bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Brightening Under Eye Concealer with Mineral SPF 25 + Hyaluronic Acid, Ultra-Lightweight Hydrating Eye Concealer, Vegan

Super Concealer
This is my choice for under-eye concealer! I have purchased this many times and am always satisfied.

Good coverage for dark undereye circles
Neutrogena recently discontinued my usual under eye concealer. I was looking for a replacement that also provided some sun protection. This under eye concealer provides good coverage for the dark circles under my eyes and doesn’t sink into my creases. I dot it on and lightly blend. I usually use Buff in Neutrogena. The Bare Minerals website recommended Fair Vanilla, but it was too light for me. I had the same issue with Fair Birch. I am tan with yellow undertones, and light Bamboo was a good match for me. I was concerned that whenever I buy this concealer, the EXP date on the box is usually 6 months or less away. A little goes a long way, so I don’t think I’ll finish before the EXP date. I asked Bare Minerals customer service about this, and they told me that the EXP date on the package is not an expiration date, but an export date. (That’s a bit confusing.) They said the product has a 3-year shelf life and should be replaced after 3 years of manufacture or 1 year after opening, whichever comes first. If you contact them with the lot number, they will tell you when the product was produced; the expiration date is 3 years thereafter. That effort seems unnecessary, and they should print the actual expiration date on the product.

Blends Smoothly To Brighten Under Eyes
This concealer matches my skin tone and blends smoothly under my eyes for a natural brightening look. You only need a little, so the small tube lasts a long time which makes this an economical buy.

A Disappointing, Clumpy Mess
I really wanted to love this under eye concealer, but unfortunately, it just didn’t live up to expectations. From the first use, I noticed how clumpy and gritty the formula was. It didn’t blend smoothly and left visible patches around my under-eye area. I tried applying it with different tools, but no matter what, it just sat awkwardly on my skin, highlighting fine lines and texture instead of covering them.The texture is far from creamy—it feels like it’s full of small, gritty particles that make it feel uncomfortable to wear. The coverage was also disappointing; it didn’t provide the smooth, even finish I was hoping for. Instead, it seemed to settle into the creases, making it look worse as the day went on.Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this product if you’re looking for a reliable, smooth under-eye concealer. It’s definitely a miss for me.
