Have you ever played join the dots or woken up with a panda eye. I do. Every single day. I don’t like it, and it is not going to go away over night. While I’m trying to make efforts to make my face look flawless and not have any dark circles, I need to do some damage control and what better way than to use concealers. One of the concealers I have been reaching for more often is the Clinique Even Better Concealer.
My Experience with Clinique Even Better Concealer
Clinique Even Better Concealer comes in a simple non-fuzzy tiny tub packaging. I have the concealer in the shade Almond that is a medium shade from the range. The concealer has yellow orange undertones, which helps balance out the darkness underneath my eyes. Clinique Even Better Concealer has a creamy texture, which blends effortlessly into the skin. Don’t forget to use a moisturizer first to aid in easier blending. The concealer also has a great coverage and can be built to full coverage.
I use this concealer to cover acne marks, dark circles and it works well. My dark circles are very bad and I prefer using an orange corrector like the Kryolan Brush on concealer in an orange shade, and then top up with the Clinique Even Better Concealer. If your dark circles aren’t bad you can easily skip the corrector. In the swatch below I have used the concealer on my dark circles without any corrector and you see it still performs an amazing job. The only con I can see is that the availability is only in Clinique outlets which aren’t many and the price. But this bad boy will last a very very long time and is worth every penny you spend.
The Good
- Medium to high coverage (buildable)
- Creamy texture that blends easily
- Long lasting
- Doesn’t streak
- A little goes a very long way
- Small compact packaging
- Didn’t break out my sensitive skin
The Bad
- Not as easily available
- Some may find it expensive
Overall verdict: 4.5 / 5
Price: Approx Rs. 1600/- for 3.5 gms

It really makes it look like I barely have dark circles and it is quite easy to work with.
Hey I have been searching this for months I thought they discontinued this. Is this a recent purchase of yours?
Pankhuri recently posted…My Envy Box February Forest Essentials Edition
I got this about a year back. Didn’t know it was continued. This is one of the best concealers I have tried till date. Really hope it’s not discontinued.
Great. wish it was readily available.

So do I. I love this concealer.
This concealer did such a great job! It really looks so natural on you. I am a huge fan of Clinique’s skincare, but never tried their makeup.
Recent Post: Faces Ultime Pro Velvet Matte Pinked Out Review
I’ve explored their makeup range but not their skin care. I have the concealer and foundation from the Even Better series and both are totally wonderful.
Sangeeta you are very luck that you bought it year back. I went to Clinique to buy this around 7-8 months back and they told me it is discontinued 🙁
Oh my.. didn’t know about this. Now I have to hunt for another concealer that is as good as this.
omg…..it sounds so amazing 🙂
aditi recently posted…Aroma Magic Under Eye Gel Review
It is super amazing Aditi. I am in love with this concealer.
I haven’t used any concealer from Clinique. I am impressed with the result, it gives such a great coverage!

I love the result of this. I sometimes that this gives better coverage than my MAC studio fix concealer.
Wow, it looks so effective!
Carol in a Page recently posted…KIKO Radiant Fusion Baked Powder: Ethereal Glow in a Compact?
Yeah Carol. Every time I use this I feel like my dark circles vanish.
The product is worth the money I think Sangeeta. It blends easily plus gives high coverage is enough to justify it’s price. Plus I think it would last longer…. Great review 🙂
Sonali recently posted…Purplle skincare shopping haul
Thanks Sonali. This concealer is everything you mentioned. Totally worth it.
I wouldn’t mind spending on Clinique, their products are awesome. Love the EOTD <3
Salomi Das recently posted…Blue Heaven 12×1 Fashion Eye Shadow Review
Thanks Salomi. But there is no EOTD.. just good old concealer on one eye 😀
I have heard really good things about this concealer, should try it only it is expensive but my dark circles are getting bad, so time to try it out
[email protected] recently posted…Freeman Body Replenishing Lotion – Shea Butter & Lemongrass Review
It can definitely hide the pesky dark circles. If yours are very bad like mine I would suggest using a corrector first for better results.
Wow! It actually has done an amazing job. Your under eye looks so clear! I am impressed.

Pavithra – Chennai Beauty Blogger recently posted…Real Techniques Miracle Sponge Review
Thanks Pavithra. I love the result too.
I love how it has concealed all the darkness around your eyes ! Do you know if this is still available ? Last year in Nov I had gone to the clinique store asking about this range and the SA there told me its no longer available 🙁 She could definitely be wrong but if its still sold I’d like to pick it up !
Lana recently posted…Review : Kryolan ‘DREDB’ Derma Color Camouflage Creme / Green Color Corrector
I checked out Clinique counter in Lifestyle this weekend and they mentioned they were out of stock. Need to check Clinique outlets to be sure. I really hope they haven’t discontinued the product.
Price is the only con or else I love their products.. i feel it is an under rated brand in India
Natasha Bhatt recently posted…Mr. Bean Body Care Mandarin Coffee Scrub Review
I have 2 products from Clinique and I love them both. Guess it’s time for me to explore their brand.
Can easily makeout the difference. quite impressive!

Clementia recently posted…Instant Fashion Shopping with FYND.
But this is one area where I think we need to splurge a bit because the end result is just amazing.
That was a very detailed review, I’ll surely try this concealer by Clinique. Glad it lived up to the promise.

Style.. A Pastiche!
Thanks Chaicy. Do let me know how it works on you.
What is your favourite concealer at the moment?
Wow! the before and after pictures says it all.. Gotta try it soon! I have tried there 3-step skincare in past , sadly that didn’t work for me :/
Priyanka Talwar recently posted…Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Jar – Review
I wanted to try their 3 step skincare set. But the trial kit itself isn’t as cheap. I have their foundation as well and it is wonderful.
Wow, am just impressed with its performance 🙂 Even I do have dark circles, am using oriflame one though. But wish your one is available now and I can grab this asap 😀
Anamika recently posted…Life Hack Series…
I wish for the same Anamika. If possible I’m going to try and get a backup. Btw is the oriflame concealer good at hiding deep dark circles?
Hey Sangeeta, am very sorry for replying late! well I use that perfect light concealer very me one, it gives minimal coverage only 🙁 I don’t have deep dark circles, so fine for me. but it won’t give higher coverage,so NO NO!!
Anamika recently posted…The Nature’s Co – Green Apple Lip balm, Peach Crème Body wash and Walnut Mint Foot scrub Review
Oh. Thanks for the info Anamika.

Aww.. very sweet of your Khushi. But what I have are actually panda eyes and not in the good way 😀
It looks amazing. Even I have to use a corrector. I will get my hands on this concealer soon 😊👍🏻
withloveakanksha.blogspot.in
If you find it somewhere do let me know. Some readers stated that Clinique seems to have discontinued the product. Really hope that isn’t the case.
Also which corrector do you use. I would like to try out a few other brands as well.
I live in Australia, so I thought may be I would find it here but as I was searching online, I couldn’t see it anywhere ☹️
You can check them out on Amazon
Oh thanks :). Actually I was thinking to buy from a store coz it’s hard to get the right shade online. But will have a look there.
In case you don’t get in stores you can always go online and try to find your shade.
The product looks great dear and the effect is really showing in the images..can surely recommend it to my friends.
http://www.colossalcloset.in/the-gypsys-valentine/
Hope your friends love it too.
I’ve always liked Clinique, except never really tried their makeup, except for maybe a few eyeshadows and a blush or 2. This sounds like a very promising product; going to try it for sure!
http://www.addictedtolace.com
Give it a try Roshni. It works amazingly well.
Wow! The proof is in the pudding. I’ve used the even better dark circle corrector and I didn’t like it because it left bumps on my skin. But this concealer sounds nice.

This is definitely one of the best concealers out there.
Wow! The difference in the pictures is remarkable. I was using Maybelline concealer. Will surely try this one out next time.
The Maybelline ones are very mild for my dark circles. This is amazingly heavy duty and super easy to work with as well.
Woah, look at that after pic and look at that brows <3
Great review. I am keeping this in my wishlist 🙂
Swathi recently posted…ELF Studio Blush Mellow Mauve: Review , Swatch

I’m going to check out in the Clinique store this weekend. I really hope it isn’t. If it is I’m going to buy it online, I wouldn’t mind spending extra to get it.
I finished this last year and now I’m loving the Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer <3
Ishita recently posted…All Good Scents Scentbox – A Perfume Trial Service
I tried the Maybelline Fit Me Concealers. But unfortunately even the darkest shade was too light on my skin tone.
This is my HG concealer 🙂 nice review.

Thanks Priyanka. Glad to have found another fan of this concealer.

Gressa recently posted…Best butter in town: The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter Review
I hope they relaunch it. It truly is the perfect concealer ever.
Really looks like a nice concealer. I have severe dark circles and I m seriously in search of a good full coverage concealer. Am confused between The Clinique one or the Bobbi Brown one!!
yamini recently posted…How to Take Care of Your Skin and Hair on Holi
I’ve tried the Bobbi Brown one. I have very deep dark circles and the coverage provided wasn’t enough. I’m next looking to try Nars which I’ve heard works on deep dark circles well.
Yeah I have also heard that Nars concealers work best for dark circles but Nars is not available in India??i want to try out their foundation and blushes too…
Yamini recently posted…How to Take Care of Your Skin and Hair on Holi
Sephora is going to open up in my city and I am sure they will have Nars.
I am a real big fan of Clinique products and this one is no different
I love this concealer.. sadly this one seems to be discontinued in most places.
