thick but full coverage concealer
Very thick but if warmed up well and it spreads well. full coverage so i only put on scars or spots, definitely not for use as foundation. Great concealer!!

I finally get the hype!
I love all Kevyn Aucoin complexion products, but held off on this for years because of reviews that said it's thick and cakey. Finally decided to get it when I got a birthday voucher recently...and, wow, I can't believe I've been missing out on this for so long! I don't use it to conceal (my Cle de Peau concealer does a much better job), but I apply a small amount with my Beautyblender all over my face as my foundation, and I love the finish! It looks like my skin, yet it evens up my skin tone and covers up my sunspots. Looks so natural, yet gives my skin an even, smooth finish with a slight glow. And it's so easy to apply. This is my favorite foundation yet! I love it more than my Hourglass and MUFE foundation sticks (which have been my go-tos recently).

THE BEST FOR ME Long lasting May be too thick for you (can thin it out though).
I NEVER leave reviews but had to for this. I bought this in April, it's now late August and I'm nowhere near halfway through it. Lasts forever if worn moderately 4/5 days of the week. I have combination skin but mainly verging on dry. This product is creamy, thick and glowy. I use it for light coverage around my eyes and full coverage on my dark marks on my cheeks. Works perfectly for this. If you prefer lightweight then just mix it with some primer or oil of your choice but it's still worth every penny.

So bad..
This expensive concealer doesn't do anything except creasing so bad. Really disappointed.

Average
I bought this last year an I’m only reviewing it now. Pros: A little goes a very long way. I have fair skin but very dark bags - tried everything on the market am found this does cover them but so do cheaper ones- I got the lightest shade - always best to go one step lighter - many may disagree with me but lighter, no residue or Cakey-ness = brighter. Cons: I found it doesn’t last all day - I work 8-4 and I only wear this box isn’t hygienic at all. I paid £40+ with delivery for £40 it should STAY ON LONGER, better container. I only think it works well for me because I chose lighter shade so my eyes look bright. I only use it under my eyes that’s why it lasts so long.

AMAZING
I love this concealer. It covers my dark circles away like a dream! A tiny bit goes a long way. For reference I have the shade SX11 and I'm usually an NC42-NC44 in Mac.

Amazing concealer for pigmentation and severe dark circles
I have this product in the shade sx08. I highly recommend this product to use as a concealer.

Using for years
This stuff just lasts forever. I seriously think the pot will dry up before I use it all--definitely a better deal than drugstore/high street makeup. I use it as concealer/highlighter. I have three shades and none of them look bad or unnatural. I just keep using this--I'm not really tempted to try any other highlighter. Never gets cakey

If you're undecided give it a go
So I was recommended this by a friend. I was determined to try it as I'm bit of a make up fanatic...Bobbi Brown, Charlotte Tilbury to Mac - you name it i've tried it. Have to say I am pleased. It really is a small pot and you kind of think, is this really worth it.. But honestly I put two drops of oil from the body shop (oils of life) and use a beauty blender and it gives you a flawless, cakeless base. I probably should try using a brush with it but i can't imagine it working that well unless your concealing specific blemishes or using a small amount worked in with a cream to more of a tinted moisturiser consistency. I guess what makes this product so great for me is that you can literally make it as heavy or as light as you want.
I really can't deal with most liquid foundations these days, it never looks natural. I feel like its either...cover my blemishes and look like I'm wearing make up or settle for less and not have my blemishes covered... I find the best thing about it is it's buildable, and not even in the same way that other foundations are..you can legit build up layer upon layer.
Thank you Kevyn Aucoin for once in my life I actually found a colour match that works (SX08 - I'm mixed race with a yellow/olive skin tone) and the closest I could manage was Bobbi Brown before that in about warm natural. I've been colour matched with Mac - NC40 (I still think this isn't exactly my colour), Nars in stromboli, but I'd say SX08 is ever so slightly darker; just to give some colour references. I actually purchased mine online and prayed for the right match. I have to say this was after extensive research and browsing over colour swatches (not that helpful because of the different lightings). I would highly recommend going to a store and getting tested...maybe use an online shade matcher if you're really struggling.
I'm now looking for a shade down and up now so I can conceal and bronze with the same product. I'm not a huge fan of cream products but this is worth it. Definitely one of the best I've tried so far. Give it a go if you're unsure I'd say.
GL in finding your holy grail make up lovers.
Forgot to mention try it for under eye bags...it's amazing...and this is coming from someone who's been hooked on mac prolonger concealer for the past 3 years.

One of the best foundations ever....
I am using this as a foundation and this is the only foundation stay 6+ hours with my super oily skin. Covers dark circles and redness well; wish I find it earlier. Thanks a lot Cult Beauty.

Worth Every Penny
This is quite possibly the only face makeup item I've ever bought that hasn't reacted badly with my skin in any way (trust me my skin hates E V E R Y T H I N G but this). The colour selection is amazing, you can build it up or thin it out. I loved it so much I bought two - the lighter one I use as a concealer with other foundations, the other I use as a foundation. Cannot stress my love for this product enough.

Alex
It really is that good!
I love almost everything about this concealer, but I do understand other reviews that point out to get the most from it, you do have to be prepared to work with it in quite a specific way.
Tip number 1 (that I cannot emphasise enough) is a little goes a loooonngg way! For me this is great because I honestly am not sure I will ever have to buy another one - which make what seems like a steep price tag actually an incredible bargain! You only need literally a pin sized amount on something like a small eyeliner brush to pin point conceal and then blend with a fingertip or brush. This is the best product I have found to cover spots or scarring in small areas, it is very high coverage.
Tip number 2 however is that the creamy texture is not super under eye friendly (certainly in terms of not creasing throughout the day) so my advice would be to again apply with a small concealer or eyeliner brush at the outer edge of any dark circles only and blend up towards the lash line. This is as it is very high coverage anyway and you really want as thinner layer as possible if you want it to last all day.
If you want to thin it and blend it really well, use the warmth from your fingertips. If you want to retain as much of the coverage as possible (such as when concealing blemishes) use a small, fluffy brush to dab and blend it at the edges.
Hope that helps anyone!

A little goes a long way..
This is an amazing product, but you really do need only a minute amount to do the job. I'm very pale (I.e. redhead-pale, but with brunette hair) and bought SX02, which is a good match for me. I blend it on my hand with a couple of other products to get the right colour and consistency for under-eye concealing, but also apply it 'neat' to some other areas of my face where I have redness. If I want to look very done, I use the Sensual Skin Fluid foundation first, but it also works well on its own on top of my sunscreen.

A special product that needs care in use
I felt that I had to try the product due to all the reviews online (though mixed). And my verdict, use it as a concealer, spot corrector, and if you know how to mix with a primer/moisturiser, like my favourite LEA Nature Laboratoire Lift Argan Golden Radiance Mask. It will do great as a light to full coverage depending on how you mix the product. But I don't ever see this on myself or a client alone for foundation, it's too thick. And yes, a little pin drop of product goes a long way. So, I gave it 3 stars because it's not out-of-the-box friendly, you really need to know how to work with it. Pro stuff.

Karen
Love it
I bought SX01 as im really pale and this is perfect for me. A little goes a long long way. Works well mixed with a little face oil if you dont like the thickness.

Just prefect!
Firstly, I didn't know which colour would match my skin tone, but I was so interested in this sensual skin enhancer because of all of the good reviews it gets. I've been looking for natural, flawless foundation for a long time now.
In order to find which colour would perfectly match my skin tone, I sent an email to Cult Beauty (customerservice@cultbeauty.co.uk), after asking me a load of questions they advised me to get the SX05. Just a little tiny bit of product can do much magic. I'm more than happy and thank you so much for your professional advice Cult Beauty.

Mandy
Sensual skin enhancer
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product I use it as a concealer for under the eyes and it works great, it's a little drying for me but with a moisturiser underneath it works great, it is most definitely full coverage an amazing product to hide dark circles and any blemishes on the face. Don't be put off by the price because a little will definitely go a VERY long way this little pot of product will last you a lifetime if using as a concealer but even if it's is being used as a foundation it will last you at least a year. BTW for reference I'm an nc30/nc35 in Mac and the SX08 is a perfect match for me, hope this helps!

Dont be put off by the price
This concealer definitely enhances my skin! It took me a while to learn how to apply it best for my skin type/tone but now that I have got the hang of it I could not be happier. A little goes a loooooong way, it's so pigmented and so thick - it covers every sin known to skin. Try it! Cult Beauty is also the cheapest place to get this baby, go get colour matched at space nk then but it here :) bargain!

Sensual Skin Enhancer
One of the most amazing multi-purpose complexion products out there, I simply adore this product and not only a little goes a long way but it will last for quite a while. If you want to go full-coverage flawless this can also serve as a foundation.

Wowzerz!
This is really lovely, I had an operation and my face was full of dark purple bruises, this product passed the test and covered it all up. I also love the finish when you mix it with your daily moisturiser. Adore it, I will keep repurchasing it, if I ever run out of mine.

Francesca
The star of the show
This product is EVERYTHING!!!!! By far the best concealer for the under eye area that I have ever tried. While it is thick (you really need a microscopic amount to cover everything) and hydrating, it does not crease and gives a supernatural finish. Doesn’t grab at anything or look cakey. So glad a friend recommended this otherwise I would have never gone for a product like this. Ride or die forever.

Holy Grail Base Product
I had read and heard about this product, but was a little weary as it contains mineral oil + fragrance. Decided to purchase it anyhow because I had heard such good things about it. I was blown away with it! You can't sense any fragrance it if that's a concern for you. It's super pigmented - I just tip my ring finger ever so slightly to get the amount I need for my whole face and blend it with my fingers (I think your natural body temperature is the best way to work this product into your face). It looks and feel sooooo natural, and it leaves you with a beautiful, dewy, natural complexion. The perfect base product for a "no makeup" look. Will definitely repurchase once it's over!

Wow
Very few products that I tip my hat off to but this is one of them that felt I had to leave a review which I rarely do. I thought I knew what high coverage was until I came across this baby.
Need so little; it's so emollient that only a dab of my brush into the pot picks up so much product & that's enough for my entire face because it so pigmented but spreads & blends out so beautifully.
It really does "enhance the skin". Price can be offputting at first vs size of product/pot but now that I can see how long it's going to last as well as how effective it is, I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase!

Ysandre
Best concealer ever
This is (literally) the only makeup product I use. A tiny, tiny dab where needed lasts all day. It layers perfectly if I need to cover a blemish. A little goes a very long way! The colour match is very good for me (SX03). A small complaint is that the colour match to other products in the same range is not very clear.

Too thick
I'm a bit disappointed because referring to the description it says that it's a light formula makeup but it's not true. This makeup has such a thick texture that makes my skin look overdone and cakey. As a concealer it's perfect and makes a full coverage . I have never had such a good concealer for my under eyes. However, I wouldn't suggest using it for clear skin as it's too thick and is unnecessary to have such a huge covering on your skin.

Holy grail
This concealer is my holy grail. Honestly I stopped using it for 2 weeks after I've been using the product for about 3 years and I've never missed anything so much in my life!!! If you suffer with dark under eyes this concealer is amazing and the pot lasts for a good 8-9 months. AMAZING.

Not good
Reading all the positive reviews I really thought I'd like this product, but it disappointed me. It's hard to get used to it being such a thick consistency. I was recommended Kevyn Aucoin's foundation brush to go with this foundation, which to be honest I wasn't impressed with either. It did not spread good whatsoever and I moisturised my skin quite well before using. Even with a moisturiser or primer I would not suggest anyone with dry skin use this product. It clings to dry patches quickly and made me look tacky and cakey. Definitely not for me.

Over hyped
That awful feeling when you buy into the hype and the product does nothing but disappoint. Let's start with the colour choices. Poor. I picked SX11 based on the description and research; it is this weird saffron colour. Looking at SX12 that looks like it would give me a awful fake tan appearance. I have Asian/Middle eastern/Latin medium to tan olive skin type. The product is thick, gloopy and lacks wearability. I want to 100% agree with another reviewer on here about how uncomfortable it feels to wear and in fact covers very little! I have a feeling it's better for oily skin type as it seems to have a blotting effect..disastrous for normal to dry skin like mine. I will give this one more chance mixed with my face oil to break down the thick, tacky consistency and see if it applies better. Wish I'd never bought.

Extremely disappointed
I bought this after reading great reviews. I tried this in every way I could possibly think of: on a damp beauty blender, with a concealer brush, my fingers, with every kind of moisturiser I own, with and without setting powder. It's very thick, feels very sticky, and I have to say I use the absolute tiniest amount - so far my small jar of SSE looks like it's remained untouched. I put it to the test on my under eye area, and it's been creasing into fine lines like it's nobody's business; on my blemishes, it enhanced every tiny flake and dry patch, making visible what was originally barely noticeable. Doesn't cover the redness of my blemishes, either, which is unbelievable given how thick it is. It feels very uncomfortable to wear - when I touch my face where the product is, it's sticky and feel tacky and waxy. It is the absolute opposite of the kind of makeup I like. I have no idea what to do with it now and am so disappointed I paid such a high price for something that's positively impossible for me to use!

Wow
So this concealer screams wow factor. It does seem pricey but I can assure you it's worth every penny... Literally the best concealing product I've used in terms of coverage. The different tones you can buy through the shades can contour and also add in depth look to your face... I love love love the texture of this concealer, and honestly can't get enough! This was the first Kevin aucoin product I purchased and it certainly wasn't the last.
A beautiful concealer which I use every day, even on days when I'm pretty much makeup free this is a must in my beauty bag, I advise everyone to invest!!!

Ree
Absolutely love it
I saw quite a few people try this all over YouTube and because it's so thick and covers up a lot of redness under the eye. I thought you wouldn't need a lot so I thought I would try it. After putting it on literally it is the most best concealer in the world I cannot fault it at all!

Couldn't live without it!
I have only ever used high street and Mac concealer, but have never been 100% happy with the result. I have dark circles under my eyes, and this covers them amazingly.
I honestly can't believe how good it is. At first I did get a little creasing but I've changed primer for under the eye and use Laura Mercier setting powder over the top which seems to stop this. A little does really go a long way and I can't see my having to restock this for a long while!
I have medium olive skin, and use NC30 in mac studio fix, and use SX06 which works perfectly. If you unsure email the girls at Cult what foundation you use and they will advise which colour is best.

Val
Wonderful for dark skin too
I tried this product after reading the reviews. I always try products that get loads of good reviews and I'm glad I did. I bought the sx13 and WOW! I have spots and am a dark skinned girl and it works perfect it covers them and leaves my skin looking more closer to natural than caked. I have oily skin and I would recommend it to people wanting a more natural look which is not caked up or made up - a little goes a long way indeed so the small container can last a year !!!! Great product

Tabitha Lighthouse
Amazing.
I bought this last November. My skin can go nuts in the Winter, a mixture of psoriasis and dry redness. I was totally distracted at the state of my skin. This product changed everything. It takes a bit to get used to as it is so thick, a little goes truly a long way. It is an incredible concealer, what makes this different to other concealer is that it is not flat in its colour it brightens and disguises.
Also, the other thing about this, previous to buying this concealer I was using Mac Pro long wear concealer, and when I put a small bit of this product on my hand to put on my face I totally struggled to wash the product off my hand which alarmed me as my poor skin on my face had to be scrubbed and it was already in a bad way. This is product changed everything for me, I really cannot recommend it enough. Guide to colour to choose, I am a Mac C2 to C3 in summer and I got the SX06 which is perfect all year round.

You have to work with it...
I'm a professional makeup artist and was dying to try this! It's so important to warm it on the back of your hand to ensure a smooth application. Once I set it with my loose powder it looked so flawless and brightened my eyes beautifully. It did start to move as the day went on, no matter how much powder I reapplied but it is an amazing product that I would buy again. Just very creamy - be warned!

Alice
Fantastic
This product is like no other- it's incredibly pigmented and thick, so perfect for blemishes or under the eye. Alternatively, you can also mix it with a moisturiser or glow serum (I use the Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Liquid Lighting) to thin the product out and use it all over. I've had it for about four months and barely made a dent in it, so it will last for ages (you really only need a tiny amount!). Try it and you won't regret it!

RAHEEMAX
Sensual MIRICAL Skin Enhancer
I absolutely love this product! Its my holy grail product on the go. It conceals my under-eye area and highlights so perfectly. £36.50 seems like alot of money to spend on a little pot - but they say quality goes far past quantity & this will last you almost a full year!!
TOP TIP: the best thing to use this product with is a damp Beautyblender and dab this product into the skin... set with powder and away you go with flawless skin!

Trish
love it!
Bought SX02 worked out great for me :D! and im like an Nw/Nc15 . I need to use an face oil with this otherwise it's pretty drying, so its great for oily skin, but if you have dry skin it can flake - but as I said face oil/moisture makes it work! I mix it in with my Tom Ford Traceless foundation and it works wonderfully. It turns it more matte with full cover and looks great!

Kevin Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer
So pigmented and luxurious! I take a dab on a cotton bud and blend it out with a damp egg sponge for daytime. It is seamless but natural. For night time I build coverage with a stiff bristled brush and set with powder. Either way, this magic paint just makes your skin look excellent, not overly made-up. The trick is taking much less than you think you'll need. I'm pale and Irish and shade SX02 is perfect, not dark or yellow in the slightest.

Kenin Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer
I bought this product after hearing really good things about it. When it arrived I couldn't believe I had just spent £37.50 on a tiny little pot of makeup....however.....OMG, it's amazing!!! You know how when people say a little goes a long way? Well in this case it's definitely true! This product is so pigmented and the texture has a really luxurious feel. Just a little tiny bit of product is required to give your skin the most beautiful, flawless finish. I absolutely love it!
