Good Points

Creamy consistency ensures easy blending.
Each pot comes in 2 colours, so you can always find a colour match to suit you, no matter what race or colour of your skin.


Bad Points

Creamy consistency has its downsides : Can settle into fine lines - so not sure if its really that good for mature skins.


General Comments

Ruby & Millie Concealer Duo is available in 3 shades : 1, 2 and 3. I tried them all and only number 1 came closer to my skin. I'm Asian (Japanese/Chinese) with pale yellow-toned skin, and many brands of European cosmetics which are light enough for my skin turn out to be too pinkish in tone, which doesn't match my yellow-toned skin. Yet I cannot use the darker shades because they are too dark. Ruby & Millie's concealer Duos are perfect because they are yellow-toned enough, and are blendable to suit any skin tone. It does settle into fine lines, and tends to shift a bit after a long day, especially if you've been under hot, humid conditions, but I don't think its a really big problem if you have normal skin that isn't too dry or too oily. I only use it to cover my under-eye circles, so I'm not sure how good this is on covering little spots and blemishes. A little goes a long way. Piling up loads of product will only cause more caking and creasing (and this applies to most makeup products of most brands anyway!), so avoid using too many layers of this. Otherwise, an excellent concealer with an excellent colour match for my skin. The only other European brand concealer which is yellow-toned and gives good colour match for my skin is Lancome's Palette Mix, Maquicomplet, or Cle De Peau's stick concealer. I guess a good colour match may not be that important for you if you apply concealer first before blending a layer of foundation over it, but if you're like me, who only apply concealer around the undereye area and don't blend foundation over it, a good colour match is absolutely necessary.
