"It's by Huda Beauty and it's a Faux Filter concealer. [...] I would use it where you've got dark spots, so the corners. I do a little dot, little dot on each side of my face. [...] Then I take one of these little sponges, rub it in first, dot it in first. And then I'll wet this just to brighten a little bit the corner of the eye. I [...] use that a little bit just for that."

"I'm going to add some concealer as a base on the eyes and it's Huda Beauty one. So, I just use a painting brush. And then we're going to apply it on the lids and a bit under the brow in a tiny, thin layer."

"This is the Huda Beauty Faux Filter and I am shade Coconut Flakes. It's a wetter formula, like it's super full coverage but you can actually blend it. I will often use this more like for under eye brightening some kind of highlighting and then I'll use like a slightly darker concealer on the periphery of my face. I think that this concealer with the Lancôme like underneath it, this to me is such an amazing pair. I mean they just look so good together."

"My current concealer obsession is the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer. It got sent to me as a sample [...] from a Sephora order, and [...] that marketing completely worked on me because I used that little sample up and then I was like wow I have really liked using this concealer, so I went out and bought some more. I'm using the shade coconut flakes 2.7 N which is slightly lighter than my skin tone."

"For my under eyes, I'm using Huda Beauty concealer in the shade marshmallow, which I believe is their lightest concealer shade. It's a nice full coverage concealer, and I just think it's going to look good with this overall tone."

let’s see how these do on my dark circles

"That's coverage, girl, that's coverage. When you start to blend it and it just keeps going, oh I like that, I like that a lot. It feels nice. [...] This is going to be one of those full coverage more matte concealers that if you have extremely dry under eyes you might not like, but if you are someone who has slightly more oily skin or if you just really need that extra coverage. I [...] think it looks really nice on the skin, I think it's really moving with my skin, it looks nice."

Color Corrector, Concealer, or BOTH???

"I have Huda Beauty marshmallow, this is quite light. [...] This is obviously a significantly lighter concealer than my actual skin tone and this is a generally pretty full coverage concealer. However, do you see that exactly where I place that concealer because I'm placing it over top of a darker pigment it kind of looks ashy underneath my eyes."

"I used my Huda Beauty concealer in the shade Marshmallow to help balance out the orange in my foundation, since it has a bit more of a blue tone to it. This is a beautiful concealer. Once I actually got foundations that matched my skin tone I didn't really need a neutral concealer like this as much anymore, but it's still a very very nice concealer."

"My favorite thing about this particular concealer is that it's not super like full coverage. The way it kind of blends out, it's almost like in a very diffused way. So you can tell that you're highlighted, but you're not super snatched. And that works for the type of finish we are going for."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
