Paula Dorf Magic Stick #3, 0.12-Ounce

Did not give smooth and even coverage. Did not go on evenly. Streaky

I have been using the Magic Stick concealer for over a decade now and it is still my favorite heavy coverage product. It holds up well through sweating at dance performances and is also great for every day use.It is a thick, creamy formula which blends well for covering blemishes, broken capillaries, and red areas, and it leaves a matte finish. It is thick for under eye use, but I sometimes mix a small amount of the concealer with moisturizer and liquid highlighter and then apply it under eye when I need extra coverage, and it acts as a great base for heavy eyeshadow and brow fills after it has been set with powder.

Great coverage

Not as smooth as I'd like...noticeable on my Rosacea I'm hiding...good in a pinch...great for covering bruising perhaps...

I have been using this for many years - it's the best. Blends really well. I have fair to medium skin tone and use #3 most of the year but use #4 in the summer. As I start to tan (or when my tan fades) I blend #3 and #4 together (just dot one on top of the other and blend gently with your finger) to better match my skin tone. I also often use a tinted moisturizer and it blends well with that. It's easy to dab a tiny bit in the corner of the eye to cover dark circles and blend below and above the eye - it can smooth onto the eyelid and serve as a base underneath eyeshadow.

This concealer does cover dark circles and redness, but it does crease underneath my eyes really fast. You def need to set it with a mineral powder; That did the trick! This should be priced at 10 bucks instead.

NIce concealer. I would have given it 5 stars but the one before I was replacing seemed to melt down rather than wear out in the applicator.I hope this has more of a shelf life. The product is great.

Stays on all day and is the right consistency to cover dark circles fully. I use some loose powder over it to fix it.
