A double update today! I'm here again with a review for the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in Light. I purchased it at Target back in December so I've had a long time to test it out.

This product is about $7 depending on where you buy it. It claims to help reduce puffiness and darkness under the eyes. There are four shades and two correcting shades.
Swatches:
Color/Texture/Pigmentation:
I have the shade light and it is the perfect shade for my under eye area. You usually buy a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone for under your eyes to brighten up the area.
I would say it gives a light/medium coverage. This is because it doesn't cover up the darkness under my eyes completely but I have bad under eye bags/darkness. If you don't have that bad of darkness under your eyes this product should be just the right amount of coverage.
I also have a really dry under eye area so a lot of concealers look really cakey and obvious under my eyes. This product went on smoothly and didn't look cakey which was a huge plus. It has a powdery finish and it never creases on me.
I would say it lasts for the majority of the day without setting it with a powder. I don't usually reapply it at all during the day.

Packaging:
This has a sponge tip applicator. You twist the red part and product comes out of the sponge so you can apply it to your face. A lot of people dislike the sponge applicator because of bacteria but Maybelline claims that there is an anti-bacteria agent in their sponge. It's up to you whether or not to believe that claim because I can't know for sure if it actually works. It doesn't bother me though.
If the issue with bacteria worries you, you could always remove the sponge and apply the product to your finger and apply it that way.

Final Thoughts:
I really love this under eye concealer and it's one of the only things I can use to cover my under eye circles that doesn't cake up. I would definitely repurchase this product and it is also relatively inexpensive. It doesn't cover everything but it covers enough for me.
I would recommend this product to everyone who has a dry under eye area and has been struggling to find a product that would work for them. I also recommend this to people to are looking for an inexpensive under eye concealer that brightens and doesn't need too much coverage.
If you're looking for a really full coverage concealer this product may not be for you but you could also layer it with another concealer if you want.
Overall it gets a huge thumbs up from me and I recommend it to everyone!
