWAYS been wrong. Even tho I don't pay for returning items, it still is a huge waste of time since it usually takes a week to get the item, then return it and it takes a week for a credit. And if I want to swap another color, then we have another week to go. The colors are poorly done here online. While I know that screens are calibrated differently, this is all too far off to be even considered close here on the website.

Risky, but I did it successfully. Just based on concealers I'd tried in the past, I knew that lighter ones would tend to be either too pink or too yellow. MUFE does give a few words describing the color, which was helpful. So, I immediately ruled out the lightest ones that I knew wouldn't be a match because of the tint. The next few shades were medium, and then there was another light for skin with beige undertones. I chose that one and it was perfect for me.
Basically, I did a process of elimination based on what I already had experience with. Hope that helps a little.

You've got to look really hard on the Sephora page for this product but under one of the tabs is a list of concealer-foundation matches by number. I bought the product in-store and the clerks had a hard time finding it but it's there.

I would suggest going to a store and trying the samples because the color that matches best for me was not even close to what I would have picked for myself if I hadn't seen it on my skin.

It's pretty difficult to determine a color on line, it basically depends on the resolution of your monitor.

Unfortunately it does settle in fine lines. It is also dry so doesn't look very nice at the end of the day.

I haven't found it settlling into fine lines once it's fully blended.

I was a little worried about "line settling" too. Don't know how it works but this concealer actually does reduce the appearance of lines and definetly no settling!

It does not settle into fine lines around the eyes as long as you dust a bit a setting powder on it.

I bought it because of the positive reviews for fine-line coverage, but it is not true for me. Maybe I'm too wrinkly!
