Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer

Since I have yet to find a cream to cure my dark circles I am using a concealer to cover them up.


Currently I like Lancome's, its not heavy like Stila's, it doesn't oxidize like Dior's and Nars, and it doesn't dry up like Estee Lauder's.


Product Description
This natural coverage concealer lets you instantly eliminate tell-tale signs of stress and fatigue. Provides complete, natural-looking coverage, evens skin tone, covers dark circles and minimizes fine lines around the eyes. Long-wear, waterproof formula won’t crease or fade. RESULT: a soft, matte finish.


Ingredients
Water, cyclopentasiloxane, hydrogenated polyisobutene, sorbitan isostearate, propylene glycol, titanium dioxide, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, ozokerite, heyxlene glycol, urea, stearic acid, glycosaminoglycans, honey, tocopherol, sodium  hyaluronate, silica, chamomilla recutita extract, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium sulfate, disodium EDTA, disodium stearoyl glutamate, centaurea cyanus flower extract, disteardimonium hectorite, polydihydroxyindole, acrylates copolymer, methylparaben, propylparaben, diazolidinyl urea. May Contain: Mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxides.


Price
$32CAD + tax (got it from the Lancome Counter at The Bay)


My Thoughts
I got this in Porcelain. The slight yellow tone works perfect to counter my bluish circles.
This is enough for both eyes (lids and under eye)
I like the squeeze tube. The texture is creamy but very lightweight, I cannot feel it on my skin. It is also waterproof which is a definite plus for the warmer months. A little goes a long way so a tube will typically last me 6 months or so. I experience no sensitivity while using it. It covers red marks like no other concealer. In terms of covering dark circles it doesn't completely cover it, but I'm satisfied with the results because I do see a big improvement. This concealer doesn't settle into fine lines nor does it dry out the delicate eye skin. I feel that I look less tired and the overall results are very natural. It stays in place and its reasonably priced.

  1. Your concealed "after" picture looks so natural, as if you're wearing nothing at all, just have perfect skin. Do you still use this product?
