Review: Vincent Longo Cream Concealer
What They Say: "Makeup artists call this product their secret weapon and the best choice to conceal just about anything - without looking heavy or greasy. This cream-formulated concealer comes in an easy to use pot and provides full coverage for undereye circles, blemishes, discoloration, and minor flaws. Blends with virtually any foundation to help achieve a flawless looking complexion."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Aside from the M∙A∙C Studio Touchup Stick which I recently raved about, this concealer comes in extremely close at the very LEAST in terms of quality coverage, blendable texture, and near imperceptibility. There is almost no way for this moisture-rich formula to ever look cake-y or dry. It's definitely worth a try, as long as you've tested and found your perfect shade.
Retail Price: $26.50 (at Sephora.com - sorry UK readers, I couldn't find a resource for you nearby, but for all readers, the Vincent Longo website will go live this summer! Go here to sign up to be alerted when it is complete!)

Review: Vincent Longo Cream Concealer:
Wow. I bought this a couple of years ago, and on me it was like greasepaint - the only concealer I've ever used that looked shiny on my face! Have they changed the formulation?
That said, the color matched my skin so perfectly that I lamented the greasy consistency. From what you've said, it definitely sounds like they've reworked it. Need to give it another try!

Oh my. Well I hear you, that doesn't sound very good at all. Do you have oily skin at all? I wonder if this isn't really well-suited for people with that type of skin...hmmmm. I know it IS very moist, but I noticed that by applying in a very thin layer it soaked right into my skin.
Good point, though.
