Review - Milani HD Concealer

As promised, I'm going to review the Milani HD Concealer.  I purchased this product in February and I wanted to  it a good try to before I decided to review it.

First off, here's what Milani has to say about their concealer.

"HD Advance Concealer click pen covers imperfections, dark circles, with a weightless, good-for-your-skin liquid formula that leaves a natural finish as it brightens with a soft focus for flawless skin."

"Click pen to dispense product on brush. Apply product underneath eyes to cover dark circles. Brush-on eyelids and inner corners to brighten up the eyes. Lightly brush product over any blemish and or imperfection to instantly conceal."

$8.49 (CVS.com)

Nice idea but it definitely missed the mark.  The coverage just isn't there.   I can't imagine this being a useful product for anyone that doesn't have perfect skin.  It does not brighten (unless you count creating a scary white streak where it is applied) and it doesn't stay where you put it.  It's not a total loss though because the color I purchased was way too light so I can use it under my makeup to highlight before applying foundation and mix it with a darker concealer to create the perfect color for my skin.  Over all, I am not a fan of this product.  I had hoped it would be a similar product to YSL's Touche Eclat but the only similarities they have is the click pen dispenser.
