Nude Awakening Hydrating Medium Coverage Concealer

Swatches are awful

I can’t really comment on the formula, but the swatches are TOTALLY misleading and probably the worst I’ve seen for a while. The model pictures are more accurate but these run incredibly light. From the swatches this should have been a good color but I’m returning to get 125C. The swatches on the arms picture looks like it could have been AI but more importantly they’re worse than useless in picking a color

Dry disappointment

I have dry under eyes but have a solid under eye prep routine that helps make most concealers work for me. However, I really cannot make this one look good. It's thick, dries down patchy, feels heavy, and creases like crazy. I apply a very minimal amount too. I love all other Marc Jacobs products and really wanted to like this one too, but it sadly missed the mark.

Was worried this shade would be way too dark based on the photo swatches, but it was so light it was unusable for my skin tone - careful when buying because the swatch photos are misleading. Can’t recommend because I can see that being very difficult for people buying online

Oompa Loompa but make it Glam

Personally, this is a 10 star for me (I love a good matte formula), but for an everyday clean girl makeup, it’s a 3. You have to set it down with powder, you can’t skimp out on skin prep, and the shade range is atrocious. Anything beyond 300 is just… orange. I like to mix a darker shade to bronze-tint my forehead, but with this the mix becomes very orange (no matter the shade type). Then, there is the milky brightening part; as an all over “foundation”, when the product dries down you’ll...

Save your money

I got this concealer a few days ago and I can say that is kinda bad. I have mixed skin and my under eyes are a little dry. I have a good prep that makes other concealers look ok. Well, i applied the concealer, and it looked bad. It dried fast, it was patchy, cakey and it was separating. I really wanted to love it, but it didn’t work.

High hopes but didn’t work for me

I wanted to love this concealer, but the finish was patchy and dry. Tried switching my brushes to see if it would fix it and still had the same result unfortunately.

New favourite

Incredible formula. I have textured and dark undereyes. First concealer I’ve ever tried that gives skin-like and still blurs the texture. The brush feels very soft and lays a good amount of product down. Amazing.

Shades have no pigment!

I cannot really note anything on wear or performance, I didn’t make it that far unfortunately. I tried 4 different shades, each one was basically white with no pigment. I went high in medium lights and got nothing. I have light skin with cool undertones in every popular shade in the category, in every popular makeup brand. So it’s wild and a first not to find my shade. I’m just disappointed, I really wanted to love this product. I loved Marc’s premiere products but I think he rushed this...

Not for the price

Wanted to love soooo bad but no matter what way I wore this it just wasn’t perfect for me, looked a little dry and a little patchy no matter what primer or setting powder I used.

Apply cautiously

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The concealer is rich and lovely! I ended up with a shade too dark for me to use as concealer, but it is excellent as a contour and/or base for bronzer. Word of warning a tiny bit goes a LONG WAY so it's very easy to end up applying too much. It is very creamy and blends well and lasts all day with very little transfer and no bleeding. It also pairs well with my other makeup and doesn't pill or get muddy.

Light to Medium coverage

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have to say I was impressed with this concealer. To me, it’s light to medium coverage, but it’s more of a thinner consistency. Honestly, the brush was very interesting, however, I didn’t like it as much. The brush carried way too much product at times. But I do have to say, the brush feels amazing on the skin!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It does blend well like it’s actually bad how much it does not blend. It was kind of hard to get off too so I’m not really sure if this is the best. Definitely don’t like the applicator either.
