I can still remember the day when I first used concealer. I was in junior high hanging out at my best friend’s house. Seeing a tube of concealer on their bathroom counter, I helped myself and put a few dabs under my eyes. Holy crap on a stick. It was like I had an eyelift at the age of 13.
Even then I could appreciate what concealer could indeed conceal: under eye circles, a nasty blemish, even worse–under eye circles due to getting no sleep and staying out too late drinking (this was at 23 not so much 13). Anyway, I haven’t been without it since.
I’ve tried my fair share, drugstore brands and heavier duty ones from the department store. I did not find my one true love until a few years ago when I tried Arbonne’s About Face Cream Concealer. I stumbled across it because a friend of mine started selling Arbonne and I am always on the lookout for something that will hide that-which-we-will-not-speak-of.
It. is. lovely.

Thick, creamy, matches my skin tone exactly. I go with “Fair” October through June when I’m a Whitey Ford, and “Light” June through September when I’m actually not translucent. It blends easily using either my finger or my makeup brush.
The best thing? The small pot lasts forever. Listen, I don’t leave the house without a tidgy bit of concealer under my eyes. Even to the gym, ladies. (Yes, I am that woman.) So as often as I dip into the tiny pot, a little goes a long way. And when a little goes a long way–the supply lasts forever.
Bottomline: A tidgy pricy at $20.00, but ever so worth it. I heartily recommend.
