KUMAARA RADIANT FINISH CONCEALER!

I've never used a concealer a day in my life but that does not mean that I don't need it. I will have to go out and check this product out. I've heard a lot about Kumaara products and I guess that means I need to research it a little further to see what they are all about. I must say this was a great review!

WTG, Agrimony!  Excellent review.  By now, y'all have convinced me that I really need to look into this Kumaara line.  I don't use concealer that much - and the one I have is from The Balm.  It works well enough.  But of course, I'm also using foundation.  EVERY DAY.  I'm thinking of trying your routine of moisturizer (tinted, maybe), primer and concealer would be a nice, low maintenance routine for the summer.  And despite my investment in the Monistat faux primer - I'm seriously tempted to try Kumaara's illuminating primer.  I love MMU for all the new ideas you give us.  BTW - those nasty little capillaries, spider veins on our faces?  I had them BAD.  My dermatologist zapped them a couple of years ago, using some electrical thingie (not laser).  Didn't cost much, and worked great!

Thanks for the awesome review! I'm glad you found something that works perfectly for you! Like you I am often frustrated that concealers come in only a few 'universal' shades! I remember the first time I used my mom's concealer. It was this bright yellow stick (can't remember the name) and looked awful on me. I stayed far away from concealer until about a year ago, so about ten years!

Sounds lovely, and I do need to find a concealer that gives a bit more coverage than my loose powder ones for those really pesky, red spots. Might be worth trying this one.Thank you for the review. :)

Hello.  I am using the Kumaara stuff on their 30 day trial.  I am also thrilled.I want to add that I have sensitive skin and it worked just fine on face.  I know many people such as myself who have sensitive/combination skin sometimes hesitate it trying something new.  I ask myself ,"Is this going to clog my pores?"  The answer is NO.  I did not see any irritation at all.  If you in the market for a concealer I encourage you to try it.  I am glad I did.

Omg...Can I tell you how much I love this? Seriously. This is probably the favorite item that Meg sent me in my little package. I looove it. It goes on so silky and blends nicely. It covers dark circles under my eyes perfectly. It also does a nice job covering blemishes. I'm sold on this and totally in love.

Wow, it sounds like I missed out by not getting to review this line! You are all very convincing!!

Agrimony - great review. I am soooo wishing I could get my hands on this line - every review gets fabulouser and fabulouser. Concealer is my personal holy grail of cosmetics ever since I broke out in acne for the first time in my life last year. Also battle with redness - most concealers I've tried don't do much for me there, unless I put it on with a trowel....but then it looks like you are wearing too much......

Thank you for the review! I'm very interested in trying this!

Great review! I really dont have a need for concealer but when I do I need a great one to get the job done perfectly. This sounds like it could possibly be that ONE. I'll try and find this product so I can try it out and hopefully give you gals a great review like this one.

I have been using the cinema secrets concealer which is amazing but it is in a palette of 4 other colors (this is for my makeup artist kit). I would love to have my own concealer in the perfect shade! I really appreciate compacts that come with GOOD brushes (rare!), I would love to try this! I have a hard time matching my skin =(

It is such a pleasure to have a forum where those who want to write are nurtured and encouraged, so again, hats off to Meg for being such a fabulous mentor.  Before I found MMU I was so often frustrated on other sites because comments more detailed that one or two sentences were severely discouraged, as were "off topic" remarks.  Here, nothing is off-topic.  We share our opinions, our expertise, our questions and, most delightfully, our lives.  So Stylemamma and Agrimony, Mazel Tov and keep 'em coming!

Here's the deal, this Kumaara concealer and all of the other completely appealing Kumaara products I have tried are packaged in elegant black and gold containers. My immediate thought was that the containers are very rich looking and they remind me of something that would have been used back in the time of Egypt. You just have to know that these most revered items of makeup and skin care in their sleek containers would have been put right inside the tomb, along with jewels and gems with Queen Nefertiti if Kumaara had been around in 1390 B.C.E.! The printing of the word 'Kumaara' even looks like script from another time – also so very elegant!
Nefertiti's name means "The beautiful one is come”. Again my point...with the Kumaara products you will have people you know announcing when YOU walk into the room “THE BEAUTIFUL ONE IS COME!” I'm telling you – this product line is all that!
 I just love the quality! When I open up the impressive little gold & black box of concealer, it's almost like the feeling of when you were a little girl and you got to open your mom's best jewelry box and the treasures inside had you giddy with anticipation and excitement! Then to actually have a special 'tool' to use to apply the concealer... (honey! This is the big leagues!)
I received the 'light to medium' shade but I'm not entirely sure if the color is quite the right match on my skin for the areas I wish to conceal. I have more of an olive toned face! However I can tell you that it's effortless to put on! Smooth baby! I have to stop writing now because I'm going to go update my will and mention that I'd like to be buried with the Kumaara product line (especially the concealer in this delightful little gold & black case) – I'll probably REALLY need it at that point!!) LOL!    If someone does try to put some of the radiant finish concealer on me, they better be using the nice little applicator brush that comes with it and not their finger or a crusty old q-tip! 

Really, really good review!  Their company should hire you!  You have totally convinced many of us that this product deserves our attention!  And, yes, it seems that you like it a little---hehe!

SO much better than Laura Mercier.  And I am an enormous fan of Ms. Mercier.  But better.

Wow great reviewI never really put much thought into a concealer... And its no wonder I am always dissaponted!Need to track some down!

I'd never heard of this company until the reviews here, but I'm always on the lookout for something to cover up my undereye circles. I don't need a lot of makeup otherwise, but concealer can be so tricky to get right.  I'm so very pale that most of them don't match flawlessly - if I ever get a chance to try this one out I definitely will!

Ohhhh i think I would really love this!!! I have been looking for a good concealer and I love that little brush!!! The packaging is really appealing and from the great reviews I think I need this!!!

Oh, the packaging is so pretty. I know packaging isn't that important, but, you know, this is pretty and a joy to use, the packaging just enhances an already incredible product.  The black and gold is really very nice.Jeanasina, I really liked your comments about Nefertiti. I have been using a body wash and soap from Kings and Queens called Nefertiti and have always felt a connection to her and Ancient Egypt. Yes, she would have loved this.  

I received this in Light/Medium from Meg (thank you very much!).I've been testing it out and it's a little light for my skintone. And I wish the coverage were a lot heavier, because I have fairly dark undereye circles. However, the packaging is gorgeous (even the box it came in had the most elegant pattern inside!), the little concealer brush is nice and soft and works well, and it doesn't crease!!!! That is in itself a small miracle, because concealer almost always creases on me. So unfortunately, I probably won't go out and buy this ($29 concealer is a little spendy if it doesn't give me enough coverage). But it is a really nice product.

I absolutly dislike light reflecting concealers. Under my eyes it seems to make the undereyes circles apear more and on blemishes they seem bigger. I use a paris berlin pallet right now and I love it.

If youve got a light reflecting concealear you arent using on your skin,use it instead to make your lips look bigger,just put some on the concealear brush andapply to your cupids bow,it reflects the light and makes your mouth look bigger or you could apply to your brow bone to draw attention to your eyes.

I do love this concealor but I still use a little YSL touche eclat over it..why because my under eye circles are dark and vicious ya'll. However this concealor works better then any other concealor I have used under my YSL touche eclat ie I don't look like complete death like I usually do.

What a great review!  I remember just a few years ago that concealer wasn't available in very many shades.  It isn't like I have needed concealer for most of my life, because I am only 23.  My skin used to be drop dead perfect.  My skin looked so good, people swore it was airbrushed, and that was without a drop of makeup.  I often thought of how lucky I was.  I swore to myself that I was going to freak out if I ever got really bad skin.  Well fast forward to a few years later, say 19ish.  For the first time in my life I was almost done with my teen years, a college student, and had a sudden acne ridden face.  Many people are just getting over the acne problems at this age, but mine were just starting.  While everyone else was hopelessly suffering with acne in highschool, I had clear acne free skin.  Everyone thought I was lucky, and so did I.  And then when everyone's skin finally started to clear up, mine became horrible.  I think it was mainly due to stress, and whacko hormones (if you can actually have whacko hormones at such an early age).  Through my college years my skin was so horrible, that I often couldn't go without makeup anwyhere, because I looked like a swamp creature.  Now for the first time in years my skin is pretty clear again.  I do have the occasional breakout, and I do have a lot of acne scarring to deal with.  But hopefully as time goes on my acne scarring will diminish.  I know it's hard to find a good concealer.  During my bad years I had to use a lot of concealer and foundation.  I used up a concealer in about a month usually.  I didn't feel bad about wearing all that makeup because I made it look very natural, and it was helping to hide my swamp monster skin.  But it was just a pain in the butt.  Many concealers don't conceal anything.  This sounds like a wonderful concealer.  I do have to use concealer once in a while still, and this sounds like a top of the line, full coverage concealer.  For the occasional breakout, for my acne scarring, and for my photoshoots (where having flawless skin isn't an option, but a must), I think I'm going to try this.   

I am always looking for amazing concealers...I seem to suffer from dark circles no matter how much sleep I get.  This is one of those miracle products that doesn't require much work at all.  I keep it in my kit just in case :)
