e.l.f. Studio Corrective Concealer

Comments about elf Cosmetics Corrective Concealer:

I have a fair-medium toned skin. Here's my orginal review:

"I love the mirror, it's the perfect size. The case for the concealer is really thick and durable. The first use, the concealer is not yet creamy, so it's hard to get a bit of the product on your finger or brush. Other than that, it blends very well.

I use Elf clarifying pressed powder in Apricot Beige to set it, although I've never tried it without so I don't know weather it's necessary or not to use it, but I need shine control so I don't think I could go without powder..."

Well, I noticed that this product's nude shades will NOT match most skin tones. I'm not as fair as a redhead, I'm Caucasian and slightly tanned(not pale, but not quite medium or deep). The nude color doesn't match my skin! The green is good though and doesn't rub off after putting some nude colored foundation or concealer on over it (I used to always have that problem). One more thing....The pink looked VERY ashy and fake under my eyes, and almost had a too-pale either sick-looking or hungover look, it was just weird, but I did not use any skin colored makeup over it, and when I tried that, it looked a bit caked on, but better than just pink.

I did manage to make it a better texture and better color by putting a small amount of a liquid concealer/foundation in it. About a half or quarter of a pea-sized amount.

Sorry for the rambling...

This works fine for the very fair. I could easily see how these would turn white on anyone medium-light and deeper. I mostly use the yellow and green-I have very dark circles and a few acne spots. This works okay for raised blemishes but you have to blend, layer and set with powder a few times. I find these work best for flat discolored spots.

I wanted to give this concealer a try since I have a super rosy undertone for my medium complexion. I have had lots of success using green primers and concealers from expensive brands but I was hoping these would work out for me. Unfortunately, every single one of these colors ended up looking ashy and white on me. The green turned out white, the blue, the yellow, it didn't really help conceal my red undertones at all. Also, if you have oily skin, beware the ELF concealers. Their formula is prone to transferring no matter how much you set it. I set this concealer and the other normal tone concealers with the ELF yellow HD powder and in an hour I had caked creases around my nose, mouth and under eyes. It was terrible and embarrassing. If you live in a hot climate I do not recommend these concealers either. With the normal toned concealer I had to pile on tons of the product just to cover my hyper pigmentation. In the end, I had a cakey look to my face because the coverage sucks. This truly feels like and comes off like a dollar store makeup and I'm very disappointed.

If these concealers were a bit more stiff, drying and had more pigmentation they would work well for me. Bottom line is : Dont waste your time with these, save your bread for high end concealers that get the job done with less product.

I really like this product. I've been wanting an affordable corrective concealer for a long time. It is indeed a bit oily, so if you have oily skin you should definitely not purchase this. But I have dry skin in the winter and normal to combination skin in the summer, so it works very well for me.
I like the fact that the colours aren't extremely pigmented, they only have a hint of colour to them, but enough to neutralise any redness, dull skin or undereye circles.

I bought the "neutralize & conceal" palate for my under eye circles. It doesn't even begin to work. It might work if the product wasn't so difficult to apply. The texture is somewhere between a cream and a wax. It comes with a small brush that is almost completely useless in applying the product as the waxy texture of the "concealer" resists getting off the brush.

On the upside, the case is great. The mirror is nice and it's solid. You won't have to worry about breaking it in your makeup bag!

I have a medium to deep complexion, so I bought this product not necessarily for the color correcting aspect but for the tan and beige-ish colors to act as somewhat of a highlight under my eyes. DIDN'T WORK. I used my fingers to apply the product. At first touch it felt very smooth like it would glide on easily, but when I went to apply it it looked extremely ashy and chalky. I am not sure how this product works on lighter complexions but I certainly would not recommend this product to any one my complexion. HOWEVER I tried out the pinky shade on my dark circles and it was okay.

I've read many reviews about the corrective concealer & waited a loooonng while before finally purchasing this. I am over 50 yrs. old w/ semi dry skin. I moisturize but worried that this concealer would only go into the lines on my face, (which are minimal),but still there :( but I washed & moisturized my face b4 application of concealer & I can honestly say the concealer works for me : )) It is easy to use, not sticky or oily, greasy, (like I had read from reviews). I have always had dark circles (hereditary) my entire life, but the pink concealer lighted my usually very visible circles. I am happy w/this concealer & glad I didn't wait any longer to try it. I will def. repurchase when I need to. Try it yourself, that is the best way to know! Thanx for reading... : ))

The texture is waxy and impossible to work with, and after a few tries I just gave up. Definitely not worth it.

This product works good for what I use it for, I use this after primer before tinted moisturizer. After washing my face its always super red around my nose and mouth. I use the green to neutralize. I use the pink under the eyes and the first shade under the eyes. After doing that I apply my tinted moisturizer and it does great at helping the tinted moisturizer (from elf) cover more and I use less concealer on top of the tinted moisturizer. It helps also like a primer before I put on all my makeup and makes my skin more even. Its a little too pasty looking though, I could never use this on top of my makeup or on a no makeup day, its just to ashy looking. It blends ok, but the formula isnt as creamy as the complete coverage concealer which I LOOVE. Even after warming it up by my heater.

The case I bought is erase and conceal. I really like the green color. It works great. It really helps cover the red area on my nose. And the other colors are just as great. However, the product is really hard. It's cream but not soft. You will have to really work it to use it. Another issue is it doesn't blend well when apply on face. Other than this, I like the stuff.
