Currently using the reformulated version.
It's very full coverage and a bit thick so a little definitely goes a long way, especially under the eyes. With proper skin prep and a light hand it can look pretty nice, but it can also cake and look dry if you're not careful.
Overall I like it but it's not HG nor do I think it's the most user friendly concealer out there.
