While I don't recommend this concealer for under eye (too heavy), I thought it worked great to cover pimples - good coverage there!

I wore this one day under my eyes to cover dark circles and it looked like a mask, not very natural. Mid-day, it started to look greasy and didn't work well with my mascara (I ended up with racoon eyes). However, it covered the blemishes wonderfully.

So while I do recommend it for blemish coverage, I wouldn't for dark circles under the eye.

My first impression was, "It's a concealer, it does it's job." And it did do it's job, it concealed what it needed to conceal, blended nicely and I didn't give it another thought. Until a couple of hours into the day, when I noticed that the fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes looked 10x worse than normal thanks to the concealer! Based on that fact, I would not buy this product. Since I already have it I will consider using it on blemishes, but not around my eyes.

I like the concealer as I tend to have dark circles by nature and still get the odd blemish to cover. I got it in ivory which matched well with the foundation.

I learned, though, that you can't apply it on its own as it is too heavy and you have to have a REALLY light hand to make it work.

I like it but I need to work on it to make sure I get the right consistency.

I seldomly use concealer... but the Mineral Power Concealer in Cream did its job well. It has a creamy texture with a matte finish. Using it alone, I found that it did not blend in as nicely; however, I mixed it in with a bit of foundation to cover up some imperfections and I found this trick made it easier to apply. I felt a bit too made up when using this product.. so then I realized you need the smallest drop to cover pretty much all your blemishes/"late night" circles for the day.

Quick tip: Use a cotton swab/concealer brish to apply the product. The dip stick hold A LOT of concealer and will dip more than you need.

I really liked this concealer and I use it daily under my eyes to cover up evidence of my late nights out! The dark circles were almost fully covered without looking like I was wearing make-up. This product goes on quite thickly, so just a little goes a long way which also means that it will last me a long time. The “cream” shade suited my light skin colour well and I finished up with a powder overtop to blend everything together. The two things I never leave the house without are concealer under my eyes and mascara, so this was a great replacement to the one I was previously using!

I really like this product as it was very good at concealing dark circles, redness and the odd blemish. I found that it dried quickly. I couldn't dab it all over and then go back over it and blend it in with my fingers or a brush. I found that I had to dab it and blend it right away or it would get thick and cakey. But when applied and blended well it is very effective. I agree with other reviewers that the foundation compliments the concealer very well and actually blends the shades much better. Over all a very good product and didn't cause me to break out! Would buy it again!

I found this product to be very good, but at the same time a little strange. Most of the time I just use a little concealer in the morning to cover up the darker under-eye circles and any blemishes I have (usually fairly rare though). I found this product works fantastically when used in combination with the foundation. Great coverage, blended well, and easy to apply.
However, if you are like me, and dont wear foundation every day, then this may not be the best concealer for you. I found when I wore it alone (sans the matching foundation, it actually didnt blend in all that fantastically and the coverage was minimal.
I will likely continue to buy this as a compliment to the foundation which I loved, but I will probably still my my Stila concealer for days when I just dont feel like wearing/doing a whole makeup routine.
On the plus side though, this and the foundation had no effect on my skin and I didnt notice a change at all between what I normally use (Lorac and Stilla) and this product(didnt have any breakouts or major pore clogging!!!)

This was my favorite product from the mineral line. I have dark circles under my eyes and redness around my nose and this covered them quite well! It had a lot of moisture in it so the areas where I applied it didn't look chalky after. I definitely recommend this!

My overall rating

As with most of the reviews I thought that the colours were misleading and I ended up with a shade that was way too light. This was somewhat corrected when I applied Maybelline's mineral powder foundation and pressed powder on top, but you could still see that it was a bit too light. Besides the colour, I was impressed by the quality of the concealer. I was able to build the colour without looking too caked on. Also a lot of times I have trouble with concealers irritating my eyes but I didn't have trouble with this one. I also thought that it covered blemishes quite well which unusual because if something usually covers my dark circles it doesn't usually cover blemishes that well. I do have to say though that while the concealer covers well it doesn't last that long, by the end of the day you could see the dark circles under my eyes again. I would recommend this product because for the price I think it works well, I would just suggest that you definitely go to the store and see if they have testers before you buy so you don't end up with a too-light concealer! Oh and yes, I like how this concealer had no strong scent as well!

I have mixed feeling when it come to the Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer. My concealer shade was Cream. I applied it to my under eyes, the redness at the corner of my nose, and on acne marks. Also, I tested the concealer results under 2 kinds of light ; natural sun light and an indoor light bulb.

Under the two different kind of light it reveal different result on coverage. Overall, the conceal appeared to give far better coverage in the indoor lighting. Under sunlight the concealer appeared only to slightly mute the imperfection. The result under the sunlight were quite poor and won't be worth applying it. The concealer didn't seem to perform well covering up darkness under the eyes and acne marks/scars. The imperfect were still quite visible.

One thing I did like was that the mineral concealer did a great job in concealing the redness at the corner of my nose. In addition, I did like how light the concealer was and how well it blended in with you natural skin tone.

From my experience, Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer is not not my favourite concealer. If you just want to buy a concealer the cover up a little bit of redness then this product will do the job. However, for other thing like under eye darkness and acne mark it won't help in providing adequate coverage.
