And can it hide v dark circles? My shade is out of stock online and there isn't a Bobbi in my nearest town but I'm willing to travel if I know it's good Grin I've not been a fan of their concealers before but This one looks promising. I normally stick to Mac but it's not really hardy enough for my eyes..

Yes, I have it and I'm not convinced tbh. I find it's really thick so rather than applies smoothly, it's really 'paste' like. Also, it sits in my under eye lines really badly - it just settles there and makes them look worse (I'm 29 btw, so the lines aren't even really bad). I still find I have to colour correct as it doesn't knock out the blue in my dark circles very well.

Yes.I like it but I'm not sure if it's that different to the creamy concealer which I've used to years.I don't find it thick- well, it is but it goes on smoothly. I don't know how much is in the tube though and doubt you can tell when it runs out.
It def hides dark circles.

It's quite light reflective so if you choose a shade too pale it does give a reverse panda eye.

I chose Ivory which is the shade I used in creamy concealer. I'd say it comes up a tiny bit lighter than the creamy concealer.

I think you still need to powder over it lightly or it doesn't last all day.

It's very thick and dries quickly so almost impossible to use. I won't be buying it again.

I really don't find that at all.

I actually find it very creamy and unless I put a light layer of powder on it, it wears off in time.

It totally needs a brush to blend, can only really be used over well moisturised skin so actually is really good for afternoon touch ups. The applicator isn't good, it's a strange stick. Colour slightly lighter than foundation shades (beige here). Does cover well though!

I like it for blemishes and pigmentation as it's v high coverage. Not sold on it undereye, prefer nars one for that I think

MrsJayy · 20/08/2017 10:19

Hate hate hate it bobbi brown woman applied it on a blemish i have hid it fine bought it and its thick and pastey and just sits on my face i tried blending using a teeny bit nothing helped i wonder if it is meant for younger skin im in my 40s

PollyPerky · 20/08/2017 10:37

I've got more than a decade on your MrsJayy and like it.
It does need blending. I have a 'spot' on my face which is an old blemish which has left a raised, red lump :( It's the only concealer that covers it. I apply a blob then blend the edges away with a concealer brush.
I also find it fine for under eyes.

Maybe you are using too much? I put a line of small dots of it from the inner corner to mid eye, then blend by either pressing with my finger or smoothing with a brush.

SinglePringle · 20/08/2017 10:41

I like it for undereyes if I'm doing a full make up - I find it quite heavy but good. As others have said, there's not much slip with it, so you have to work it quite quickly. I put dots of it under my eye and then pat into place with index finger / beauty blender. I don't find that it sets into any fine lines.

Also like it around my nose.

It's good but it ain't the Holy Grail.

MrsJayy · 20/08/2017 14:07

Maybe I am not using it right polly but it looks claggy on my face

Pappawasarollingbone · 20/08/2017 20:17

It just seems very dry. I love Bobbi Brown so I was really surprised.

QueenoftheAndals · 20/08/2017 22:47

Not impressed. My NARS radiant creamy concealer is miles better.

PollyPerky · 21/08/2017 08:58

I use a good dollop of moisturiser all over my face, then Dior Star foundation then this concealer. When I take the wand out I can do almost both under eyes with it, that's from inner corner to mid under eye. it's not cakey or dry at all. If you are putting it on dry skin with no moisturiser under then maybe that's an issue?
