Essence Stay Natural Concealer

This product like many others has pros and cons.

The pros: It is hydrating and works well on dry under eye. It blends out very easily. It is extremely budget friendly.

The cons: It provides a medium coverage and therefore does not completely eliminate dark circles. The tube needs to be replaced quite often as it does not contain a lot of product and for a full coverage, you need to apply quite a bit.

I will repurchase this as it works great for those "no makeup" makeup days.

The coverage is very little and quite sheer. It would be good for people with very few imperfections or very light areas to conceal. I wouldn't recommend this concealer to try and hide dark circles because it just makes the area look ash grey. I would recommend it for highlighting though. It comes in a cute packaging which you can twist up to allow the product to come up to the brush. I love the brush because it's super soft and can target delicate areas.

I Recently bought this concealer to try out as I saw it was nice and affordable and I was looking for something new to try for contouring , I don't have any dark circles under my eyes but I do use it as a bit of a highlighter under my eyes and on my brow bone, and for head just to add some light to those areas and It works well for that purpose

I did notice that it gives my skin under my eyes a bit of a tingling feeling which im not used to and not sure if that's normal 'lol'

If you are on a budget, then this is the concealer for you. It covers up redness and minor breakouts. Wil crease at the end of the day. I like to splurge on my foundation and concealer products, but if you don't… go for this one!

The convenience of the brush is what caught my eye. However, I found that it became quite patchy throughout the day. I love how affordable it is, but it just doesn't hold all that much product and isn't thick enough to cover up.

I really want to try this product as I love the brand but whenever I'm at the stores I can never seem to find this in a dark shade

I am absolutely obsessed with this concealer and I have done many reviews on it. As a really cheap product it would be expected to not be that great but I am always sooo impressed with it! It has a great coverage, you get quite a but in the tube and it lasts for quite a few hours. I would say you only need to reapply after about four hours which is really great value for money. I think it costs R45

I should have tried this concealer months ago! Covers my recent acne outbreak well and I don't have to be self conscious anymore. Great price too especially for a student like me.

What an awesome product. I didnt know it was that cheap until I read the reviews below. I got my stick from my style 36 box last December. Like Chicara mentioned below, I thought I had a defective one because no matter how many times I twisted the bottom, the product didn't come through the brush. I gave up really, but tried again a few days later. And behold, product at the tip of the brush :)

Luckily they sent through a colour that was pretty much good for all skin tones. It was a neutral, so it really did cover any dark circles. Because it was the first time the product was pushed through the brush and because I was fighting it, too much product actually got out, so I had to wipe it off the brush and wasted :(

It is a great product for a great price so I would definitely recommend it. I wish they would change the way the product comes out though.

I am enjoying this concealer it really covers up panda eyes quite well, I have just found that there is not much in the actual tube so it has barely lasted me a month

This concealer is perfect for dark marks under the eyes, I use it to hide my dark circles and my marks which I have due to acne

I absolutely love this concealer! I have really bad dark circles and this Touche ÉCLAT type applicator really does the job. On first application you have to turn the bottom of the 'pen' so the liquid concealer can come out of the brush side. I don't know if this was just mine, but at first I thought I got an empty one as I literally turned it 20 times and nothing came out. But eventually it came to the top and now I only have good things to say.

This is very lightweight and so natural looking. It does a fab job of covering up dark circles and doesn't look thick or cakey at all. I love the feel of this on my skin and I love how it blends in so nicely and covers everything up and really stays on. It probably needs 1 or two touch ups during the day, but that depends on your skin.

I got the lightest shade, which is strangely numbered. And this color is perfect. The stay natural name is so true.
This is a great product, especially for R30. I would most definitely recommend this!

Not so great....

Great for my dark circles!
