Stryx Concealer Stick - Light Cognac Natural Pigments That Hide Blemishes, Acne and Shave Burns, for Men

Getting this stick may be the first time I've ever bought makeup as a man (unless you count the skin health products Salma Hayek recommends, tepezcohuite). Like everyone, I have little blotches, tiny sores, or the bags under my eyes--inherited from momma. This stick does the job without announcing itself, if you select one matching your tone pretty well. You can rub it out into a good blend so it's not obvious. Especially when paired w something like the cream above, the blend becomes invisible. It wears well, doesn't drip, doesn't irritate.

I like this product a lot. It's easy to use and easy to control the location and amount of concealer applied. The concealer and blends in well with my skin, and does a good job of covering up blemishes and red spots. Washes off easily, but I haven't noticed it sweating off or rubbing off on clothes. Definitely seems like it get's the "men's" markup - seems to be about double the cost of comparable women's cover up sticks.

worked well, to blend u just need to tap ur face, one time the cap fell off and my bag was smelly, but besides that it works well. The cap doesn't usually fall off, I don't know why it did it this time but other then that th eproduct worked well.

Perfect cover up for dark spots and red veins on you face. Happy for more men's products that are easy to use and don't look like makeup

I tried using this to conceal black circles under eyes and some small broken blood vessels. This product did not completely hide either for me. This could be due to the shade I tested. Mahogany probably would have worked better for my skin tone. With the cognac shade, on me at least, it obscured the blood vessels and made them less pronounced but they were still clearly visible. It did not do a whole lot for the black circles. I started with very little product then kept adding a little more to try and cover it, but that just resulted in the obvious appearance of wearing concealer. And the black still was coming through, again less pronounced but still there. It was nice that on the box they give you a link with tips on how to apply. Convenient to those of us who normally do not use this type of product. If you go with this choose your shade carefully. On the Stryx application tutorial video on YouTube they mentioned something about resources for choosing the correct color you could look into..
