  • i have some red on my skin and i have used so many others kinds to cover it this is the only one that has ever actually covered the red i am loving this pallet.

  • I started out using this palette with my fingers and then with a flat concealer brush and thought it was utter crap. It just wasn't transferring onto my skin very well. I recently tried using it with the Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman deluxe crease brush which is really dense, and gently buffing it into my under-eye area. It works a million times better and the thin texture keeps it from caking. Try it with a fluffy dome brush before you throw it away!

  • The lavender shade helps to minimize the appearance of yellow tones, such as a bruise that may be going away. I have this same palette and I don't really care for it either. Thanks for the review!

  • I'd love to hear your opinion on other Hard Candy face products! Such as the Glamoflage concealer and Welcome Matte powder. I have yet to find a drug store powder I really really like, and I'm curious about Hard Candy's, I've read good reviews.

  • o.?

    

  • people have compared hard candy glamoflage concealer to kat von d tattoo concealer...and said its better. i use it and its amazing, you should try it.

  • You have a news anchor voice.

  • @CaseyPeanutt she is a news anchor

  • @CaseyPeanutt YEA BECUZ SHE IS A NEWS ANCHOR LADY DUH!!!!!

  • i was going to buy it this morning but i wanted to see your review before!!! thanx a lot for ur videos!!!

  • i always end up watching a video of yours while browsing thru youtube....i'm subscribing..should have a long time ago. =)

  • Thank you! I saw this in the store and thought, I'll ask Emily to review this. You are always a step ahead : )

  • or atleast in this video anyway...just sayin

  • Review is great i just have one question....has anyone ever told you you look kind of like sandra bullock? maybe its just me, or maybe you hear it so much you get annoyed idk i just had to say it i'm sorry lol

  • I love your reviews. They are really helpful.

  • Wait what are the colors for?

  • @ariba2796

    the color are color corectors they are use to cancel out anything like green u can use that to cancel out redness and yellow and pink is used to cancel out blue like undereye circles:)

  • I love this... it works great for acne scarring

  • maybe its not practical cause i think its aimed for kids and teens , you know pimples not dark circles...

  • I wished I would of seen this review before I got this. It sucks. No coverage at alllll.

  • I used the Pink as a lip colour .

  • so far, the only thing i like in the hard candy line is the primer. it works FANTASTIC for me. but thank you SO much for this review. i have it on my wish list, but as far as your opinion and what everyone's saying, it looks like i will stay away from it. (:

  • I like the bottom left and middle colors the most, and I've actually hit pan on the middle one. But the lightest shade and the color correcting shades are a total miss for me.

    I wish I saw this review before I bought it last year lol

  • I tried this and at first I loved it. I had to stop using it because it made me break out around my chin and nose! I still use it under my eyes and on my cheeks, as I don't tend to get pimples around there.

  • pink is GREAT for brightening the undereyes

  • pink? That last top one to our left looks purple...

  • Maybe if you applied the yellow color corrector to the darker pigmentation under your eyes and then applied the concealer color it might work better. I can't guarantee that for sure since I don't have this pallette, but it would be worth a try.

  • u look like a perfect combination of Ashley Judd and Sandra bullock. maybe your their love child lol u are very beautiful

  • Youre very pretty. Make me think of venezuelan beauty queen Eva Ekvall

  • its not pink,its lavender.

  • @SuperSis02 nice way to try to correct her, but it's PINK

  • I LOVE hard candy make up,,I love the designs and just everything about them. As for this palette though,, I'm still undecided :// The applicator brush they give you is SO cheap, ugh. Very disappointing..

  • Eh, I like it :)

    Nice review

  • I also have this concealor...it's crap. They are very thin and coverage is almost non-existent. You're right about the different consistencies. The bottom middle one is very greasy and "sweats." The creamiest one is the darkest one but it still isn't worth buying. I'm not impressed with any of the Hard Candy cosmetics at Wal-Mart. I'm dissapointed every time I buy one. I won't be buying any more.

  • You look a LOT like Sandra Bullock...very pretty :)

    I was thinking about buying this, but maybe not now :(

  • I bought it and I love it.

  • wish i had watched your review earlier, i got this for the pink in the palette because it's supposed to correct dark under eye circles.... but i got the palette and the pink is soo thin, it doesn't correct anything, LOL...

  • I don't see any circles!

  • @emilydianec i do

  • i kind of thought the pink was more of a highlighting cream.. i'm not totally thrilled with it I've found way better concealers maybe not packaged quite the same but I couldn't figure out why the textures on these was so off and i agreed you on the use, and I felt kind of let down.

  • i just bought mine only used it once ,i kind of like it but then again I have never used a concealer before so idk what to look for and what not.

  • hey em... have you tried the hard candy primer... a couple of people were raving about it.. and wanted to know if you could do a review.. since you've used a couple of the more expensive one plz... lol.. thanks for the video..

  • @paulababe1985 I have tried the primer for months now and I LOVE IT!! Its so light dries quickly and the size of the tube is huge for the price. I purchased mine for $8.00 at Walmart. I will purchase this product again for sure..

  • Thank you for this...i was really thinking of getting this product. I have very dark circles and this wouldn't have worked for me.

  • I wanted to know if you've tried the maybelline cover stick I wanted to know if it was any good.

  • @paulababe1985 texture isn't super smooth but i think it covers well. for like $5 i thought it was pretty good and i used it to cover pimples and the coverage is full. hope i helped!

  • LOL it looks like a toy or play make up that you would buy for a 7 year old xD its adorable

  • I tried this product and it did not cover my under eye circles.

  • i literally wanna buy this n just use it for the container. just wash out the product because obviously its crap- and just use the case for.. i dont even know but its so cute lol so i wanna do that XD

  • I HATE that palette!!!

    I was so exited when I got it

    but it doesn't work at all

  • it really works for me i like it maybe because i dont have a lot of problems but i like it

  • I agree with you 100%. The packaging is very inviting but the quality of the product is less than desirable. Most Hard Candy products are like this.

  • AWESOME PALETTE!!! I LOOOOOVE IT!

  • has any 1 tell you , you look like sandra bullock..i thinks shes really pretty!

  • i have to disagree, i actually really like this palette, green conceaor, works great for redness around the nose, but i woud have to agree that the coverage is pretty sheer

  • I saw this product yesterday, but was not sure if I wanted to try it or not....so happy to see this review!!! Thanks.

  • god damn it i just came back frm wally mart and realized i got the wrong thing!this is what i wanted i got skin glowing crap.

  • wow. i did the exact same thing! did you get that highlighting circle thing? blahh

  • yess lol

  • Why am I not subscribed to you? I've probably watched almost all your videos already so I went ahead and subbed!

    Have to say I disagree with you and I really like this product. My dark circles aren't that bad, but I do have red blemishes and lots of darker scars, which is why I love having all 3 correctors in the palatte. I can tell a difference in the consistency of the bottom shades as well, but I mix them all together, so it really doesn't matter, and sponge it on so it won't disappear

  • Oh my God I love her eyes!

  • i love this palette. it actually covered just as good as mac or maybelline concealers for me. especially the color correctors!

  • I disagree, I think that if you blend the yellow with the tan concealers it will cover up your dark circles. You said you don't like the idea of using the green, but it will absolutely counter act the red and bring it back to a neutral color. It's basic color mixing. Red + Green = brown, Dark circles are actually purplish and Purple + Yellow = brown, and then you can lighten or darken them with the tan colors.

  • amen! :D

  • you use the lavender color to brighten up parts of your face.like your cheekbones,under your eyebrows, or if you run it up and down your nose it gives the illusion of a longer nose.

  • I noticed the same things that you pointed out in the hard candy concealer palette. The 3 skin-toned shades were very different textures and the green looks white when I put it on my skin. Even though this was a "fair" palette, the skin-toned shades still seemed white based, almost too light for me, even the darkest shade. Great review!

  • i dont use the brush at all that came with this set. other than that I love this product!

  • the pink is suppose to cover dark spots, but to be quite honest, I don't really understand the concept of multi-colored concealers... I just use my LA Girl concealer and it works perfectly on me with any problem I might encounter (spots, dark eyes, etc). Would you do a video explaining it and showing various concealers? I would be so thankful!

  • also the brands your comparing it to like bobbi brown and kate von those are high end companies of course they are gonna blow hard candy out of the water but i think if you are looking for a affordable concealer this is perfect i barly have any thing to conceal maybe thats why i love it so much but i really do love it

  • i own 2 of them i use t everyday the yellow one is the best the brush sucks lol but its the best palette i ever owned

  • If your looking for a nice creamy concelear for cheap e.l.f's normal line do a concelear stick thats really creamy and pigmented :) i love your videos!

  • I love love love your videos!

  • Thanks for the review! very helpful

  • thanks for the review, i debating on buying this and other concealers of the hardcandy brand online at walmart

  • I like the yellow one actually. I've found that it helps with the discoloration on my eyelids, I do agree with the others though. I've found that they don't cover up very well. I do sometimes us it if I've had a lot of sleep the night before (I'm a college student and I work full time so I don't get a lot of sleep :-/) I do feel that this would be great for teens though, but I think I'll stick with my Benefit Erase Paste ;) I like Hard Candy's lipglosses :D

  • You don't need any make up at all. AND YOU KNOW IT You are too pretty and SMART, beautyful voice tone. You need man like me... I'm gonna fill that need you have for attention. May be you just like make up a lot, Like Nefertiti... but in this life... You don't need it. But your vocalization of course is Xcellent. Make a video about another subject. Written for you, won't be hard because you organize your (verbal) notes pretty good.

  • I feel the same way as you do i just got it and its not covering up my brith mark at all.

  • Emily! Your videos brighten up my day!

  • Where did you get that T-shirt ?? Please help me :(((

  • I am so happy you did this..I was curious when I saw this...and decided to wait. Would rather spend more money and buy something I can actually count on that works.

  • Would you mind adding to the sidebar the make up that you are wearing when you do a review? I love your eye look! Thanks. Liz

  • Pink can be used as a highlight, in my color corrector i just use it as a pre-highlight color for my inner corners, then usually put a white over it.

  • I didn't think about that. I've been trying to figure out the point of the pink too :-/

  • Thank you for doing this video Emily. I was really excited to hear that there was a pallete out there in all places - WALMART! But of course, it's not up to par. :C Oh well, i'll keep my fingers crossed. And you do look very young in this video and gorgeous like always Em.

    <3N

  • this clogged my pores and it doesnt really cover much so yeah I totally agree with you this one just doesnt do it and isn't worth it and i really dont have much to cover up and I dont even think it is worth it

  • i saw this at my local walmart yesterday and thought of buying it but decided to look for reviews on YT first. im SO glad i waited...$8 saved!

    thanks Emily! :)

  • pink is for brightening

  • Hi... thx for the review :) . Just want to know where did you get your T-shirt its very pretty :)

  • it looks like something u would get at Claires for 2.99

  • Hi Emily, I LOVE your videos! I was just wondering if there was any way you could do a review on your elf shadow quads. I noticed in your makeup collection that you had a few and I wanna get some! Please and thank you! :)

  • You use pink to cover white spots you mau have on your face or to make othwer concealers more pink-ish. You can mix the yellow to other concealers to make them more yellow-y and you can cover red with it. if you go to cover blue with yellow, it gets green-ish (not good, of course) If your undereye circles are more brown or purple you an get some improvemnt...

  • would love to see a toutorial of your eye make up in this video. I love the light color on your lid.

  • You look really young and fresh without all that makeup and liner on. You look your age here. In others you look over 30, sorry if I sounded rude. Maybe you just don't realize it.

  • I think she looks nice all the time. She generally wears just the right amount of makeup. But everyone has different feelings about things and that is what makes the world go around. Personally I feel she looks age appropriate and her age or younger in most of her videos.

  • i actually kinda agree with you i love Emily, but sometimes i feel like her makeup ages her. not necessarily in a bad way, but it just makes her look older

  • thanx for the heads up on products we all want to use or already use.

  • great review. && perfect lighting(:

  • thank you for the info...i was seriously thinking about buying that, but not anymore. thank you for being so honest about the product

  • I agree. I have this pallet and I don't think it does a good job of covering anything. When I first put my brush in to use it I thought it would be a great product by the concistancy, but when you put it on your skin it just blends in to nothingness. I do like their lip stains though, and their face primer. Thank you Emily for your review. you are always so helpful. =)

  • aww boo i live in Toronto...and i checked our walmart yday... they didn't have hard candy! maybe soontimes? ...

  • I'm glad I found this review, I actually considered buying this the other day. Then I noticed the color-correcting shades were kinda shimmery and they don't over skin-tone shades that are light enough for me.

  • I like the natural lighting. :)

  • would it be good for begginers???

  • can u please do a drug store concealer review! it would be greatly appreciated ...i really need a good undereye concealer cuz high school made my undereyes black and now univeristy isnt helping either...

  • Wow, I'm so lucky you reviewed this! I was JUST going to buy this palette the other day but couldn't find any reviews on it, so I passed. You're the best...I can always count on you for great info! :)

  • Just pat & blend that pinky-lilac color on your undereye circles, then pat the skintone concealer over it. I have this palette and I was surprised that it worked pretty well. =) ~sky~

  • Thanks for the review. You just saved me some time and money. Keep up the great work!

  • Comment removed

  • The lighting is super better in this video!!!

  • Pink concealer is theoretically supposed to counteract bluish and purplish tones. You are supposed to apply it and blend well and then add a regular skin tone concealer over it. But in my opinion, if you are not a pro, don't even attempt it. Also there are many pro makeup artists that feel pink really works.

  • I don't really know the fundamentals of makeup. I just wear it and if it looks good I keep wearing it. But I would like to know if you could find the time to make a quick video on all you know about the colors of concealers and what color covers what. I know you ask for ideas, and this is one I'm interested in so I was taking this op.I'm not a big internet looker on searching for internet opinions on specific tips and stuff, I just follow the person I can rely on. I'd like to improve.

  • boring !

  • what news channel is she on?

  • Very informative. Thank you. :)

  • I kinda like the green one. Its is greasy but I have dry skin. My skin is wicked red and I put it on my cheeks before my foundation. I use the yellow under my eyes. And I dont know what the Hell the pink is for???

  • The pink shade is for correcting yellow undertones. It's more for an olive skintone.

  • I saw these at my Walmart and I was thinking about getting them but then I noticed I could get three stick concealers for much cheaper then the HardCandy one so I went for it, I'm glad I did. The stick ones (I forgot what brand they are) work great for me and I'm glad I was looking to save money at the time because judging by this review it would have no worked for me at all.

  • Thanks for this review. If I were to see this at the store, I would probably buy it just because it's so cute! Now, of course, I'll pass. All your videos are so helpful, I learn something in each one.

  • I had this product and took it back to Walmart. I had never taken any type of makeup back to a store, but I felt this product was a joke and such a waste of money. Too Greasy!

  • Thank you for this! I was about to buy this b/c it was cute but I had a gut feeling not to. Could you please tell me what all makeup you used on your face for this video, please? Your makeup is so natural and pretty in this vid, I love it! :)

  • love the new lighting or setting...can see details alot more clearly!

  • i cant find these at my walmart =[

  • Great eval, I just ordered two items from your last video, the LA girl fineline pencil liner is OUT OF STOCK!! Do not know this site, hope that doesnt mean long. General note to anyone, did I hallucinate or did someone show a mascara that was totally round at the end, i believe it was Maybelline but not sure, any ideas, please help. thanks and spread the word. I think we all watch the same people so will put a note on all lol.

  • amost positive it was L'Oreal

  • You win the 10,000.00 (don't you wish) I had sent an email on the Maybelline site and got a call back this am, they are both owned by the same company now, and it IS L'oreal that has that one, it's maybelline that has the big fat yellow one someone has mentioned too.,......thanks so much for the response and time. KK2

  • I just have to tell you again, thank you and i think you are very special to take the time and thought to find an answer to MY question, you'se got a good heart. KK2

  • Pink can be used as a highlighter. You can use it on the tops of your cheek bones (if you place two fingers at the corner of your eye, that's the place), running it from the corner of your outer eye up to the eye brow, and/or placing it in the labial area of your face. Try it out.

  • thanks for ur honesty!

  • I'm so glad I didn't go out and buy this. I'm waiting for my order from Coastal Scents of their new Camo Quads. Did you review them yet? If you did, I missed it. Thanks for your review.

  • That was a really great review Emily, I know to avoid this one!

  • Maybe, next time you can do like, one eye with an other concealer, compared to this one. Now i don't 'notice' really any difference, though i believe you (: ...

  • I agree w/u totally.  I think the only reason I bought this palette in 1st place was it is so cute--the look of the palette is (as you say) adorable; however, product itself=terrible. I bought the medium, my normal shade; all 3 shades of brown are too light for me. The pink, green & yellow do absolutely nothing. It is too light in consistency to do any type of concealing. I have found that almost all of the Hard Candy products I have purchased have been disappointing.

  • I agree 100% with this review. I wanted to love this palette and ending up being disappointed. The NYX concealer in a jar is definitely the way to go for the less expensive brands.

  • Thanks so much.

  • Emily, WOULD YOU SUGGEST BOBBI BROWN CONCEALER FOR the FACE TO COVER PIMPLES? THANKS

  • you look so gorgeous and simply

  • Such a perfect review!! Both down-sides (most of them) and plus-sides!! Keep up the good work!! A good review and seems to be a really honest review to!!

  • Thank you for that Emily, I was actually considering buying that palette....I won't be now. I kind of always walk by it and am like "should I or shouldn't I?" And I haven't brought myself to purchase it. I have the NYX concealer in a jar and it's pretty darn good for the price! xoxo Sara

  • Thank so much, Emily!!!!

  • Thanks so much! I almost bought this palette the last time i was at Walmart...i will not purchase this palette thanks to you! :) ...i think so far, I really like the Hard Candy lipsticks :)

  • you look so beautiful!!

  • I don't like this palette at all. Not only was the coverage poor, it became clumpy with my foundation. I was rather disappointed in the Hard Candy line as a whole. In addition to this palette, I purchased a bronzer, a blush, a lip gloss and a mascara. I won't repurchase any of them or try anything else. I wish I had waited for reviews on this range before I purchased any. Thanks for your review Emily!

  • thanks so much for the review i was waiting for it to see how it would be. but i knew nothing would be better than my kat von d concealer.. lol

  • can u show us your maku ep storage ? :)

  • I ditto that lol

  • Thanks for doing this review. I use the "Get Even" from Benefit but heard of Bobbie Brown's concealer. I will have to check that out. Also, the yellow powder from Clinic really works well at concealing.

  • I bought this awhile ago. I don't like it at all. My palette feels so greasy and thin. I wish I'd waited to see reviews beforeI got it.

  • you look soooo much prettier with less eyeliner on the bottom and dark lipstick...seriously so much prettier!

  • Can you do a review on your most favorite concealer? Thanks, Emily!

  • thank you for taking the time

  • I like the lighting a lot more!

  • Thnx for the review. Will pass on this palette.

  • i like this lighting better than your usual.

  • Me too!

  • Hey there :) Thanks for making this video! By the way, I think this lighting is a lot better than the one you usually have in your clips... I find that your other lighting tends to yellow out and doesn't make the colours from your makeup show up true to life... So I'm not trying to be rude, i really love your videos!

  • true

  • I didn't like this either, glad to know it wasn't just me. I'm disappointed in the quality, I really like their other products though (Especially the sparkle liner). I've found the best for under eye darkness is the yellow NYC cover stick, for me anyways. It's smooth and works well with mineral powder too, which is a must for me. Great review as always!

  • Thank you so much for the review i was gonna get it but not going to anymore

  • Hi Emily!

    Can you please do a review on the Coastal Scents Camo Quads concealer?

  • thanks for the honest review! great work.

  • Thanks!!

  • The best concealor/highlighter is Touche Eclat by YSL.

  • ya...a few of the concealers in there reminded me of Eyeko concealer..that is in the books...its ok..but greasy...It's like certain labs can't find the difference between cream--non-drying to powder..and greasy...lol..

    I find I have better luck with concealers in a tube...I don't want one that dries to powder finish..looks horrible under eye area..NYX is ok..but it sort of does that too...But it is good for those who don't have many fine lines..and only darkness..works well for that..:D

  • I like this palette...I dont love it but I do use the Yellow around my eyes every morning and I love it.....I have almost hit pan on it and the other colors I have barely touched : / mine all feel different too

  • i 2nd carrierossman, and that thing u said about the bottom 3 having completely different textures is sooooo true, i found it extremely weird, but yea, im sad that i can really only use 1 color out of the 6 -__-

  • the hard candy cosmetics website havent worked for months do you know why or is there a new website?

  • they have most of the products available on walmart's website now. i too have noticed the hardy candy site is down, just says under construction.

  • I have thaat and I love it,

  • I like the angle of the camera in this video better than many others. They seem to lengthen and twist your face somewhat.

  • I've been highly impressed with Sonia Kashuk's Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette~blends nicely to skin and foundation goes over it nicely!!!

  • Thank you for this review Emily! I'm glad I didn't buy this. Could you do a review on other items from the Hard Candy line? I bought a lipstain/gloss which is pretty good, but is there anything else worth purchasing?

  • thanks for saving me money and a trip to walmart! this was the only thing from the hard candy line that seemed very interesting.

  • Thanks for the review!

  • tnx, saved me a visit to Walmart. :-)

  • could you do other hard candy reviews?

  • Emily, please do a review on eye bases (other than the commonly used primers). I know you've done a review on eye primers, but what other items can be used as bases to prime the eye... I'm curious as to what others are using.

  • pink/salmon is good for dark undereye circles- i used the bobby brown one for my wedding and it works well.  go figure.
