I wore this concealer alone for a full day, on one eye with no primer or any powder to 'set the concealer', and on the other eye no primer but set with a loose powder. The concealer managed to look so natural while brightening my eye area. I went for a super natural finish as I wore this concealer with a bare face, and you can barely tell I had any product on my eye area. I love how creamy and soft the concealer feels and that it didn't feel dry at all while working it in. I use the applicator to dab the concealer on my eye area, and blend in with my fingers for a natural finish. Overall, I was impressed by the sponge tip, coverage, texture of formula, ease of blending and finished product this concealer offers, but would recommend being aware of the chance that this concealer may not last the full day in place without proper setting. It is an added bonus to know that I am masking my dark circles while treating them at the same time with Caffeine and Vitamin C (ingredients both known to reduce dark circles under the eye). This concealer should be set well with setting powder to avoid this. The other concealer I use daily doesn’t do the same thing when applied and set the exact same way. It unfortunately didn’t stand up too well during the day as it did settle into my eyelid crease and fine lines under my eyes, making me appear older. I was impressed by the amount of pigment this concealer offers and the finished product looked beautiful and natural. The formula was really easy to work with and blended out nicely and evenly. It was easy to apply an even amount to each eye with the sponge tip. This is a high coverage concealer which covers dark circles with ease. Overall though, I think I have found my new favourite concealer, and will be re-purchasing. I dislike this type of applicator, it seems to absorb a lot of the product and doesn't seem terribly hygienic, as well as feeling quite large and clumsy around my eyes. The only thing I don't like is the packaging- it has one of those sponge heads that the product squeezes directly out of, that you use to apply it to your face. I also had no need to test the 24hr wear claim, so I cannot comment on that. While I like the addition of vitamin C and caffeine, I cannot say that I saw any changes in my skin in the time I have been using this concealer. I do not use powder to set my face or under my eyes at all, and this concealer still did not crease and stayed all day, which is very impressive! If you love full coverage concealers, this is not the product for you- I would describe it as being a sheer to medium coverage, which is actually how I like my concealers. The finish is really beautiful, very natural, not too glossy or dry looking. I have really enjoyed using this concealer! It is almost everything I want in a concealer, lightweight and flexible so it doesn't settle into any creases in my lower lash-line, a decent colour match, the level of coverage I like, a natural finish, and it's fragrance free. I have found my everyday lightweight concealer. Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken Concealer is such a winner because it erases, perfects, brightens, hydrates and refreshes the skin all at the same time while being buildable, easy to blend and comfortable to wear. I also apply the concealer around my nose to cover any discolouration and around my mouth. I use the sponge tip applicator to apply the concealer and then I blend with my finger-tips to give a smooth, even finish. I use the Light shade which gives a natural coverage while disguising the dark circles. By doing this the concealer blends into the skin without leaving dry patches and doesn’t crease and the hydrating properties of the concealer gives my eyes a fresh, bright look. One thing I don’t want is for the concealer to settle into my fine lines so I use an eye serum and an eye cream to ensure the skin around my eyes is firm and well hydrated. I used different concealers that were okay but never totally satisfactory, and then along came Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken Concealer which changed everything. I have fair skin with neutral undertones and every time I looked in the mirror those dark circles glared right back at me. During the last few years I’ve struggled to disguise dark circles under my eyes (just in the inner corners) caused by ageing.
