  • what would be my shade if i'm an nw25 in mac?

  • Great video! thanks for pointing out not good for dry skin...

    and your lighting is exceptional!!!

    new sub.

  • I bought this concealer in preparation for a wedding and have not put it down since! Was finding that almost everything I had was looking too ashy compared to my body or didn't illuminate my face enough/at all. I have all the concealers by MUFE, MAC, theBalm, and L'Oreal (including highlight products) but none of them could stand up as well as the Hourglass to various lighting conditions. It's not perfect. It hates any/all powder but it is imperceptible and photographs amazingly.

  • Where is your Hakuhodo haul video? I've been waiting for it for nearly 8 months... :(

  • how does this compare to Biolift by Chantecaille? I am atleast nw/nc 15, do you think I would be better suited to the chantecaille shade range?

  • Hi I would like to know have you used the corrector from Armani. Thank you

  • Damn i really wanna see in HD if they set on lines or does it blend as well. i hate it when the concealers tend to look clumpy. How would you say does this compare to Bobbi Browns Corrector n Concealer combo?

  • I love your videos...thank you so much for taking the time and reviewing products. Could you please please also do a review on Cle De Peau concealers? I wanted to buy a Chantecialle Bio Lift, but it was really sheer on me, so the girl at Nordstrom recommended Cle De Peau but I was not sure how it is. Thanks again for everything :)

  • I wonder, since even without makeup you have essentially flawless skin, so have you ever had blemishes? If so, how did you treat them? 

  • Is sand darker than pearl or more yellow in the hidden concealer range. ?

  • Your next video gotta be yourself washing your face with sperm...sooo epic

  • your skin, teeth and eyes are so amazing...you're a lucky guy!!

  • U look like John Travolta and Michael Jackson :)

  • Can you recommend a concealer maybe with a lower price point that would be good to cover acne marks?

  • Oh and I like Estee Lauder's Double Wear concealer

  • you go boy!

  • hi

    thnx for ur vedios but y u didnt replay on my massage??

  • PLEASE PLEASE CAN U REVIEW IT COSMETICS CONCEALER?????

  • omg your so cute! x

  • @ladydthie Yeah, definitely try it out. If it is the type of concealer you are looking for, I am sure you will be very pleased :) -Michael

  • What would you recommend if i have dry under eyes in terms of an under eye cream? I am looking for something that will help with dry and puffyness.Thank you.

  • Yay another video :D

  • @InYourLostEyes Haha, yeah!! Thanks so much :) You are awesome! Thanks for watching -Michael

  • @TheSublimeAgent No problem! Actually, you are the awesome one because you are the one who made the video! :D

  • I love the split screen of both sides of your face! Great idea!

  • @dougfig Thanks so much!! It totally speeds it up haha :) Thanks for watching! Since I try to demo every product, i will definitely split the screens more often :)

  • Everytime I see your skin, the green monster inside me gets out a bit. But excellent review and the video really is excellent quality.

  • @exquisiteallure Haha, I totally have green monster pangs as well ... Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate it, and thanks for watching :) - Michael

  • @dopeKukii That is awesome!! Thanks so much for your kind words!! -Michael

  • @thelmalou475 Hello Sandy!! A joy to hear from you! Yes, I adore both as well ! :) Thanks so much for sharing your experience/feedback :)

  • Would you recommend this over cle de peau? Thanks

  • @mochi51509 I cannot yet say, but for half the price, I would say this must be up there. I will review the Cle de Peau one soon :) Thanks for watching!

  • Intelligence, beauty and charm. Oh, how we adore you!

  • @Belladonna7777 Aww, that is very sweet of you!! :) Please, go on haha!! Thanks so much for watching! -Michael

  • I hardly buy anything without consulting makeupalley (and sites alike) beforehand. Do you contribute any of your product reviews there?

  • @MsKopusha I totally agree. Yes, I do written responses for products like everyone else (if I think I have something useful to say), but I have sorta slowed down in the recent year (for obvious reasons) haha!! :) Thanks for watching!

  • @TheSublimeAgent no, no, thank YOU for dedicating your time and being so thorough and unbiased. Teresa Juicytuesday raved about the quality of your reviews and rightfully so. Keep up the good work, you're a godsend to the community! <3

  • you are gorgeous, GOD bless you

  • @imani25 Haha!! That is such a sweet thing to say! :) Have a great day -Michael

  • Forgot to ask...what do you think of Laura Mercier brushes? I know you're a brush collector, and I think her line has some very nice brushes.

  • @telket1 Strange thing...I have actually never purchased a single brush from her...and I do always look at them. I really want one of the concealer brushes, the angled brush, and the angled kabuki. I need to get on that :) Thanks for renewing the idea :) -Michael

  • Please discuss using brightening powders by mature women with fine lines under the eyes. These powders look great on people with no lines, but imo they can draw attention to something an older person does not want to emphasize. Would be interested in your opinion on this. Would also like to hear you review YSL Touche Eclat and the similar product by By Terry.

  • @telket1 Hello!! That is a great idea :) You are definitely right, some brightening powders are just not suitable :) The By Terry highlighter/concealer is actually the next product on my wish list :) Thanks for the suggestion...it has been my plan all along :) Thanks for watching :) -Michael

  • your eyes are so BEAUTIFUL!!!

    

  • @Jolene37 No really, you simply must go on haha!! Thanks so much for your kind words :)

  • You have gorgeous skin.

  • Thank you for another excellent review and demo! Which do you like better-HG concealer or Chantecaille one?

  • @rbred378 That question is waay to difficult to answer here. There are so different. I would say this is more of a concealer concealer, if that makes sense. The Chantecaille biolift is more of a treatment/sheer concealer...and it isnt good for spots or discolorations. I would say that the HG one is a stronger "concealer" Thanks!!!

  • I really appreciate how detailed you are in your videos, not many people can achieve this. Most of the other gurus just say "I love it, its nice, the packaging is nice" lol

    your great!!!!!

  • @AnthropologyBio First of all, I really appreciate your comment, you are indeed too kind. Secondly, that is precisely why I started making videos. Well, it is one of the reasons haha. I was also tired of watching reviews and not coming away with a single shred of useful or new insight. :) Thanks so much for watching! :) -Michael

  • wow the close up video quality is AMAZING!!! Love your eye color!

  • @stylerumor Aww, thank you so much! I wondered what people would think. It looks grainy in the default setting, but very sharp in 720...which is weird. But thanks so much for your feedback and thanks for watching! :)

  • I feel like if I touched your face, I'd be touching silk....not to sound creepy. Great review yet again.

  • @yourreadinmyusername Hehe...that is so sweet of you...and nothing creeps me out. In fact, certain kinds of creepiness can be a virtue ;) Thanks for watching!

  • very very very good review of this- i put mine away for while i have been using laura geller's real deal- another good one x shelly

  • @magicadespell56 Shelly, I had a request for reviewing "real deal" about an hour before I posted this video actually. Strange. I am glad to hear that you enjoy the LG one. Just try to use up the hourglass one within 18 months :) -Michael

  • what do you think is better the lancome miracle the teint foundation, or the chanel vitaluminere ? i am on the look of a new foundation .

  • :P

  • I rarely comment but just have to say that I love your videos. You cover everything I could possibly want to know about an item. With other reviews, I find myself googling it and reading several blog posts, but your reviews are just amazing. You are so thorough and well-spoken. Greetings from Norway!

  • @Tanutra Well, I am so flattered and happy that you decided to comment. Thanks so much for your feedback. I am an avid video watcher and blog reader, and I find that most content is lacking. That's why I try my hardest to be thorough and useful haha :) Thanks again! -Michael

  • you should try it over the hourglass foundation, it just melts right into it.

  • @hairgoddessrachel Great suggestion. This was my first time with the brand (asside from samples here and there)...and now I am definitely going to look further :D Thanks for the suggestion :)

  • wow it looks very good...thanks so showing us this video

  • @DebraMadonna66 Thank you! I appreciate it and it is my pleasure! :)

  • Your eye color and lashes are beautiful!

  • @meep1eats1sheep Hehe, you are too kind!! Thanks so much for watching! :)

  • Hi Michael.. what skin tone range do you think the Pearl shade will suit?

  • @LJ858 It is hard to qualify in words .... hmm, I would say for those slightly lighter than me, to about someone 1-5% darker than me haha...I know that is frightfully vague. It is certainly a 'must test' item since the color selection is so limited :)

  • hmm. It looks amazing under the eyes! Imma' give it a try ;P xo

  • @rikkuffx2 You are right :) I am glad I was able to catch it on film. I totally agree, the effect is so discreet and nice (still a bit drying) Thanks! -Michael

  • i love that your reviews are SO thorough xx

  • @RebandLeo Aww, thanks so much! I would have it no other way :) -Michael

  • man ur vid quality is amazing

  • @TheSara1029 Thanks so much!! Always working to improve :) I think it is important to try to have a crystal clear image for videos like this :) And it pays off in the long run i think. Thanks for watching! -Michael

  • I just love watching your videos. You are so informative. I am in love with your skin, just gorgeous.

  • @makeuptherapy101 Aww, thank you so much. Every comment you had is just so nice and hits me from all directions. Just...just...uhh, THANK YOU for watching! -Michael :)

  • you are a pro. i trust you in what you are saying. thank you. xx

  • @debbiefivealive Aww, thanks so much! :) That really means a lot (the "trust" factor). I try to be as objective as possible, and the camera does not lie, right? haha :) Thanks for watching!

  • every time I watch your vidoes, 2 words come to mind: eye candy! xxx

  • I use the Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer. it diffuses most of my dark under eye circles but not all, so it looks natural and not cakey. i love it.

  • @Janiemm Thank you very much for sharing your experience with your favorite concealer. I have never used EP's very popular concealer. I must pick it up this year at IMATS :) Thanks for watching!

  • your eyes are beautiful <3

  • @Expressyourmess Thank you so much, you are very kind!! Thanks for watching too -Michael

  • @TheSublimeAgent Thank you for taking the time to reply! I really admire all the effort you put into this, you really give an extra "umph" :)

  • @Expressyourmess Oh my goodness!! Of course :) it is my pleasure and I do try my hardest to reply to everyone, as video makers should! Have a great weekend!

  • i love you. and we have the same eyes. blue with green centers. we're awesome.

  • @Janiemm AHAHAHA, we ARE awesome!

  • How do you have absolutely no signs of facial hair?

  • Awesome review Michael-Pearl is too dark and it was too dry for my dry, dry mature undereye. Recommendation? For a leave a bit of natural skin color light to med coverage? :) xo jan

  • @Catalina031 hello Jan!! :) Well, I wanna hold back on recommendations until I review the cle de peau concealer...but I am sure I can think of a good option for you *puts on thinking cap*. Thanks for watching!

  • I have one concealer to recommend that can beat the hourglass concealer with the same if not better coverage but more brightening less drying and on top of that with an SPF......interested? : )

    It's the La mer radiant concealer with SPF 25. I was using the la mer and was very happy with it but then I was curious about the hourglass one also, so I had to try it.

    verdict: the la mer one don't crease on me, the hourglass one does a little because it is just that little bit dryer, and I notice : P

  • @ivmeonly OMG, thank you for this thorough, interesting, and amazing comment. Of course, my obsession with La Mer combined with your feedback will assuredly lead me to purchasing the Radiant Concealer. Thanks again!! -Michael

  • @TheSublimeAgent I'm surprised that you didn't already have it, I look forward to you reviewing it. : D

  • Fun for the whole family...lol

    Now i know where i went wrong applying my concealer and why the end result was more often than not cacky, it was not necessarily the product,but how i was applying...Very informative,covered all bases...

    Thanks for sharing ~Linda

  • You are Literally, Amazing :) X

  • Finally a guru who gives awesome info, in-depth reviews, demos-- what am I saying? You're the whole shabang! Love your videos!!

  • you have the prettiest eyes! and i can notice a yellow circle in your blue colored eyes..

    *gasping for air!**

  • really helpful and interesting. thanks michael.

  • Can I marry you?

    kthanxbye

  • I HAVE SENT U A MASSAGEON YOUTUBE I WOUNDER Y U DIDNT ANSWARE ME :(

  • Do you recommend the shade pearl for a NC35?

  • @JMarieNHalo please let me know if he replies to you? :)

  • What MAC foundation shade are you?

  • A very done review! You do things well and provide good info, thank you! Keep up your great work!

  • God! You are beautiful!

  • Great review. I've been using it as an eye primer too:D

  • Not a stone unturned. I never thought of blending it like you have. Will be trying that this morning. Thank you!

  • Your reviews are by far the best on the net. You are such a perfectionist :-)

  • i just honestly love your videos! keep it up sweet baby hun! :)

  • fun for the whole family lol

  • I loove your videos! Could you please help me pick a shade? I live in Europe and i only have access to Hourglass online :( Im NC 30 and i couldnt find swatches for the warm and sand tones. I just want to use it under my eyes, do you think Pearl may be to light. In that case wich shade would you recommend? i´d be so grateful if you answered to me. I wouldn ask if you werent my last hope haha. Hugs from Spain

  • best reviewer ever!! thank you for the amazing quality of your videos, you are greatly appreciated :D

  • is it odd that i'm addicted to your videos mainly due to the eloquence of your words? I could listen to you all day. (:

  • Your skin is perfect!! How?? Do you have a special diet? Is it mostly makeup? Are you just lucky and blessed? Gorgeous!

  • I bought this concealer and hated it. If you have any dryness under the eye, this concealer will crease and settle into your lines, and it felt VERY thick. By the end of day it looked awful. I love the Giorgio Armani Master Corrector and High Precision Retouch. These are so much more moisturizing, they give you the conceal and highlighting and they look so natural.

  • @MandiT1234 in which part of the face would you prefer using the hourglass concealer? is it ok for hyper pigmentation?

  • wow that looked like it blends like a dream... how does it wear throughout the day? fantastic video!

  • This concealer is a bit too dry and heavy for my under eye area. ;-/

    How does it compare to Chantecaille concealer?

  • i feel like you could write a book about one product!

  • While I already own and love this concealer, I'm glad you did a review of it! Actually, I prefer this to my Cle de Peau concealer. Have you had a chance to review Hourglass' mineral veil primer/foundations?

  • such an informative and comprehensive review, as usual :)

    your eye color is incredible!

  • is he gay?

  • Thanks! How does it compare to Laura mercier, bobbi brown, MuFe or Mac? Please advise, thanks!

    I hope to see you at 3rd street!

  • You are as adorable and gorgeous as always! But I wish hourglass made at least three more colors to accommodate those that are very fair (I'm a nc15, so too fair) or those that are darker and maybe one more tone in between. I did love your review and I was also amazed at how easily it blended. Thank you for keeping us in the know.

  • i have to say, they could have done a color selection of the concealer that goes better with their foundation selection. I don't consider myself that far along the dark spectrum but I can tell you that these concealers are nowhere near my skin-color. They could afford to add three more shades at least. Looks like a good product though.

  • i absolutely love how thorough you are! Thank you! :)

  • Please do a follow up. Thanks Michael! :) Love your videos by the way.

  • Michael your eyes are beautiful <3

  • holy crap youre pretty

  • How does this concealer do in pictures?

  • I just love your flawless look anyway just wondering does it crease later I have little fine lines what would u recommend for dark circles and fine lines?

  • What would you recommend as a moisturizing or at least non drying concealer? Hourglass looks amazing on you by the way

  • Hello, would the sand color, the darkest of the 3, work on my very olive NC40 skin that can get much darker than darker than NC 40 (but not at all orange like NC 42). Thanks!

  • wow, it looks so natural!

  • Your eyes are beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry , thats the only thing i noticed!! and wow does that concealer ever blend nicely!

  • Hi,Michael. Very informative video.I've found that I have to rub my finger over this concealer to warm it up a bit and them pat it under my eyes.That seems to do away with the dry feeling.I can apply it around my nose just like you do from the tube.I just set it with a small amount of powder and it lasts for quite a while.Thanks again for the review.

    Sue

  • Very informative. :) What do you recommend as a full coverage concealer?

  • Your eyes are truly gorgeous. And great review, I might have to pop down to Sephora for some sampling soon.

  • I don't think there are any videos I enjoy more than demonstrating something. I have gotten a little tired of watching just reviews of too many people, and many products seem to be the flavour of the week, then two weeks later that "fabulous" product is not so good as the newe flavor. I appreciate the way you plan and do your videos, and I respect your opinion, since it doesn't seem to change every other week.

  • Holy Jesus you are thorough!!! Its a great thing.. I love you!!!!!!

  • Missed you! :(

  • I'm interested to hear how it wears throughout the day

  • It looks so dang good.

  • Very helpful thanks a bunch!

  • Great video as always!!

  • awesome review. what are u fave eyeshadow primer.? ty

  • Your eyes are breath-taking

  • I really like your reviews! very informative, thank you!! :)

  • Hello Michael! First off i am a new subscriber and i love your videos! I really appreciate all the time and research your put into each video. It does show. I have a question, do you have any recommendations for good beauty serums that will last you more than a month? Like Caudalie's Vinoperfect Radiance serum? It is $80 an ounce but it lasts me almost 6 months! I am wondering if their are others like that out there so i don't have to go back and buy the product every single month.

  • Great video as always!

    Ginabinawina swears by this concealer what make me wants it badly - I usually like the things she suggests. I just haven't bought it yet because its supposed dryness. Do you find it too opaque that doesn't look natural?

    Thanks for sharing, Micheal!

  • My man concern is creasing.

    How does it do in this regard?

    TY

    :-)

  • Fun & informative as always! The brand has lovely products. The Artist in me had to chime in on the color comment - you're so right, their shades are selected with marketing in mind buut they definitely exclude faaar more than the "extreme ends" of the "color spectrum". This might shock many but my complexion is more accurately in the vicinity of the "middle" of the spectrum (nc 45 for reference) though I know to many that's soooo dark LOL!

  • Lovely to see you again, Michael. I bought this concealer yesterday (at Sephora). I did hem and haw, as the colour selection did not address my exact colouring (I chose Sand). I'm 44 with very dry skin (and ridiculously sensitive eyes), so taking the time to really blend it out well will be crucial. I work 12-14 hour days, and haven't put it to that test yet, so the jury is still out on my overall impression. I'll let you know if you like.

  • *Runs to catch the next flight from Ireland to California to wait at the Santa Monica Sephora for Michael to visit* (JOKE!) Excellent, informative video and demo, kudos to you!xx

  • Mike<3

    

  • I love how your videos are so professional, but still not arrogant or annoying in any way at all! You can really tell you've put in so much effort ^_^ I love your videos so much! x

  • thanks for posting my video response Michael! xoxo

  • ps your eyes are perfection! like jealoussssssss

  • So what is your favorite all purpose concealer?

  • yay!! always happy to see your face pop up in my subbie box! :-)

  • ps, tell me what you think of the pixiwoo sisters!

  • Mike, please get back to me.. this is regarding (health care stuff not going into details lol) .

    fantastic video as always.

  • AHHH i'm so obsessed with your videos! hahaha there's something about youuuuu, i see big things my friend :)

  • You look like Zac Efron... only much smarter!

  • I posted a video response.....will you approve it? Pretty please??? =)

  • You speak so well! Finally, someone on Youtube who knows how to express themselves correctly! Thanks xoxo

  • I <3 this concealer! In fact, I don't think it's talked about enough here on youtube. Thanks for the review.

  • I love how you educate your viewers so well. Thanks. x

  • you seem smart and you really know what you are talking about!
