Hard Candy Glamoflauge HEAVY DUTY CONCEALER with pencil (Medium 313)

The color I bought blends invisibly, and the pencil that comes with it is indispensable when using under eyes. I bruise easily, and that is what I bought this product for, but now I use it for concealer on my face too. I tried other, more expensive products trying to get total coverage that looked natural, and Hard Candy is the only one that works for me. I'm so happy that I found this. Very easy to apply; you don't have to do a lot of blending. I recommend it to anyone looking for a heavy-duty concealer for hard-to-cover age spots, scars, tattoos, etc.

Let me start by saying I am in no means a makeup artist. The purpose of buying this product was to cover a Tattoo for a wedding I will be in. I will include a picture on the product page.Step one: you have to cover your Tattoo in red first, something that has a flat base, no gloss. Black or dark ink will need to be neutralized. For this step I used just the flat part of my color stay lipstick. You just want to put it over just the ink part of the tattoo and try not to get anywhere else. Then I gently took a cotton ball and patted until its dry (You may need to make it a second coat if any red comes off). All your ink should be covered and you should see no ink after this step.

Then take a bigger brush and blend in the makeup with your normal skin color by using patting with the brush. I did 2 coats but I should have done 3. Try to let it dry between each coat. Never wipe on or off. This all should be done with a patting motion with a makeup brush.

I had to do 2 coats.Step Four: when you have the desired results you must put a barrier spray to keep the makeup from coming off. You MUST hold it at least 8" away from your skin. If you hold it to close you may get a clumping effect.  Mehron Barrier Spray (2 oz pump) All skin tones are different so you may need to get two colors and blend until you have the desired color. Remember practice makes perfect. Good luck.

This makeup worked good enough for me. The tattoo was slightly visible through it but it covered mostly. I just needed to cover a tattoo for work so it doesn't have to be perfect.

The product definitely is full coverage. It stays put all day. But I wouldn't call this color "medium". It would look great on someone with very fair skin, but on my tan skin iIt looked like I was rubbing white paste on my face.

I ordered this concealer to cover up a tattoo for my wedding. Shipping took about a week which was fine. I tried it out today and it makes my tattoo lighter, but you can still obviously see it. It seems fine as a regular concealer, although it doesn't really match my face color so I personally won't use it for that, but I don't think it's going to work out for my tattoo cover up. Going to look for something else.

Did not cover my tattoo for the wedding. Only made it look like there was make up gobbed on it!

Purchased to cover a pigmented mole on my face. Works very well upon application, but it does not cover all day. Would still purchase again.

Great product for under eyes circles or covering birthmarks or tattoos.

Ok so I purchased this as I'd heard how amazing this was at covering tattoos etc so while I actually can't reach my tattoo to test it on that I thought I'd test it on some pesky imperfections. Verdict?The tube of concealer:While it has great coverage (it covers the redness) I ordered medium and it looks like a warm ivory in the tube but on it looks possibly a Ivory/nude/fair (depending on what brand your comparing it to).It also has the weirdest smell ever! Not a pleasant smell either. I can't quite put my finger on what it smells of but I'd say that smell your loft has? (If you live in an old house you'll know the smell) it's really off putting.Once I applied it to my face in looked greasy. I don't have oily skin but it looked awful on in terms of appearance. You'd definitely need a setting powder if you were to choose to use as a concealer on your face.The little pencil:Not much help- the pencil is darker than the tube of concealer. I didn't use the pencil on my face as it is rather thick.Overall I'd definitely think twice about purchasing it, especially with the price you pay you expect better results, but it is good at covering up those pesky red imperfections if you can handle the smell and the sweaty look- NOT DEWY, SWEATY.

not only is this concealer small and way to dark it is really watery. I don't know how this could be called heavy duty if it can cover my baggy eyes. if it can't do that much then it most certainty can't cover a tattoo. this product it terrible.

this covers tattoos which i have on my arm. my oldest daughter uses it on her red spots when they appear - great coverage

If this is 'medium' then good lord!! It's as white as anything!! I got medium thinking it would have a warmer tone to it but boy I was wrong! Even when I put it on it didn't cover my tattoo. I needed this to cover the ends of a dodgy eyebrow tattoo but you could still see it as clear as day! Don't bother!

Bought this for Christmas for my daughter and at first she wasn't sure. Then all of a sudden she loved it!
