We received a sample of Sarah McNamara Miracle Skin Transformers Treat & Conceal Eye and Face Concealer to try out and it is a pretty versatile product that adds a nice skin treatment to a robust concealer.

What I love most about this concealer is that it is the only eye skin SPF that does not irritate my eyes in the least. Usually eye creams/concealers with SPF manage to make my skin raw and migrate into my eye and cause irritation. So if it did nothing else, it would earn a spot in my makeup bag just for the SPF factor.

The application is smooth and doesn’t crease. In fact, it seems to get smoother as the day goes on. Love it, love it, love it. The coverage is very sheer – if you need more substantial coverage try two thin layers. But again, it won’t cake up. The texture is thick, so you only need a little bit at a time. No worries about running out anytime soon.

Other than just on eyes you can use it on your entire face or as a spot treatment/cover. I especially like it to cover the little bit of redness under my nose – it really gives a visual boost to the nasal tip. I tried the light color, and it is very light even on my super pale skin tone, but more in an illuminating way. My Mom (slightly more yellow toned than me) found it to be great in terms of color. But if you are on the fence as to what color to choose, you should probably choose the darker color, although you might want to get both and mix them together for the right shade.

It’s great to find a concealer than both treats with great ingredients like marine collagen and chammomile and does the job to cover up pesky dark circles! We’re thrilled!

I love waterlining my lower lid rim with a nice bright pencil to hide my allergy-red eyes. And a nice white or even bright peach pencil sure makes your eyes look bigger, but it also looks like you obviously waterlined. Looking for a more natural option? Try Urban Decay Naked Basic 24/7 Glide-On Double Ended Pencil in Crave/Venus.

Here’s the thing – I’ve tried every eye drop in the book and I have never achieved perfectly white, gleaming eyes aka Katy Perry in the..well, every video of hers. Even Twiggy had to keep putting eye drops in all day long to get her iconic look. So while waterlining is a wonderful makeup trick, the wrong color can make you look like you are trying to hide the fact that you were out drinking all night, not just that you have hay fever.

So I picked up Urban Decay Naked Basic 24/7 Glide-On Double Ended Pencil in Crave/Venus at Ulta to see if it would be a more natural look, and I am thrilled with the results. Venus is a golden-cream, which is brightening, opens the eye, and covers redness on the inner rim while not looking like you are wearing anything. Because looking bright eyed and bushy tailed is always better when you don’t look like you spent 30 minutes putting on makeup to get there.

Crave is also a great dark liner – I love it for tightlining my upper lid.

All in all, this two sided liner is a great, natural looking liner that works for the office or at night. It is super-creamy and has great staying power, while coming right off with an oil based cleanser at the end of the day. And at $16, it is a great deal for a generously sized dual ended highly usable liner.

Find it at UrbanDecay.com and Ulta.com.

And yes, it goes fabulously with the Naked Palettes…

I put on a nice thick layer of each to swatch color – but the formula is ridiculously smooth:
