My thoughts:
I bought this concealer because I was out and I felt like trying something new and inexpensive.
So…
The coverage is good. I mean, it didn’t completely cover my dark under eye circles (most concealers don’t anyways, not even those expensive, high-end department store products) but it did minimize their appearance and I couldn’t be happier.
Even though this concealer is somewhat thick, it goes on very smooth and I had no trouble blending it. I didn’t experience any creasing and it didn’t settle into fine lines. And best of all, it’s cheap and super long lasting.
The only problem with this concealer is that there aren’t that many shades to choose from. I bought this concealer in medium beige and the color is okay but it would’ve been perfect if they had a shade in between light beige and medium beige. Also, just be careful when you apply more than one layer of this stuff, because if you layer it too many times it can start looking cakey. But if you’re only trying to cover a few flaws then this stuff works wonders.
Overall, for what it costs, this concealer works well.

CoverGirl Fresh Complexion Concealer
($4.99) Glides on smoothly to help conceal dark circles and imperfections. This lightweight formula contains skin-brightening pigments that diffuse light. Easy to apply, lasts all day and won’t cake!
My review:
The coverage of this Covergirl concealer is sheer. It doesn’t cover my under eye circles or any of the redness on my face. However, it does brighten the area under my eyes beautifully but since it doesn’t give me the coverage that I need, I rarely use it as a concealer. When I do use this product, I use it to illuminate the area around my eyes.
Overall, as a concealer this product is blah but it works a lot better as an eye brightener.

This is a liquid, double ended concealer/highlighter tube. And I like that this stuff blends easily, and it goes on smooth.
The coverage is okay. It covers just about every one of my skin imperfections, except for my really dark undereye circles. Well the concealer does minimize their appearance but it doesn’t hide them completely.
Actually, I have never found a concealer that completely covers the darkness under my eyes and trust me I’ve been looking. Maybe, my undereye circles are just too dark to hide. I mean I can make them look less noticeable but they never completely disappear.
I’m simply one of those girls that desperately needs to cover the darkness under their eyes with a good, long lasting concealer. So you can imagine how ecstatic I was that this stuff stays on all day. I didn’t have to do any touch-ups throughout the day. Yay!
Anyways, the coverage of the concealer is good but not perfect. The highlighter does an excellent job at brightening your eyes and face. Also if you want, you can use it under your eyeshadows as an eye primer.

I loved Maybelline’s Dream Liquid mousse foundation and I thought I would feel the same about their Dream Mousse concealer. Wow, was I wrong! I don’t even know how to begin to tell you how much I hate this stuff.
I don’t know, it’s a bit hard to describe it accurately. Okay, so it’s a mousse, it has a creamy, spongy texture to it but it’s not as airy as you would expect.
It blends in okay and a little dab is all you really need. Trust me, this concealer goes on really thick and heavy. And it doesn’t give you that nice, natural looking coverage that it claims to give. It’s just way to heavy and it looks fake!
To be fair, though, this concealer does minimize the appearance of dark circles which is good. Unfortunately, that’s not enough to make this concealer a must-have. Because, it still makes the skin under the eyes look extremely dry and fine lines a lot more noticeable.
I can’t recommend this concealer. It just doesn’t look good and I hate it!
