Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, SC3

This is, hands down, my 1 absolute must have product.. with possibly the exception of a good lip balm.I first found this Laura Mercier concealer about 13 years ago and have never found anything better, before or since. Not even the highest end concealers last as long, or cover, imperfections as well.A little bit goes a long way and, as embarrassing as it is to admit, I only replaced my last one b/c I realized that it was about 3-4 years old, been around the world with me more than a few times, and that's probably not great for my skin.. even if it still worked as well as the day I bought it.I have mature skin, and all that goes with the aging process so, for me, I think the key to using this concealer is to use it on very hydrated skin to avoid it settling into any little creases.I rarely, if ever, use a heavy foundation. I also swear by the Lumene CC cream in a light medium.Imo, less, or at least the appearance of less, is far more flattering... especially as we get older.On a clean, moisturized face, my daily routine is as follows..A touch of a soft liquid shimmer highligher on cheekbones and the inside corner of my eyes, the cupids bow and bottom of my lips, a touch of soft pink blush on my cheeks and eyelids, and, of course, the Laura Mercier concealer wherever I need it. If I'm wanting a bit more of a finished look..maybe I'll go all out and use a soft brown, or bronze, eyeliner, a touch of mascara, and a pinky nude lipstick under my lip gloss and.. that's it.Out the door and feeling great in 10 minutes top!

This is a terrific product! It is a little bit strange to work with at first, because of its waxy, firm consistency. But this is actually a benefit, because it provides highly pigmented coverage in a relatively dry medium, which makes it longer lasting. The more salmon colored shade on the right is not very useful, however, except for very dark blemishes.

I was very skeptical that this concealer would truly work for me, having tried many others with limitations (Neutrogena, L'Oreal, Physicians Formula, Dermablend). I have oily skin with acne scars and I was hesitant about the price of this product. I'm so glad I bought it (just wish I had done so sooner). Great mixing and coverage options. Stays smooth throughout the day (no caking). Blends perfectly. I'm a believer.

I love most of Laura Mercier products but I was disappointed with this one. Concealer was somewhat dry and cakey. Coverage is good and worked better when mixed with facial moisturizer .

I rarely write reviews but Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage deserves 5 stars. The best concealer I've ever used. I don't like to use foundation so this gives amazing coverage under eyes, on blemishes and any red spots... and when mixed with some highlighter (especially YSL touche eclet) is awesome! I use my finger to apply when not doing a full evening make-up look, and use a good buffer to mix it in, beautiful results. Love it!!

Yes, the coverage is great, but the paste is so thick, sometimes it's actually painful to apply. The skin under my eyes is really thin, hence the really dark circles, so when I apply the concealer I pull at my skin. I've resorted to dabbing the paste on, as better I can, and spread it. One upside to the thickness of the concealer is that it will definitely last throughout the day (as opposed to my previous concealer, for example, which came in liquid form).I also bought the brush recommended for this concealer, don't waste your money! Using your fingers is definitely better.I cannot comment on the mixture of both colors because the darker one is perfect for my skin color (maybe I should've gotten it one shade darker), so I don't use the lighter color.It definitely does the job, it covers my dark circles and doesn't run. I only wish it was a little bit creamier (wetter).

I saw this listed in an issue of SHOP SMART as a suggested concealer for those with rosacea. It took me a year to realize that the usual facial makeup doesn't do the job, and now I'm investigating concealers. My picks are those that are sticky enough to stay put but blendable during application, portable for touch-ups during the day, non-irritating to my skin, and with color choices to match my skin. This scores on all counts for me. I purchased it here, rather than waiting for a weekend to visit the mall 20 miles away, because it had a lower price than my regular on-line beauty source and I"d get it faster; but I did use that source to decide on the color choice, which was accurate for me. After test-driving it, I'm pleased. I use the yellow (left) concealer to tone down the red and then dab on the skin-tone (right) concealer to blend in to my skin. (Directions say to blend the two colors together on your hand and then dab onto face, but I like my method better.) I use a concealer brush, and it works just fine. I don't worry about this leaking in my cosmetic bag during the day. My skin looks balanced in tone without the angry red flush on my inner cheeks.

This is my go-to concealer. It's an excellent product with great coverage. I usually buy through the manufacturer and had a gift card to use.I think a picture says 1000 words, and this is what I received as new.
