yes

Yes, the clicking sound indicates that product is dispensing. I suggest to start with no more than two clicks and WAIT a couple of seconds. If nothing shows, repeat process. Once in constant use, two to three clicks will work. It's a small pen, so this product won't last forever, but if you use a separate concealer brush you have better control over the quantity you need and much better application.

yep, when it clicks it is releasing the product. But don't worry because I tend to need to "click it" multiple times before I get enough product to use under my eyes.

You have to really shake this prior to opening; if not the product doesn't dispense. I just shook it really hard and eventually it came out on the "white applicator end". You will know when the product dispenses because you can see it. "A little dab will do you"....hope this helps.

I know I had trouble at first with opening the pen. You take the top off like is shown here in picture. Then you turn the bottom and you'll hear a clicking sound. That clicking is the product being pushed up to the brush. Keep turning until you begin to see the product inside the brush.

Every time you twist it, it clicks and pushes product up into the application tip. You really only need to twist it once or twice when you go to use it but the first time you may have to twist it a few times to load the tip. Hope this helps. :)

For the product to reach the brush it's not a click - it requires a twist-you keep twisting the first time until the product appears on the brush-after that only a twist or two is needed-you see what comes out and then stop TWISTING.

You have to turn it a few times in order for the product to come out. If you have turned in more than 10 or so times, and still nothing is coming out, send it back. Turn the bottom for more than just one or two clicks.

It took my pen a while to dispense product. But be patient, click only twice each time and wait a moment, as you might otherwise suddenly dispense too much. Take off product with a separate concealer brush as it gives you better control for quantity and application.

keep clicking and eventually you will see enough come out to use.

Sometimes it takes a LOT of clicking the first time, but eventually you should see it pushing up through the base of the brush.

Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen is very sheer and buildable to achieve more coverage. The concept is to detract from imperfections rather than full coverage. Dior products are highly pigmented giving them better coverage with less product. Does not settle into lines or look cakey!

I have coloring like you, and I get candlelight. But this really isn't a concealer. If you have dark circles, I would get something heavier. This is very light and really just adds light to your face.

I have olive skin tone with red undertones, but I do have the blue-black bags under my eyes. I've tried everything--concealer, brightener, etc. and Skinflash works best. Like I said, I have darker skin, but the #3 works for me. It definitely appears lighter in the container, but you have to try it on to see how it works for your skin. Once you find the right color, I believe that you will not be disappointed.

It covers very well. I have medium skin and got candel light which was a tad light for me. I also got the double feature by Lorac which I do like under my eyes a lot (it has both a concealer and a highlighter). That seems to get into creases though and is either very matte or very sparkly. This is a perfect blend of both.

Overall, try it, if you don't like it, return it. Oh the joys of Sephora.

No. 2 seems to work for quite a wide skin tone spectrum, but try it in the store - it's worth your time as the product is great. Do apply with separate concealer brush which gives much better control.

YSL has twice the product becasue you have to touch up twice as much. Dior's product also has an ingredient called Bi-Skin. If you have fine lines and wrinkles it smoothes them out by 60% within the first hour of application. So not only are you concealing, brightening and adding radiance, you are looking younger.

I am going to try YSL simply because it comes with twice as much product for $2 more. I love this Dior concealer but lasted me less than a month and I only used it on my eyes once a day. I have no complaints regarding coverage or caking, but I only used it to cover yellowing around my eyes and am 26 with no wrinkles on my eyes; coverage and caking weren't likely anyway - however, there was no creasing, either. I would say, if you're unhappy with YSL because of the product then try this. If you are happy with YSL, keep it. You get .05oz with Dior for $38 and 1.0oz with YSL for $40. Logically speaking, YSL will last twice as long.

I have tried both .. the Dior's one wins .. it is much better .. does not cake up even after hours of applications , needs less touch ups than the YSL does and it is more long lasting and the price is way better than the YSL

i have been using this for 2 years and i love it really does what it says but i decided to give the ysl a try because of the high no. of good reviews but trust me this is much much better i have returned the ysl .

I don't think this product is going to be what you want. It is very lightweight and really just adds light to your skin. Try out the candle light color in a store when you can and see what you think.

I think No. 3 might work best for very dark shadows.

I recommend Make Up Forever HD concealer. You need to try them on to know exactly which color, because they have so many. I have the same coloring as you and I have the same dark circles under the eyes, and this seems to be the one that I always go back to.

Try erase paste by Benefit - apply with a concealer brush and
then gently pat around it to blend in.

As a winter,you'll look great in jewel tone shadows - purples, greens, chocolate brown. Stay away from orangey and gold colors.

I'm not good when it comes to knowing the right color to use for my skin tones either, but that's one of the reasons I shop at Sephora. Everytime I ask a question about color and tone, they go out of their way to help me and I always leave with a new product that looks great on me. I'm sorry I can't give you an answer myself, but if color and tone choices are difficult for you to make (like me), then I'd recommend going to a Sephora and asking one of the staff. It always works for me!

I used #3 but ask a salesperson if you can't tell which one is best for you.

I use Candle Light 002 .... I have medium skin with dark eyes and dark brown hair.

For me, it didn't really last very long. I felt like I needed to re apply half way thru the day, but I have chronic darkness under my eyes. This didn't really help as much as I hoped it would.

All day, no touch up necessary.

All day. I do however dust a little translucent powder over it or in the summer some Bare Escentuals Bisque concealer (when I have nearly a tan) to avoid mascara smudge below my eye. The Skinflash is wonderfully creamy and if you don't wear mascara, you won't have a problem (duh!). Otherwise, coat it with powder.

Really depends on how much you use I use 8 areas and still going strong after 2 months

I have read in the past that you should go at least 2 shades lighter. I would think since there are only 3 colors available, you could go with the pen that is one shade lighter.

Need to match at store, impossible to judge from website. You have 3 choices and one will be almost the exact same as your skin tone but it needs to be applied to see.

Sorry, darlin, but you are going to have to go to the store and try them all. I wear an 001, and two of my friends wear 003, and neither of their skin tones are the same. If you are fair like me, go with 001.

Hi. I'm 58 and have similar coloring. Have a few suggestions that worked for me, as I'm sensitive about the lines on my lids: First, you can wear any color you wish-the application technique is key. I dampen my finger/brushes and apply shadow as a wash. This works for any texture, shiny or matte. Dior's 5-Colour Eyeshadow palette ($58) in Incognito is particularly easy to use. The colors are neutral and chic. Can be used for a subtle day or evening look( especially good with liner and lots of mascara). I smudge a dark brown eyeshadow along the lashline as my liner because it's soft and doesn't emphasize wrinkles. Presently use Lancome's shadow in Vintage Brown (matte finish, discontinued-any deep brown would work). I do like Lancome's eyeshadows because they are easy to smudge, relatively sheer like Dior. My next purchase will be Lancome's Sensational Effects Eyeshadow Quad in Innocence Couture ($42) because this one looks like a winner for mature green eyes.

I suggest grabbing some or Urban Decay's eye shadow primer. I swear by that stuff! Any shadow you apply is going to stay and not crease. When I take a shower at the end of the day, I can feel the eyeshadow and primer resisting the water. I have to wash it off... it will not come off unless I take it off deliberately. Because of this staying power, the eye shadow never creeps into the creases in my eyelids and I have a feeling it will do the same for wrinkles, as well!
