works great for me!!

This did wonders for my dark circles, but it made me break out because of my sensitive skin. I might not recommend it for an acne concealer.

Yes! I had the same exact problem and no other concealer did the job for me. This concealer is absolutely amazing. I use it for blemishes and under eye circles, and it works wonderfully. I typically break out and have dark under eye circles too, so I'm not just saying that. You won't be disappointed, I promise! :)

I use the product for both undereye coverage and acne coverage. The thin consistency makes it great blending away larger areas of discoloration (such as dark circles). It makes it hard though to concentrate the coverage on a small area such as a pimple, so I usually layer it with a thicker concealer such as a stick-type concealer.

I use it for both as well! It works wonders. I would definitely suggest buying it.

I also have some acne and dark under eye circles and I can tell you that this concealer works very well to cover both. A little goes a very long way too. I recommend this product.

I was looking for the same thing and this works so great. I am in love, best concealer ever!

it covers dark circles well but if you have fine lines there gonna show.

Thats what I needed it for too - acne cover and under eye circles - it covers both beautifully!

I use it for under my eyes and on my acne scars and it works really well for both...I love this stuff.

In BE I'm fair but fair is just a tidge too dark for me, esp if it's the "matte" BE instead of the "original" BE (because the matte is darker, more pigmented and not the same shade of "fair" across the boards). Anyways, I tried the vanilla of this concealer and it was way too dark for me. So it might be perfect for you since you can wear fear to light. I would be willing to say it would fit you just right to get the vanilla.

I use bare minerals in fair as well and I bought this product in the Vanilla shade. It's perfect.

I am also in the fair/light category. This concealer only comes in 3 shades. I chose the lightest shade and it was perfect.

Hi, I don't use MAC, my daughter (blue eyed blonde) uses shade A80 (foundation) and NT30 power and she uses the lightest shade of Too Faced concealer. I'm more medium/light (winter skin color) and use the med shade which is still a tad bit light for me. If you can go into a store, test the sample. If not, remember, the light is very light (for the fair/light skin). You can always mix a tad with your foundation to get a better match. Remember, it is super concentrated and a pin head goes a long way! Hope this helps you!!

You will definitely be the nude color in this! Thats what I am! Its better to go lighter then darker so your face wont be cakey or appeal to be different tones. If you feel like the nude is to light, buy some bronzer and apply over your concealer before your powder!

I use the vanilla shade, which is the palest option. It's not a true porcelain, instead it's maybe one or two shades darker (or yellower), so if you have pale/light skin with yellow undertones it should be a good match.

Vanilla

I bought this in perfect nude and the color was perfect for my nw20. the lighter color is way to pale.

I wear Fair in Bare Minerials too and I got the Vanilla and it blended perfect with my skin tone.

I would recommend the "Vanilla" based on your description.

Most makeup artists would probably say yes, you should always wear a primer. I never wear primers though, they don't work on me. It's good to help stuff stay in place and not slip n slide all over your face. So if you want to forgo the primer like I do, you can apply a finishing spray to set your makeup that should help, as well as a powder over the top. This particular concealer is very creamy so it's moisturizing in and of itself, not needing a primer if you ask me.

Not necessarily, the product has great coverage on it's own, but adding a powder on top will help to "set" the product and produce longer lasting results.

A primer should be used under foundation and concealers because it makes products blend so smoothly, especially over creases.

When I was yoinger I didn't use a a primer as they really weren't out there. Now that I'm 40 and was a sun worshiper, I started using a primer. I highly recommend using a primer for several reasons, it helps your foundation stay on longer, minimizes pores big time, and nourishes skin. I feel using a primer helps me look younger, I use a primer for eyes as well, makes eyeshadows glide on and not make the colors look harsh or eyes older. And the eye primers prevent eyeshadows from creasing especially if you have oily skin. There are even waterproof primers so that you can enjoy water sports/activities and humidity. As for choice it's all up to individual taste. I discovered Sephora while in Las Vegas and I have not returned anything yet. I am a repeat customer.!Also try to stay with same product line (not always easy). Great ADVANTAGE TO SHOPPING @ Sephora is you can go to the store and try the products and get what' works for you!!! They have very helpful ,knowledgeable employees with no pressure to buy!! Yes, love the primers!!!!!

i've tried using this as a primer before, and it did make my colors seem more smooth and more nicer, it didn't really help at all with making it lost longer, so i don't really recommend it as a primer.

That is exactly what I use it with and I really like it too!

This seemed to work better than a primer to me. I use it all the way around my eyes not just underneath and it seemed to make my shadow last longer and does not appear to be the least bit drying to me & I have dry skin.

I have "problem" skin myself, and I would not recommend this product to anyone else with oily skin either. It seemed much too oily to me and certainly didn't help my skin out. I don't know if it does in fact have an oil in it that is proven to aggravate acne-prone skin, but it certainly seemed to for me.

I use that same powder foundation and I will put this all the way around my eyes and in the hollows of my eyes next to my nose. I blend this really good, set it with a very fine finishing powder like mineral veil and then finish my face with the powder foundation. I have fine wrinkles around my eyes (46 yrs old) so I find if I use too much powder it accents the lines more than I like. If you are younger putting the powder foundation over it should be fine but let it set good otherwise it would probably get a tad cakey. BTW I am a Golden Beige in the BE foundation if that helps any. Good Luck!
