Lisa historically used the LM secret camouflage palette for pinpoint concealing. That palette seemed to last forever! However it did require to really learn and perfect the technique and use the correct brush to get a really good undetectable finish. It contains a whopping 5.868g of product.

The newer, more convenient and easier to use LM secret concealer duo pen is £34 and contains 2 x 1g. One for disguising and one for under eye and brightening. I’d assume that it’s very pigmented being from that brand…? I haven’t tried it do can’t really comment.

Lisa’s pinpoint pencil contains 0.4g for £27. In comparison her eye and scripting lip pencils contain 1.2g.

I can only assume that the reason for the price point and small amount is the concentration of pigment which means you need a tiny tiny amount to get results, without a brush. So you pay for the convenience and portability of it too?

It’s still a lot, don’t get me wrong. I was considering buying the boy brow arch pencil but was put off by the tiny amount as highlighted on the reviews. It’s 0.5g for £24

I wonder what the next LM. Concealer will be, price wise and grammage?

You make a good point, but then if the customer service team is telling people you could buy two, I just feel like it misses the mark. Moreover, as you say, you can buy similar products at a far more reasonable cost.

I've used my Concealer Pencil a few days now. I do like it. It does what she says - unsurprising for Lisa Eldridge - it covers well, leaves a skin like texture and does focus where coverage is needed. The colour matching I think is on point for her foundation and skin tint. It's definitely not for under eye - not that I've tried, however it's just not a product I'd use there due to the purple darkness and increasing number of fine lines there.

A slight caveat - I am not as price conscious when it comes to make up. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to always pay high end prices, however if a product does the job it's designed for and provides what I need it to, I'm not going to shy away from a high price to product ratio. This isn't viable for everyone, and I'm not for a second suggesting it should be either. Make up is such a personal thing.

I also haven't tried the Laura Mercier. That's a brand I've never taken to; I only got the translucent powder in the last few months. Don't know why, just never gravitated towards it. Is it worth it?

Re customer services suggesting you buy 2 - of course they're going to upsell. However, I would argue that they also mark one as being brightening and one as a match. For how she states the product should be used, brightening isn't needed, unless you'll do inner corner of your eye as she does in her video, but you can use highlighters, eye shadows or other concealers for a brightening effect, if desired.

Edited to add 2 more lines.

That’s a very considered and helpful review, thanks. I don’t mind spending either and I think in most cases it’s reflected in what you get; however this time I think it’s a pass but I look forward to reading other thoughts!

I saw someone do a price:weight comparison and the concealer is basically the same price as gold lol
I’m gonna feel so rich when I put this tit on my face, ladies

I bought it, and I bought some of the lip glosses and one of the refillable lipsticks. Happy birthday to me! I am pretty appalled that the amount of product is so small for the price.

I bought some Chanel under eye concealer in Canada last year, but I’ve lost it. It was so much cheaper because it was in Canadian dollars! Right now I have just been using Sephora brand. I have major under eye circles and excess skin that I’ve had removed, but some of it is still there so I have wrinkles that are for a much older woman. I’m so self-conscious about it so anything I can do to cover it up is helpful.

Apologies if this has already been shared but the chatter about the new concealer reminded me of this Reddit post I saw a while back.

If this was a genuine Lisa Eldridge product, then it’s interesting to see that she chose a pencil, rather than a more traditional liquid format!

She said she had been working on 4 formulas and a liquid one is en route, which will work for under eye. The pencil one just happened to be done first. This was all in the promo video for the pencil concealer.

Thank you for sharing - great find.

I'd love an under eye concealer and would pay whatever for a good one. I have used Sisley in the past, that was pricey at around £70 but that was for 15ml (and a brush!).

Regarding the volume of product in the concealer pencil - it's listed as 0.4g. I pay £35 for Bobbi Brown's long-wear brow pencil - 0.33g. I use it every day and it lasts me, actually I'm not sure how long, a year? So I don't think this is terrible if it ticks the boxes. I'm not sure I'd get much use out of it, or I'd burn through it if it did a good job with dark circles.

I did repurchase the Kitten Lash mascara, however, despite previously being unsure as to whether I would or not. I had a few 5% codes so stacked those. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't last as long as others (I usually buy Clinique mascara), but often all I wear is gloss, brow pencil and mascara, and it is a great product so justified the repurchase to myself.

Just seen on Facebook
When her under eye concealer is launched, I *may* buy the pinpoint one too because I have a blood vessel on my cheek that I have to cover and all other concealers wear off as the day progresses. IF it stays put all day then I’d buy it. Until then I’ll stick with my cheap Collection concealer.

Come on Lisa, release more colours in the eye pencil! I’m waiting for a really blackish navy, I’d also consider a blackish burgundy too (I have brown eyes)

I also see she has her new buffing brush on her website. No official launch yet, she should do a video showcasing her brushes as they do look beautifully crafted. I need another brush like I need a rash (I still have my OG prescriptives foundation brush!) but I saw Lisa use the buffing brush with the skin tint on a recent video and I was intrigued.

Ooo excellent spot. Like you, I don't need anymore brushes. I've bought one regardless. Just call me a MagpiePon 😂

(PS - my husband would roll his eyes if he knew. He knows not to comment as it's my money, but he's also the type to say "you only have 2 feet, why do you need so many shoes")

Oooh! Let me know how you get on either the buffing brush. Lisa used it tonight on her makeup microdosing video.

I thought the giant pencil gimmick was cute.
I thought it was kind of cute too because she looked so awkward doing it. Like, she’s always so elegant and this was definitely… not!

At least she did a pop up this time instead of a fancy train ride with self inflated influencers. That almost put me off her entirely. I actually messaged their customer service to express my disappointment.

I really like her makeup though, and the skin tint and the Velveteen liquid lipstick has lasted me the better part of a year. I rarely wear makeup except when I’m at work, but when I do, I love to have a uniform that I can just put on, I know it will look good, stay put and enhance the bits that need enhancing.

Since no one asked 😉 my routine is - cleanse with her gel cleanser, embryolisse as a primer, spf, skin tint, kitten flick eyeliner & kitten lash mascara, sculpt & shade lip pencil and the velveteen liquid lipstick. I look well put together without being overdone. 5-6 days a week during our six month season and sometimes up to 12 hour work days, with travel and hauling and such. My make up looks immaculate when I get home.

I’m planning a refill of the lipstick, skin tint, possibly the enhance and define lip pencil (has anyone used both lip pencils? Opinion on difference?), the epanoui lip balm, and the pin point concealer. I have rosacea so am looking forward to using that to cover broken capillaries and redness.

Any other suggestions in her line that you would say is a holy grail for you?

Thanks for sharing! Although I prefer 'my' colour (2W) in the S&S pencil, I prefer the formula of the E&D one. It's much longer lasting and doesn't wear off as easily when I put a balm or gloss on top.

I love the shades of the sculpting, I wish she would make a few nude shades in the E&D too. Muse was my nearest and it was still too strong a colour.

Thank you! That’s really good to know, and you’ve sold me!

I agree I love the subtlety of the sculpting shades.

I really, really love the Skin Tint. It's definitely a holy grail item. I'm fair, pink-to-neutral, with oily slightly dehydrated skin. It makes my skin look great. As does the regular foundation.

Waiting on my package. It has been 5 days since an update. I want my stuff!

I love it too! I’m a T6 and I think it’s a perfect shade too! I think the foundation (shade 10) is a tad too yellow beige for me so I save it for evenings out where the light is more forgiving

Does anyone use the Elevated Glow regularly? I’ve had mine for ages (cosmic rose() and I always forget it’s there. Do you mix it in with foundation/tint or use it on high points? Any tips appreciated
