It hurts to spell colour without the "u" but that is what is on the tube...Anyway, Revlon ColorStay Blemish Concealer has become my go to face concealer. I say face concealer because I have found that I like a darker shade for around my eyes, but the darker shade doesn't always work on my face and due to the fact that it contains salicylic acid (more on that later.) I have this is "light" and it blends into my skin tone perfectly.

"Exclusive ColorStay formula with an active blemish fighter combines superior coverage with healing benefits." -from box
As I briefly mentioned above, this product contains salicylic acid, but only 0.5%. So, really, it will not heal your blemishes on its own. It 0.5% is something, sure, but it is not strong enough to stop a blemish in its tracks. It can be helpful, but it should not be your only plan of attack. Also, that is a pretty good reason to avoid using this around your eyes. Acid + eyes= bad. Just a general rule of thumb.

This concealer comes in a 0.21 oz/ 6.2 ml tube and includes a sponge tip applicator. I both loathe and like the applicator. I loathe it because if you are applying onto active "blemishes" you are just spreading bacteria and then putting it back into the tube. I love it because, it's fast and easy to apply. I usually use the applicator to put a dot on my finger or concealer brush and apply that way. I find that since this isn't a very thick product, I like to apply it and let it dry a minute or two then pat it on over the area I am trying to cover. By giving it a bit of time to dry it thickens just a bit and gives for a better coverage.
Overall, I really like this concealer. The price is a tad steep for a drugstore concealer though, I paid $17.99 which is totally cringe worthy considering it was supposed to have been on sale. If I saw this on sale I would repurchase, but for the price I could upgrade to a better brand for just a few dollars more.
Have you tired this concealer? What did you think?
