After having used and loved the Bobbi Brown Creamy Corrector for over a year, I thought it was finally time to give the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer ($23) a go.
Although, not the creamiest of concealers (as the name would have you believe), this product applies and blends easily enough. What I particularly like about this product is that you can use it both for under your eyes and on blemishes, something that rarely happens with concealers.
However, as great as it is that you can use it in two different ways, that does mean that it's not very illuminating for under the eyes, which means I'll use it on it's own on those rare days where my under-eyes don't need much brightening, or I'll layer it with another concealer that is more brightening, but without the coverage (the L'Oreal Lumi Magique and the YSL Touch Eclat are good choices for this). Of course, that puts me back into the two concealers category, which is a shame.
The color-match is really great for me, I wear Porcelain, and works really well for me. The longevity is also pretty good for a concealer. Due to the fact that this isn't a very heavy-duty concealer, but a bit lighter coverage, the fact that this lasts pretty much all day is nothing short of fantastic. Of course, if you wear heavier coverage concealer it will obviously last longer, but this does work nicely, especially for Summer.
Once again, since this is a lighter coverage concealer, I wouldn't recommend this if you have a lot of noticeable blemishes to cover or really dark circles, I'd go for something with more coverage for both of those, but if neither of those are issues you have, and if you're just looking for something to cover the odd spot and cover some (not so) dark circles, this would be a great option, especially because it doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
Overall, I would recommend this, but only to those people that I specified it to. If you have a lot of concealer-needs, this might not be for you.
