The sad truth: I've tried many, many concealers and I've NEVER found one that did not make me look older! (I'm in my early 50s.) the trade-off is always coverage vs. too thick and, thus, the tendency to make one look older. (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!) My solution? I am now using Tarte's 12-hour foundation (in a tube) for a concealer---and it works GREAT! It has so much pigment, it covers well and, yet, it's not thick like concealers, so it doesn't settle into my fine lines and wrinkles. I had literally completely given up on concealers prior to my "discovery" to use Tarte's 12-hour foundation as a concealer. Great, great product. P.S. - I also recently tried their powder, clay foundation (the kind in a pot) and I LOVE it. It's very different from other mineral foundations (silkier). Again, it's one of the only mineral foundations available that doesn't make you look older!

Is this the one?

Yes.

Which color do you use?

[Goldengate8361]

I wear light-medium beige, which is a very neutral color....it's supposed to have some cool undertones, but the "coolness" is very, very slight. I actually bought mine from a local Sephora store where I could try on colors.

I have been using this FOUNDATION for a year and love it. However, I need to use a concealer with it. I'm over 60 if that makes a difference. Just wanted to let you all know that this is not a concealer.

Could the OP clarify what she bought? I'm interested!

If you read the original post, she clearly states that she uses the Tarte 12-Hour Foundation. Her point being, that she has never found a concealer to work for her.

Exactly…she is using the foundation as a concealer.

Madamanne----you are right; it's foundation, not a concealer, but I USE it as a concealer. Because it has such great pigmentation, I've found that it works beautifully as a concealer. Of course, it's not thick as true concealers are, but I've generally found that the "thickness" is what makes most concealers look very aging. Hope that clarifies! Everybody is different; I'm just sharing what is working really well for me.
