Thank you for your honesty, Wayne. There's nothing wrong with a negative review when it's delivered with respect, and without bashing the creator. Lisa Eldridge is a class act, and so are you!
Thank Goodness someone was honest enough to mention this!!! I noticed the amount of product right after I paid for the pencils and I regretted spending my money this way, especially as someone that does not really need to pin point conceal. On top of this, where I’ve used the pencil (a couple of spots) it’s very drying… so for what I might need to pinpoint it’s not the ideal formula. Bless you for being honest Wayne, we all love Lisa, it’s not a negative thing to raise awareness on things that can be improved though. ❤
Do you moonlight as a life coach or perhaps as someone’s conscious? The way you deliver truths, even hard ones, with such class and grace, we all need you guiding us through our lives in all our decisions. ❤️
Wayne, I trust you and Lisa completely. I was going to order on of Lisa’s pencils until I saw the price. It’s prohibitively expensive. I simply can’t justify it to myself.
I feel that way about a LOT of things these days. I recently saw Erin Parsons’ video on Marilyn Monroe’s favorite perfumes. In the 1960s Marilyn’s receipts showed that she paid $5 for a bottle of Chanel no 5. That is the equivalent of $32 today. And look at what Chanel is charging us now. It’s a disgrace. The greed and price gouging has got to stop, it’s out of control.
Also pinpoint concealing is not something the average woman has time to bother with. Unless I'm going to a special occasion or being photographed, I don't care to look that flawless. This product seems like something makeup artists would use on their clients for photoshoots/videos. The product being thin, light and easy to store is probably good for professional makeup artists to pack with them to go on sets. I don't think it appeals to the average consumer. Just like fancy hairtools that need you to plug in and style for hours with an arm cramp.
And this is why I've stayed over the years. Your honesty comes first! There is nothing wrong with not liking a product from someone with whom you enjoy other products from. Thank you for your continued honesty & integrity Wayne💙
Omg- I bought two of these, and although I absolutely love all things Lisa, I agree with you, I’ve had them 4 days, and today I wound one up to see how much product was there, and was horrified to find I had hardly any left ! I’m not using much, just pin pointing a couple of darker skin damage, I just can’t believe it! Won’t be repurchasing!
Thank you for your honesty, as well as being so construed about it, Wayne! I saw someone compare the price of it per gram to the price of gold per gram and the concealer comes out more expensive than gold!!🤯😢
Your grace whilst being honest is just lovely. I’ve been pinpoint concealing since I started wearing makeup in the 80’s, back then I’d use Rimmel’s Hide the Blemish stick concealer and a tiny art brush and softened with a cotton bud xx
For me it makes more sense to buy a mini concealer and use a small brush to pick up a tiny dab from the back of my hand. I don't even spot conceal most of the time, I just do without complexion products entirely. So I won't even use a full sized concealer before it's expired. This would be a great product for someone like me, but I just can't justify the price for that amount. Thanks Wayne! ❤
Thanks for your honest review, Wayne! I just received my PPC and wore it over my tint and it’s honestly like a physical photoshop in a pencil! I am a no-makeup makeup girl, so this is a perfect product for me ♥️
Thank you! I would love this product, but in my cart to the US it was $40 for one pencil so I passed. I had not even looked at how much product was in one pencil, so thank you for that point!
And pinpoint concealing is a technique that takes skill. It's not at all like you can just scribble and swipe to make it work. I'm at a stage where I'm into products that help me cut down on steps. I'm not looking to add more steps. So no pinpoint concealing for me. A definite pass.
Lisa seems to be a genuine artist and passionate advocate of creating high quality and innovative products, but she is getting bigger as a brand(which is great) and I started to notice that she is spending more on publicity these days, with influencer train trip at the recent lipstick launch and lots of freebies at pop-up event last week. I don't know much about the business side of things, but she must have enough profit from the sales, or investors? I don't know if this means overpriced products for the profit, or because of the actual cost of lab and manufacturing the products being high.. Anyway, I can make a well informed decision about buying something expensive as this. Thank you dear Wayne for your straight to the point honesty, with kindness, respect and grace. ❤❤❤
I was tempted to buy this pinpoint concealer, but was confused by Ms. Eldridge’s demo. She has few flaws. So, I thought maybe that is why I did not see a difference. Your review helped me make my decision. I do not mind paying for a quality product, but quantity also counts. Thank you for having our backs.
I love her stuff but noticed the miniscule amount and anyway had just bought a couple of amazing ones from Rituel de Fille (highly recommend!) So I wasn't in the market. If only more people out there gave a bad review like this❤. You are an absolute star dear Wayne❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Wayne so gracefully put . I love LE products too . I don’t mind paying for quality products, but shelf life and quantity is important to me too ❤
Thank you Wayne! I love LE products, I have a lot of them. I have been back and forth about buying this, but what you are saying makes total sense. There are so many good concealers out there and you can use them with a tiny brush to mimic the pinpoint tecnique. The price is just too much.
Finally an honest review! I feel this is what I've been saying ever since I found out about it and all this pencil has done is made me reach out for my pencil brush and use that to "pinpoint" the placement of my concealer lol
I knew they were expensive, but I didn't realize there was so little product in them! There are other "thin" pencil concealers out there, including some Korean brands. I ordered a few to try out - they're $5 USD each 😊
@@eveningstar8581yeah there is another RUclipsr who did the calculation here on RUclips. I am shocked. I got the concealer but I literally don’t even know what to do, I feel sick I think ill just return it 😢
I'm ashamed to say that I bought one the day after it launched. When she mentioned that it would easily cover broken capillaries, I was sold. I'm expecting the product to arrive in the next few days, so I haven't tested it out yet, I'm sure it's great, coming from Lisa. The issue is that I hadn't even thought about checking the quantity 🤦🏻♀️. On the screen it looks like any other lip/eye pencil. I'm a little disappointed with myself now...
I said the same...defintiely won't be buying. I did the math, and you'd have to buy roughly 72 pencils to equal the typical 1oz. Of foundation. I know it's a pinpointed area, so you'll use less than a foundation, but still. It's way too pricey for what you get.
I would like to start by saying that I absolutely LOVE every products I purchased from Lisa. I have the foundation, the skin tint, various eyeshadows, the highlighter. I like Lisa for her kindness and of course because she is just an amazing make up artist and person. Today I got my order of the pinpoint concealer pen..but I have to say that I am disappointed 😢 i got it because I have very nasty sun spots, so I thought even though there's very little product, that I'd use them sparingly just where i needed. I got color matched through the website. Shade 4 and 5 on the concealer pen would match me (according to both skin tint and foundation I have) sadly it didn't. When I apply the concealer it turns my dark spots into a gray stain making them less visible but still visible because of the color it turned into. Maybe I have used it wrongly but I followed the instructions on Lisa's tutorial to scribble over and then blend a bit. I suppose the issue is the color .. I thought it would be easier to use as lots of us are not make up artist... I want to underline again that I adore Lisa but this purchase for me.. it's a NO and I'm not going to buy more shades as the product is too expensive. Thank you Wayne for your video. You are the best😊
Pinpoint concealing is a professional technique. Same with contour. The average person lacks the skills to nail it right. I stick with basic make up like eyeliner, lipstick and blush. I don't have time to do complicated stuff like face contour or pinpoint concealing. Those are great concepts if you're an actress or model filming on HD. For most women we don't need all these stuff.
Thanks for your great response on this product from Lisa, I love all her products, I actually don't have any of her products but I love her eye shadow and even some of her lipsticks. ❤❤❤❤
The truth is, I would’ve liked to see how it performs and the shade swatches! The genius of Lisa eldridge is the nuance in the shades..you can’t just go out and pick any peachy whatever shade of concealer if you’re a complex mix of yellow, pink, neutral, olive tones like me. The price point, while it may not be cheap is nothing outrageous. Similar to Charlotte tilbury, another brand I love and adore.
Also I personally love her foundation in shade 9.5 and highlighter in the shade crystal nebula. After comparing them to many long running favourites, they’ve come out on top for me shade and undertone wise. I’ve just ordered the concealers and tint in the shades 3,4,5 and t5 and hope they’ll work well just as well.
Fair criticism. But I would have liked to see a demonstration of the product being used and your thoughts on the formula so we could make up our own minds on if the price is worth it to us.
Thank you Wayne. What a gentleman you are. I had considered that maybe the price point was due to the r&d involved considering this is an original product. Still, there are many original products these days.
I don't think the function of the product should justify the price point. A foundation has 750 X the amount of product as this, but are not that far off in terms of price points? What makes concealers and pencils so special in that they need to be marked up so high per gram?
Thank you for the honest review. And wow on the little amount of product. I'll just continue using my tiny liner brushes. I know she's a bit on the pricier side, but I'm actually surprised she priced it the way she did.
I have one, got it from space nk and love it, to me it is exactly as Lisa said, it is for small pinpointed blemishes and marks, it does not stop me using concealer and it is not a product to sweep under your eyes. I find the Jones Road one drags, this is to gently apply. I am wary of reviews, I read them of course, but ultimately if I think something suits my skin and I trust the product it makes no difference. I am not wild about Charlotte Tilbury products, but they are hyped up constantly. It boils down to choice I suppose.
I was about to buy a couple of these but I wanted to wait to see what you said about them. I’m really glad I did - thank you so much. I don’t doubt that the product quality is great, but you’re 100% accurate that the amount of product given for the cost is pretty unreasonable. Hopefully they’ll reconsider the amount in future launches. Thanks again for your honesty!! ❤
I probably will try them when I’m next in need of restocking my tint and spray - for me they will last as I’m a super light coverage preference person so will not be using daily nor for much area. It would be great though if a product like this came with refills like a mechanical drawing pencil does - it would decrease waste of the outer housing and make the cost per use ratio likely far better if the cost of the outer housing/pencil was a once off option. It would also fit in well with her rather remarkable recyclable lipstick mechanism.
I was excited to try this, but I had no idea how little product I would be getting. I need to pay more attention to this. Thank you for suggesting alternatives that are better value for money. A shame though about the Lisa Eldridge one. I would have liked to have tried it.
I guess her mistake was to choose twist up packaging, because instead of at least 1.2 grams from normal gel pencil she could only put inside 0,4 grams. For eyeliner it would be fine, for concealer it is ridiculous. 6 grams would cost 495 EUR. And this is 80 euros per gram - like a gold price 😊
I purchased it because I needed to order a couple of other things from her, so figured I'd give it a shot. I plan to keep it in my purse for quick and easy touchups, or to use when I have an especially difficult blemish to cover, and need to look flawless. I appreciate the honesty, Wayne!
As a Canadian, much like the Aussies, we pay double per English pound, plus only free shipping after paying a high premium, then the duties & taxes, etc..*ouch*. On my last order the price for clearing customs jumped from $39 Canadian dollars to a whopping $49-my heart literally sank. So basically 2 concealer pencils and a skin tint was almost, get ready for this, almost 200 Canadian dollars all together! Thanks for the feedback Wayne. It’s the sad truth.
Thank you Wayne ❤ When I heard Lisa was releasing a concealer I was really excited because her skin tint is my holly grail product...and than I saw it 😢 I just cannot get behind such a small peoduct and that price. Not for me
I still have some of your cream foundation Wayne and I love it as a concealer to touch up during the day. It’s got that balmy consistency like the new Dior Foundation stick but without the awful strong perfume smell! I think you should bring it back as a concealer in a pot or as a stick!!!
It needed to be said. And others are saying it too. The convenience is not a fair trade for that price. I’ll just continue to carry another concealer and a tiny brush! Thank you being honest while being unfailing kind and NEVER compromising your own integrity.
It’s a nice concept but with the limited shade range and minute product inside, along with the fact these types of ‘pencils’ dry out pretty fast. There’s a reason L’Oréal and Estée Lauder haven’t released complexion product in micro pen before. I don’t think it’s cost effective to release without a pretty big price point.
Or she could also change to a similar component that is refillable instead of disposable that way you only pay that full price once and then the refills are more economical
Interesting. Esp since she came out with the all aluminum lipstick case and inserts. With an industry standard lipstick volume. Her concealer pen - likely the least amount of product available on the market in a format that will be thrown in the trash - quite quickly.
I was hoping that. Especially as brands like Suqqu and Surratt have refillable eyebrow pencils that are mechanical like this. Fwiw I got the pinpoint concealer in shade 4 and it is perfect for making blemishes invisible. I like how light and slim the pencil is, as it's great for carrying around/travelling. I hadn't realised how little product there is, so will check out Jones Road next.
when you consider how much of the JRB pencil gets wasted through sharpening, i dont see a huge difference. i also feel the LE concealer covers in one layer vs two or three layers of the JRB for the same effect.
Thats a good point. But Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage works even better and for 12x the amount of product. And the texture really is so much better for micro concealing.
Wayne, you are FABULOUS... I truly love your reviews and your kindness. Your honesty is so appreciated. Looking foward to checking out your new brushes soon. I love the idea of natural bristle with a bit of synthetic. They are also so beautiful.
I was thinking at the time that most people have quite a few 'pinpoint' areas to conceal.....so why not just with a small brush and use a regular concealer! ☺️ Didn't buy it because of the cost! Well said Wayne! ❤
I'm waiting for Lisa to bring out her concealer. The pin point concealer doesn't really interest me tbh. Although I have heard nothing but positive feedback. Horses for courses.
I appreciate your honest review not nasty or unkind x just the truth x if you cant fit more product in due to the design perhaps she should consider a refillable aspect so she can offer refills at a much cheaper price point would also help for people with varied skin tones and need more than one colour of concealer x like the concept but the pricepoint is a huge no x
I was disappointed in it. Not enough shades and I found it hard to blend out. That could be a lack of skills on my part of course! Because there are so few shades I had to go for the lightest as the next few shades up would be too dark and the wrong tone. As it's so light I feel it kind of draws attention to what I'm trying to hide rather than concealing it. Her products are generally great though.
I have many Lisa Eldridge products, but always felt the price was reasonable even though it's a high end brand. Her lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes are great value for money, but the concealer is just ridiculously overpriced although I love the idea.
I’m not going to lie, I’m very excited for mine to come in the mail. That being said, I only wear foundation if I’m going out at night in the weekends- otherwise I’ll do spot concealing under my eyes or to cover up a blemish or two when I get it so i think it’s perfect for my needs. Also, their customer service is soo amazing- I wanted to know if anything used in it was comedogenic (because I have sensitive skin) and they responded with the entire ingredient list within the hour of my sending my inquiry! (It’s all non-comedogenic fyi ) 😊
I believe Lisa designed this concealer to be used primarily for single blemishes, tiny red marks etc. so you don't need a lot of product at all. I think the pinpoint concealer is perfect for people with skin issues and blemishes that still want to look natural. It's not suited for everyones needs.
Beauty with Substance posted a diagram showing that the price per gram of this concealer is in between the price of 22 and 24 karat gold. Comparing a consumable product to the price of gold really puts things in perspective. 😬
Great review. You gave your honest opinion and cost is a valid concern. You are a great artist and so is Lisa Eldridge and she will understand your point of view. Thank you tons.
I’m so glad you said something. I watched her videos introducing this product and it was an instant no. Not only is there NO product, but it didn’t look good on the models. Doesn’t really cover anything bigger then a pin point. Anything bigger shown through on all models. Needs more pigment and product.
What, that’s all that’s in the pencil, I hadn’t even thought about it and I bought 2 shades. I won’t be repurchasing for sure. No wonder she didn’t put them in a pot, I would have preferred that. Thank you Wayne for your honesty and I’m pretty sure Lisa will too especially when folks don’t repurchase them.❤❤❤I’m going to go check out that Laura Mercier one you showed.
I would love to buy it too, but yes, it's too expensive for the amount. I will stick to Laura mercier which is great and last forever. Thank you for bringing it up.
Good to know. Thank you. Sometimes we skip those small details such as the amount of product we get for the price we pay. I’m sure the pencils are great but a bit over the top.
100% agree sadly, I've only been using mine for about a week and when I twisted it up there's so little, it'll probably only last a 2-3 more weeks if that
Hey Wayne ngl when I seen this title I was like is he talking about me 🤔 as my name is Lisa but then I came back to reality 😂 Wayne this is why you have such a big following you are honest and keep it real ❤
I did order the LE concealer pencil, and it came to $39.95 with shipping to the US for this small amount of product. Tracking looks like this will arrive tomorrow. Perhaps I should know better since I'm 48 and have been wearing concealing products since age 13 due to acne. So with 35 years experience I believe I do a pretty good job with "spot concealing" small spots with a liquid or cream. I guess this is a good learning moment. Thank you for the honest review, Wayne! 🙂❤️
It’s kind of predatory I find personally as especially people with a lot of acne scars would be interested in this and to mark up the price this high is crazy. With the amount of product there it probably costs 50p to create one pencil… but It’s just my assumptions
@@KingKikikoi While the price is ridiculous. I think people with considerable acne should allow their skin to heal and breathe. Sure do the concealing when you're going out for special events, taking photos or attending a party. But for everyday.. just go light on products. After all, makeup is a bunch of chemicals and irritants. And then to take it off we use more harsh chemicals. For acne-prone skin you don't want to irritate the skin barrier further. Also, real skin does have texture, pigmentation, blemishes, spots etc. Completely normal. Filters and editing have made people think skin is supposed to look like glass or whatever nonsense. Skin is skin. The delusions are really silly.
I appreciate your thoughts as always ❤ I feel like with this product I'm paying for her expertise and technique more so than her others. Personally I use it for any tiny marks and scars of which I don't have loads, so dont have an issue with the price as I'm not going through it very fast. For me it's for use in an emergency to cover a smaller blemish or for occasions where I want to be flawless but not caked in base products. My daily routine is her skin tint which I find is enough coverage. I can totally see why others don't want to pay it, but wonder what they are looking to get out of the product and if it's for a different use to those who are happy to pay it. Thanks for the video! x
Ahh Wayne I can see ya point. It’s great that you’re so honest and just say it the way it is. So very disappointing sorry Lisa. What a shame. Maybe there’s something they can do in the future to make it a bit more affordable for the amount off product. See ya next time Wayne.
I love how you share your honest opinion, and constructive feedback is always appreciated. I’m sure Lisa will take it on board. ❤ The pinpoint concealing technique is fantastic for addressing small areas that need camouflaging, like a broken capillary or a small spot. However, it’s not ideal or cost-efficient for larger areas of melasma or hyperpigmentation-it would cost me a fortune! I’ve learned to embrace and love these areas and only put in the effort to camouflage them when I need to look super polished. That said, I’ll definitely try the concealers out of curiosity for a couple of broken capillaries on my cheeks and the occasional spot. It might be faster ;-) Thanks again! ✨💕
I am willing to pay more for products from companies that are certified to pay fair wages, don’t mistreat the environment, etc., but her overall rating on Good on You is “not good enough.” I hope that changes.
Thank you. My thoughts as well. When I first saw her video introduction, I ran right over to JR to look at those pencils. Haven’t splurged on those either. It’s the TECHNIQUE, not the pencil, that anyone can do with a small concealer brush and a favorite concealer/color corrector. And any sort of raised, discolored blemish is going to look obvious with pencil concealer drawn over it. I’d say this is most useful for those with relatively clear skin and a bare skin, almost make-up free look.
I can see how it might be stellar for makeup artists or people who feel they need to cover acne scars or hyperpigmentation in a few areas. Fortunately I have neither though my dark circles are frightening, along with the bags. It isn’t a cost worry just not suitable for me. Thank you for your honest review.
When I heard about the new launch i was very excited, since I love to pinpoint conceal and I threw the concealer pencil into my LE shopping bag right away. I am glad I didn't push the buy button that fast. 33 € is a price I have to think about more than twice. Glad I found your video today which convinced me not to buy it. The amount of product is way too small. Thanks for saving my money. 😊
Love Lisa, and you Wayne! I agree, for ME, this isn't a great option. For others, it might be great as a quick go-to product. Thanks for supporting her while pointing out that it isn't the best option for those of us looking for cost-effective products. I trust both of you immensely--rare in this day and age. xo
I commented on another review that it was a ripoff. She even says herself in her video that she would basically just use a concealer and a pinpoint brush. Id rather see a Makeup Forever style palette with a "Signature" brush for that price. Maybe $75 if it offered a good range of shades more . That would make more sense
I had no courage to talk about it… And boom! You made this video. As soon I saw the launch, that was first thought “It’s tiny, and price…..” nope, nope, nope. Thank you❤
She's a truly lovely lady but I agree that is an incredibly high price for such a small amount of product. I can't see it being popular with anyone other than professional MUA's maybe 😕 but then would it be easy to sanitise it?
Thank you for being honest. Lisa Eldridge won't mind because she is an honest person too.
She is 👌😘
Wayne, so are you.❤
I just retrieved mine from the mail😢
She’s honest, but she’s also a business person. Negative reviews are not a good look for her brand. I bet she minds.

The kindest "negative" review ever. Well done!
Wayne, I trust you and Lisa completely. I was going to order on of Lisa’s pencils until I saw the price. It’s prohibitively expensive. I simply can’t justify it to myself.
It costs more than gold in weight.. let that sink in…

This product seems like something makeup artists would use on their clients for photoshoots/videos. The product being thin, light and easy to store is probably good for professional makeup artists to pack with them to go on sets.
I don't think it appeals to the average consumer. Just like fancy hairtools that need you to plug in and style for hours with an arm cramp.

It doesn't go all the way down the pencil?! Crikey.

Your grace whilst being honest is just lovely. I’ve been pinpoint concealing since I started wearing makeup in the 80’s, back then I’d use Rimmel’s Hide the Blemish stick concealer and a tiny art brush and softened with a cotton bud xx
This is genius!
This is such a good idea! I remember using that Rimmel stick when I was a teenager and was VERY heavy handed back then! 😅x
@ From memory there wasn’t a huge amount of choice of concealers back then, or brands to buy from either! Good old Rimmel 😁 x
For me it makes more sense to buy a mini concealer and use a small brush to pick up a tiny dab from the back of my hand.

I'm a super natural makeup girly and I feel I would love something like this too. But the price is too high for the amount 😢
Make it count because it probably wont last you a month…

I appreciate your difficult decision to review this product. We as consumers value your honesty.
Looking at the pencil, I thought there were more than 0.4 grams.. I appreciate your honesty, as always 💖
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks Wayne, many of us (me) forget to look at that number and it's an important one. I will be more vigilant. ❤
I love her stuff but noticed the miniscule amount and anyway had just bought a couple of amazing ones from Rituel de Fille (highly recommend!) So I wasn't in the market. If only more people out there gave a bad review like this❤. You are an absolute star dear Wayne❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Wayne so gracefully put . I love LE products too . I don’t mind paying for quality products, but shelf life and quantity is important to me too ❤
Thank you Wayne! I love LE products, I have a lot of them. I have been back and forth about buying this, but what you are saying makes total sense. There are so many good concealers out there and you can use them with a tiny brush to mimic the pinpoint tecnique. The price is just too much.
Finally an honest review! I feel this is what I've been saying ever since I found out about it and all this pencil has done is made me reach out for my pencil brush and use that to "pinpoint" the placement of my concealer lol
I knew they were expensive, but I didn't realize there was so little product in them! There are other "thin" pencil concealers out there, including some Korean brands. I ordered a few to try out - they're $5 USD each 😊
Brands?
@SaraNeal-k9z The Saem, Peripera, Colorgram. Prices vary.
It costs more than gold in weight. Let that sink in
@@KingKikikoioh my goodness LOL! That's INSANE!
@@eveningstar8581yeah there is another RUclipsr who did the calculation here on RUclips. I am shocked. I got the concealer but I literally don’t even know what to do, I feel sick I think ill just return it 😢
I'm ashamed to say that I bought one the day after it launched. When she mentioned that it would easily cover broken capillaries, I was sold. I'm expecting the product to arrive in the next few days, so I haven't tested it out yet, I'm sure it's great, coming from Lisa. The issue is that I hadn't even thought about checking the quantity 🤦🏻♀️. On the screen it looks like any other lip/eye pencil. I'm a little disappointed with myself now...
Made me smile Wayne, the truth so gracefully delivered. As you said I think it’s a nice product but not much product for the price 😊x
I said the same...defintiely won't be buying. I did the math, and you'd have to buy roughly 72 pencils to equal the typical 1oz. Of foundation. I know it's a pinpointed area, so you'll use less than a foundation, but still. It's way too pricey for what you get.
I am so bored and tired with all these companies overpricing their products. I wont buy them no matter how good they are. Not happening.
Some products can be very expensive and we all have our limitations on what we can or can’t spend on lovely 😘😘
I would like to start by saying that I absolutely LOVE every products I purchased from Lisa. I have the foundation, the skin tint, various eyeshadows, the highlighter. I like Lisa for her kindness and of course because she is just an amazing make up artist and person. Today I got my order of the pinpoint concealer pen..but I have to say that I am disappointed 😢 i got it because I have very nasty sun spots, so I thought even though there's very little product, that I'd use them sparingly just where i needed. I got color matched through the website. Shade 4 and 5 on the concealer pen would match me (according to both skin tint and foundation I have) sadly it didn't. When I apply the concealer it turns my dark spots into a gray stain making them less visible but still visible because of the color it turned into.
Maybe I have used it wrongly but I followed the instructions on Lisa's tutorial to scribble over and then blend a bit. I suppose the issue is the color ..
I thought it would be easier to use as lots of us are not make up artist...
I want to underline again that I adore Lisa but this purchase for me.. it's a NO and I'm not going to buy more shades as the product is too expensive.
Thank you Wayne for your video. You are the best😊
Such a shame!
Pinpoint concealing is a professional technique. Same with contour. The average person lacks the skills to nail it right.
I stick with basic make up like eyeliner, lipstick and blush. I don't have time to do complicated stuff like face contour or pinpoint concealing. Those are great concepts if you're an actress or model filming on HD. For most women we don't need all these stuff.
Thanks for your great response on this product from Lisa, I love all her products, I actually don't have any of her products but I love her eye shadow and even some of her lipsticks. ❤❤❤❤
The truth is, I would’ve liked to see how it performs and the shade swatches! The genius of Lisa eldridge is the nuance in the shades..you can’t just go out and pick any peachy whatever shade of concealer if you’re a complex mix of yellow, pink, neutral, olive tones like me. The price point, while it may not be cheap is nothing outrageous. Similar to Charlotte tilbury, another brand I love and adore.
Also I personally love her foundation in shade 9.5 and highlighter in the shade crystal nebula. After comparing them to many long running favourites, they’ve come out on top for me shade and undertone wise. I’ve just ordered the concealers and tint in the shades 3,4,5 and t5 and hope they’ll work well just as well.
Fair criticism. But I would have liked to see a demonstration of the product being used and your thoughts on the formula so we could make up our own minds on if the price is worth it to us.
Thank you Wayne. What a gentleman you are. I had considered that maybe the price point was due to the r&d involved considering this is an original product. Still, there are many original products these days.
Love these shorter videos…informative yet concise! ❤❤❤❤❤
Same! 🙌
I don't think the function of the product should justify the price point. A foundation has 750 X the amount of product as this, but are not that far off in terms of price points? What makes concealers and pencils so special in that they need to be marked up so high per gram?
I am praying it’s not corporate greed but the mark up on this concealer is actually insanity. I love Lisa hope she listens this isn’t it
Thank you for the honest review. And wow on the little amount of product. I'll just continue using my tiny liner brushes. I know she's a bit on the pricier side, but I'm actually surprised she priced it the way she did.
I have one, got it from space nk and love it, to me it is exactly as Lisa said, it is for small pinpointed blemishes and marks, it does not stop me using concealer and it is not a product to sweep under your eyes. I find the Jones Road one drags, this is to gently apply. I am wary of reviews, I read them of course, but ultimately if I think something suits my skin and I trust the product it makes no difference. I am not wild about Charlotte Tilbury products, but they are hyped up constantly. It boils down to choice I suppose.
It certainly does Christina, all about choice 😊
I was about to buy a couple of these but I wanted to wait to see what you said about them. I’m really glad I did - thank you so much. I don’t doubt that the product quality is great, but you’re 100% accurate that the amount of product given for the cost is pretty unreasonable. Hopefully they’ll reconsider the amount in future launches. Thanks again for your honesty!! ❤

Love your honesty, Wayne!
I love her eye shadows very much as well but when I saw the price on this pin point concealer I was- nope- won't buy it.
Honest review given with grace and kindness - have come to expect nothing less from you kind Sir. ❤
I probably will try them when I’m next in need of restocking my tint and spray - for me they will last as I’m a super light coverage preference person so will not be using daily nor for much area. It would be great though if a product like this came with refills like a mechanical drawing pencil does - it would decrease waste of the outer housing and make the cost per use ratio likely far better if the cost of the outer housing/pencil was a once off option. It would also fit in well with her rather remarkable recyclable lipstick mechanism.
I was excited to try this, but I had no idea how little product I would be getting. I need to pay more attention to this. Thank you for suggesting alternatives that are better value for money. A shame though about the Lisa Eldridge one. I would have liked to have tried it.

Wonderful quick review. Straight to the point!
I guess her mistake was to choose twist up packaging, because instead of at least 1.2 grams from normal gel pencil she could only put inside 0,4 grams. For eyeliner it would be fine, for concealer it is ridiculous. 6 grams would cost 495 EUR. And this is 80 euros per gram - like a gold price 😊
I purchased it because I needed to order a couple of other things from her, so figured I'd give it a shot. I plan to keep it in my purse for quick and easy touchups, or to use when I have an especially difficult blemish to cover, and need to look flawless.
I appreciate the honesty, Wayne!
Always, thank you darling xxx
As a Canadian, much like the Aussies, we pay double per English pound, plus only free shipping after paying a high premium, then the duties & taxes, etc..*ouch*.
On my last order the price for clearing customs jumped from $39 Canadian dollars to a whopping $49-my heart literally sank.
So basically 2 concealer pencils and a skin tint was almost, get ready for this, almost 200 Canadian dollars all together!
Thanks for the feedback Wayne. It’s the sad truth.
Shame about taxes and shipping costs. It does add up 😩xx
@ Definitely worthy of a few moans. Xo
I actually love mine. It just came in the mail on Saturday. Though yea, the price was higher than I expected. Her lipsticks are magical.
It’s a beautiful product! ❤
Well said. I agree x
Thank you Wayne ❤ When I heard Lisa was releasing a concealer I was really excited because her skin tint is my holly grail product...and than I saw it 😢 I just cannot get behind such a small peoduct and that price. Not for me
I appreciate your honesty and this is just one of the reasons we all trust you so much
I still have some of your cream foundation Wayne and I love it as a concealer to touch up during the day. It’s got that balmy consistency like the new Dior Foundation stick but without the awful strong perfume smell! I think you should bring it back as a concealer in a pot or as a stick!!!
It needed to be said. And others are saying it too. The convenience is not a fair trade for that price. I’ll just continue to carry another concealer and a tiny brush! Thank you being honest while being unfailing kind and NEVER compromising your own integrity.
Totally agree! The price is way too high. I don't think people will repurchase these if they do in the first place.
Thank you for your honesty
Always! My pleasure 😊
We all love Lisa, but I would need 3 of those for my face...
It’s a nice concept but with the limited shade range and minute product inside, along with the fact these types of ‘pencils’ dry out pretty fast. There’s a reason L’Oréal and Estée Lauder haven’t released complexion product in micro pen before. I don’t think it’s cost effective to release without a pretty big price point.
Or she could also change to a similar component that is refillable instead of disposable that way you only pay that full price once and then the refills are more economical
That’s a thought 👌😘😘
Interesting. Esp since she came out with the all aluminum lipstick case and inserts. With an industry standard lipstick volume.
Her concealer pen - likely the least amount of product available on the market in a format that will be thrown in the trash - quite quickly.
I was hoping that. Especially as brands like Suqqu and Surratt have refillable eyebrow pencils that are mechanical like this. Fwiw I got the pinpoint concealer in shade 4 and it is perfect for making blemishes invisible. I like how light and slim the pencil is, as it's great for carrying around/travelling. I hadn't realised how little product there is, so will check out Jones Road next.
For that price it should at least come with a refill! It’s actually insane it costs more than gold in weight?!
Thank you for being so honest Wayne ❤
Always ❤
when you consider how much of the JRB pencil gets wasted through sharpening, i dont see a huge difference. i also feel the LE concealer covers in one layer vs two or three layers of the JRB for the same effect.
Thats a good point. But Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage works even better and for 12x the amount of product. And the texture really is so much better for micro concealing.
On point! Nice try, Lisa, but any lipliner dipped in a great camouflage product will do the magic.
Thanks, I needed a reason not to buy as I am skint 😂 Really love this short snappy format Wayne. Happy New Year to you ❤
This is such a good video. You are being respectful and honest. Thank you Wayne for your sincerity and sharing the facts.
Wayne, you are FABULOUS... I truly love your reviews and your kindness. Your honesty is so appreciated. Looking foward to checking out your new brushes soon. I love the idea of natural bristle with a bit of synthetic. They are also so beautiful.
Thanks so much, I really do appreciate your interest xxx
I was thinking at the time that most people have quite a few 'pinpoint' areas to conceal.....so why not just with a small brush and use a regular concealer! ☺️ Didn't buy it because of the cost! Well said Wayne! ❤
I'm waiting for Lisa to bring out her concealer. The pin point concealer doesn't really interest me tbh. Although I have heard nothing but positive feedback. Horses for courses.
Thank you Wayne, was intrigued by this product. Gonna have to pass on it now
I appreciate your honest review not nasty or unkind x just the truth x if you cant fit more product in due to the design perhaps she should consider a refillable aspect so she can offer refills at a much cheaper price point would also help for people with varied skin tones and need more than one colour of concealer x like the concept but the pricepoint is a huge no x
I was disappointed in it. Not enough shades and I found it hard to blend out. That could be a lack of skills on my part of course! Because there are so few shades I had to go for the lightest as the next few shades up would be too dark and the wrong tone. As it's so light I feel it kind of draws attention to what I'm trying to hide rather than concealing it. Her products are generally great though.
If it’s too light as a concealer for you, why not just use it for the corner of the eyes to brighten them up. Xx
@@WayneGossgood idea, thanks Wayne x
Thank you for this. These “higher end” makeup brands are getting ridiculous with their gram for gram pricing.
I have many Lisa Eldridge products, but always felt the price was reasonable even though it's a high end brand. Her lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes are great value for money, but the concealer is just ridiculously overpriced although I love the idea.
I’m not going to lie, I’m very excited for mine to come in the mail. That being said, I only wear foundation if I’m going out at night in the weekends- otherwise I’ll do spot concealing under my eyes or to cover up a blemish or two when I get it so i think it’s perfect for my needs. Also, their customer service is soo amazing- I wanted to know if anything used in it was comedogenic (because I have sensitive skin) and they responded with the entire ingredient list within the hour of my sending my inquiry! (It’s all non-comedogenic fyi ) 😊
Love Lisa and Wayne! Thanks for your honest reviews, Wayne ❤❤😊
I believe Lisa designed this concealer to be used primarily for single blemishes, tiny red marks etc. so you don't need a lot of product at all. I think the pinpoint concealer is perfect for people with skin issues and blemishes that still want to look natural. It's not suited for everyones needs.
My thoughts exactly, except it took me to make a 20mins video rather than your concise 2 mins one hahahahahahah much love ❤
I watched your video couple days ago!
@@vanessalawson4045 Thank you so much, Wayne is class
Love your honest reviews gracefully delivered. Agree that it's a nice product but not so much for the price. Thank you, Wayne ❤💯
You’re welcome sweetheart 😊xx
Thanks for watching darling ❤
I totally agree with you Wayne ❤ thank you for your thoughts.
You are so welcome sweetheart 😊
Beauty with Substance posted a diagram showing that the price per gram of this concealer is in between the price of 22 and 24 karat gold. Comparing a consumable product to the price of gold really puts things in perspective. 😬
Great review. You gave your honest opinion and cost is a valid concern. You are a great artist and so is Lisa Eldridge and she will understand your point of view. Thank you tons.
I’m so glad you said something. I watched her videos introducing this product and it was an instant no. Not only is there NO product, but it didn’t look good on the models. Doesn’t really cover anything bigger then a pin point. Anything bigger shown through on all models. Needs more pigment and product.
What, that’s all that’s in the pencil, I hadn’t even thought about it and I bought 2 shades. I won’t be repurchasing for sure. No wonder she didn’t put them in a pot, I would have preferred that. Thank you Wayne for your honesty and I’m pretty sure Lisa will too especially when folks don’t repurchase them.❤❤❤I’m going to go check out that Laura Mercier one you showed.
I would love to buy it too, but yes, it's too expensive for the amount. I will stick to Laura mercier which is great and last forever. Thank you for bringing it up.
Good to know. Thank you. Sometimes we skip those small details such as the amount of product we get for the price we pay. I’m sure the pencils are great but a bit over the top.
100% agree sadly, I've only been using mine for about a week and when I twisted it up there's so little, it'll probably only last a 2-3 more weeks if that
That is a shame. All trial and error xx
I was wondering what you thought about this concealer pen. I really appreciate your honesty which of course was delivered with respect and kindness. 💖
Hey Wayne ngl when I seen this title I was like is he talking about me 🤔 as my name is Lisa but then I came back to reality 😂 Wayne this is why you have such a big following you are honest and keep it real ❤
I did order the LE concealer pencil, and it came to $39.95 with shipping to the US for this small amount of product. Tracking looks like this will arrive tomorrow. Perhaps I should know better since I'm 48 and have been wearing concealing products since age 13 due to acne. So with 35 years experience I believe I do a pretty good job with "spot concealing" small spots with a liquid or cream. I guess this is a good learning moment. Thank you for the honest review, Wayne! 🙂❤️
You’re so welcome Sarah xxx
It’s kind of predatory I find personally as especially people with a lot of acne scars would be interested in this and to mark up the price this high is crazy. With the amount of product there it probably costs 50p to create one pencil… but It’s just my assumptions
@@KingKikikoi While the price is ridiculous. I think people with considerable acne should allow their skin to heal and breathe.
Sure do the concealing when you're going out for special events, taking photos or attending a party. But for everyday.. just go light on products. After all, makeup is a bunch of chemicals and irritants. And then to take it off we use more harsh chemicals. For acne-prone skin you don't want to irritate the skin barrier further.
Also, real skin does have texture, pigmentation, blemishes, spots etc. Completely normal. Filters and editing have made people think skin is supposed to look like glass or whatever nonsense. Skin is skin. The delusions are really silly.
I appreciate your thoughts as always ❤
I feel like with this product I'm paying for her expertise and technique more so than her others. Personally I use it for any tiny marks and scars of which I don't have loads, so dont have an issue with the price as I'm not going through it very fast. For me it's for use in an emergency to cover a smaller blemish or for occasions where I want to be flawless but not caked in base products. My daily routine is her skin tint which I find is enough coverage.
I can totally see why others don't want to pay it, but wonder what they are looking to get out of the product and if it's for a different use to those who are happy to pay it.
Thanks for the video! x
Exactly! You’re welcome darling 💝
Ahh Wayne I can see ya point. It’s great that you’re so honest and just say it the way it is. So very disappointing sorry Lisa. What a shame. Maybe there’s something they can do in the future to make it a bit more affordable for the amount off product. See ya next time Wayne.
Cheers
I love how you share your honest opinion, and constructive feedback is always appreciated. I’m sure Lisa will take it on board. ❤
The pinpoint concealing technique is fantastic for addressing small areas that need camouflaging, like a broken capillary or a small spot. However, it’s not ideal or cost-efficient for larger areas of melasma or hyperpigmentation-it would cost me a fortune! I’ve learned to embrace and love these areas and only put in the effort to camouflage them when I need to look super polished.
That said, I’ll definitely try the concealers out of curiosity for a couple of broken capillaries on my cheeks and the occasional spot. It might be faster ;-) Thanks again! ✨💕
I love that you will tell the truth - too many people would compromise themselves. Good man.
Thank you darling xxx
I am willing to pay more for products from companies that are certified to pay fair wages, don’t mistreat the environment, etc., but her overall rating on Good on You is “not good enough.” I hope that changes.
Thank you. My thoughts as well. When I first saw her video introduction, I ran right over to JR to look at those pencils. Haven’t splurged on those either. It’s the TECHNIQUE, not the pencil, that anyone can do with a small concealer brush and a favorite concealer/color corrector. And any sort of raised, discolored blemish is going to look obvious with pencil concealer drawn over it. I’d say this is most useful for those with relatively clear skin and a bare skin, almost make-up free look.
I can see how it might be stellar for makeup artists or people who feel they need to cover acne scars or hyperpigmentation in a few areas. Fortunately I have neither though my dark circles are frightening, along with the bags. It isn’t a cost worry just not suitable for me. Thank you for your honest review.
She has said that there is a dedicated under eye concealer on its way too (along with a couple other concealer formulas)
Let’s hope she doesn’t come out with a brush pen type concealer with 0.4 grams of product for her liquid concealer lmao
When I heard about the new launch i was very excited, since I love to pinpoint conceal and I threw the concealer pencil into my LE shopping bag right away. I am glad I didn't push the buy button that fast. 33 € is a price I have to think about more than twice. Glad I found your video today which convinced me not to buy it. The amount of product is way too small. Thanks for saving my money. 😊
Love Lisa, and you Wayne! I agree, for ME, this isn't a great option. For others, it might be great as a quick go-to product. Thanks for supporting her while pointing out that it isn't the best option for those of us looking for cost-effective products. I trust both of you immensely--rare in this day and age. xo
I commented on another review that it was a ripoff. She even says herself in her video that she would basically just use a concealer and a pinpoint brush. Id rather see a Makeup Forever style palette with a "Signature" brush for that price. Maybe $75 if it offered a good range of shades more . That would make more sense
OMG Wayne you look stunning with those glasses on! x x
I had no courage to talk about it… And boom! You made this video. As soon I saw the launch, that was first thought “It’s tiny, and price…..” nope, nope, nope. Thank you❤
She's a truly lovely lady but I agree that is an incredibly high price for such a small amount of product. I can't see it being popular with anyone other than professional MUA's maybe 😕 but then would it be easy to sanitise it?
