MAQuillAGE Dramatic Essence Concealer Stick SPF50 (Light Ochre)

I bought it from the Shiseido official website. I mainly use The Saem and Dior Skin Correct Concealer 00.5N and 0.5N. While these concealers are enough to create a nice base makeup look, I was feeling a bit greedy. For years, I've avoided erasing dark circles under my eyes by using two shades of foundation or a light concealer to lighten them up. Why? Because the more I tried to erase them, the more I was heartbroken by the horrible results they left after time. It ended up getting into every wrinkle, like, "See, see, see! Look! My under-eye bags are awful!" Sobs. Sobs. Makeup artist Kaori Nagai says, "KOSEDECO's Palette Concealer is great for dark circles under your eyes!" Anyway, before that, I'll take a quick detour to try Maquillage's stick concealer. I checked out the medium ochre-infused shade, which is said to be effective at hiding dark circles, but apparently online I read that the Maquillage stick concealer has a softer texture. I thought a softer shade would be easier for beginners to under-eye concealers and require less technique... After buying it, I found that its softness prevented my under-eye area from becoming dry. This is important!!! I've actually used Shiseido's stick concealer a long time ago. I can't remember the brand, though. This one feels easier to use than the one I used then. For my skin tone, I use Shiseido's Ochre 10 foundation. I use my favorite Essence Skin Glow foundation in shades 140 and 220. I learned that choosing a concealer that's just a little darker than my usual skin tone is the right choice. (For dark circles, anyway.) It was quite a challenge fighting the desire for 100% coverage and using just the right amount without leaving my under-eye area feeling dry. lol lol As long as you follow the "use the right amount" rule, you'll be fine. It does a great job. However, it may not be enough for the super-black Kurosuke because it is so easy to use.

It's a stick type that's easy to use and has great coverage. It doesn't smudge, so I really love it.

Many stick concealers are quite hard, but this one applies smoothly. It also has excellent UV protection, which is a plus. I use it on the corners of my mouth, nose, and dark circles. For pinpoint blemishes, a darker shade seems better, so I'm debating whether to buy the light or medium ochre shade.

When I was purchasing Essence Liquid EX, the sales associate at Suzykirei also recommended this product. The concealer I had been using from another brand didn't cover my blemishes, but this one was great because it naturally covered them. I like how it covers them, but not too much.

This is my first time purchasing a stick-type product, and it's easy to apply and spreads well on the skin, making it very easy to use. It doesn't crease over time and provides beautiful coverage.
