In her recent book "Free Gift With Purchase," the Beauty Editor of Lucky Magazine, Jean Godfrey-June, writes: "I'd like to say in every issue that Laura Mercier's concealer is the best....."
I'll second that.
Mercier's pot of Secret Concealer is a bit of magic not only as a cover-up but its moisture-rich, emollient formula is also TLC for the dry, sensitive skin under our eyes. The addition of Vitamin E stays moisture loss while Vitamin A conditions skin.
Just a wee bit of Secret Concealer gives maximum coverage that looks totally natural as it banishes fine lines around the eyes and obscures any darkness or shadows beneath.
I'd recommend setting it with Mercier's Translucent Powder for long lasting day into evening cover.
this is the perfect finishing for my "wake up" look, i just dab some of this on with a small brush on top of my laura mercier secret concealer around my eyes and i have the perfect,natural looking TOTALLY AWAKE look! great product!

This product is a must with Secret Concealer. It is a very finely milled powder and will help to set the concealer. I prefer this to another finely milled powder because it really does brighten the eye area! Not sure what the special ingredient is, I guess that's why they call it "secret"!
I use Lauras brush with it, but I think any similar brush will do!
Pros:Ultra fine milled Cons:Might be considered and expensive powder by some
I am a MAC NW20, fair olive skin, brown hair and brown eyes. I use this in #2.
This concealer looks dark in the pot, and when I first saw it I thought there was NO WAY that would blend with my skin. I patted it on and it just instantly melded with my skintone. This is fairly moisturizing, and you really need the brightening powder with it to set it. I recommend this for the undereye area only!
I like the brightening powder because it is very finely milled and will not stick in your creases.
Pros:Blends perfectly, conceals the undereye area beautifully Cons:None that I can think of!
I am a MAC NW20, fair olive, brown hair and eyes. I use this concealer in #2. (this looks dark in the package but DO NOT let that scare you! This is the best match concealer that I have ever had)
This is my all-time favorite concealer!
It is one of the few that will last nearly all day on me, and I am oily. It is a drier textured concealer, but this actually helps it to stick to your skin better. The trick when applying it is to PAT it on. You really do not need the brush for this product. It will warm on your skin as you pat it in.
It does take patience to apply this, but it is well worth the effort.
I would NOT recommend this as an undereye concealer, as it is a bit dry for that. Laura makes Secret Camoflage for this (you need the brightening powder also) and the texture is better for under the eyes.
Pros:Stays all day, excellent color matching, compact lasts forever, excellent value for the money Cons:Can be difficult to blend
I have no clue how I lived without this for so long !! Ths stuff REALLY works !! It is pricey, but given the fact that you need just two swipes of each color, it will go a long long way. That balances out the price factor. think my quest for finding the perfect concealer ends here, thanks to BeneBaby (Amanda), who recommended it. I will definitely buy it again, if I EVER run out of it *lol*.
This is by far the best product I have ever used. It covers up almost every imperfection you can possily think about. I use it under my eyes to cover those veins (eww) and sometimes to cover a pimple, it's like it was never even there! I highly recommend this product! It's already my 4th tube. The price is $22 a little expensive but last a long time.
Pros:Covers up everything very well. Cons:a little pricey
Im editing this review to a down grade. I find it just too creamy and doesnt quite last tough than I thought. But it seems ideal for women with dry under eyes.
Pros: easy to put on Cons:Very few color selections, there's only 3 so maybe too light for most.
This concealor takes some work and practice to get used to, you may be like me and not like it at first. It will perform better the more you use it and get the hang of it. It does do a good job of concealing, I'll say that. But it is hard to apply with just fingertips (not recommended), too dry, if you try it this way, you will not like it. Using a concealor brush works best with this one.
It may take some more work on my part, as it says it's a "true makeup artists formula" and highly pigmented (therefore should cover and conceal almost anything). Doesn't glide on like a cream concealor should, more of a soft powdery like finish (apply with concealor brush and blend with fingertips), and doesn't move all day! It takes some work to make the concealer more blendable or workable. Work w/ concealor brush on back of hand. For $28 I thought it should perform easier. It does say to use a concealor brush and to saturate the brush on both sides, then work it on the back of your hand (blending to colors?), then apply to skin, then blend with finger tips.
Another plus, it's not suppose to clog pores, says it's ok for concealing blemishes and/or past acne scars (which it is not mentioned with other LM concealors) Oh and I noticed it contains aloe. It has not irritated my sensitive skin, nor clogged my pores.
Oh and if you want to use it for under eye circles....they suggest mixing it with a good moisturizing eye cream first, or it will be too dry and not perform like you want it to.
EDIT: I just had to come back and edit this now that I've had more experience with this concealor....this stuff ROCKs and COVERS EVERYTHING...so yep it takes some getting use too....LOVE this stuff!!!!
Pros:highly pigmented, 2 shade for custom blending, won't irritate acne, covers everything! Cons:EXPENSIVE, takes practice (you may not like it at first)
Mission: Flawless Skin Arsenal: Laura Mercier Secret Camoflague Uneven Skin and Breakouts...I have it and don't want the world to know. This concealer is by far the best I have ever used. The texture is thick but blendable. It covers it all... If you can grow it, it can cover it! Stays all day and never looks oily or seperated.
Pros:Great coverage and stays all day. Cons:Comes with 2 shades that you are supposed to blend together. The other shade in the kit is way too dark for me, so it is unused.
This isn't really a concealer, but a powder to set under eye concealer. As a makeup artist I'm in the never ending search for a concealer that doesn't crease and there is no such thing. But with this product you can use your favorite under eye concealer and set it with this powder; it's super sheer and won't look drying under the eyes either.
Love it!)
