My favorite concealer, compared even to those costing 5-10 times more!, January 1, 2006
I have, sadly, mild acne even into my middle age, so I regularly have both "spots" to cover up as well as under-eye circles. I've tried over the years many, many concealers, from drugstore brands (Almay, Cover Girl, L'Oreal, Revlon) to high end brands (MAC Studio Finish, Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Trish McEvoy, Clinique, Prescriptives, Shu Uemura, Shiseido) and none of them -- NONE of them -- comes close to being as versatile and effective for me as Sonia Kashuk's little "Hidden Agenda" palette. Apparently many women who shop at Target (which carries Kashuk's makeup exclusively) agree with me, because 9 times out of 10 when I look for it on the shelf, the spot is empty. It sells out quickly. Consequently, I'm *thrilled* to pieces that I'll be able to buy it through Amazon now! And I plan to buy it in quantity so that I don't run out!
The palette consists of four pans: a light concealer, a medium concealer, a greenish concealer (for neutralizing red tones in blemishes), as well as a translucent setting powder, and is equipped with two miniature brushes, which are surprisingly good quality, given the price. The lid contains a small mirror that I find helpful for application and the container itself is quite sturdy. I usually keep one palette in my purse and one on my dressing table.
Although this palette wouldn't work for those with darker complexions, it would do quite well for those with light-to-medium complexions. One palette typically lasts me for six months, but that will vary, naturally, according to an individual's use. The "medium" tone concealer works quite well for me without mixing except on blemishes, where the "greenish" concealer in addition works wonders underneath, but I often paint (and blend) a narrow stripe of the "light" concealer down the center of my nose in lieu of a shimmery highlighter, which accompishes the same purpose in a more subtle manner and allows me to maximise my use of the palette's contents. These concealers not only render my blemishes virtually invisible, they have excellent staying power, something that I've found not to be the case with those I enumerated above.
Rarely is a "Holy Grail" makeup product as much of a bargain as this one, in my experience, but I'm glad to say that I have found mine with this palette.

AN EXCELLENT CONCEALER AND BUY!!!, April 30, 2007
I have been using this concealer for over a year along with a Lancome product for under my eyes. I would use this exclusively but it is a bit too thick for that area. That said it is one of the best concealer products you can purchase including many of the more expensive department store brands.
I have used Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Clinique, and Elizabeth Arden over the last 30+ years and I don't think that any of these measure up to this one and it is such a great bargain. I think that all of the Sonia Kashuk products and brushes I have used are very good quality.
The shades in this palette are very good and I love the powder so much I am planning on buying it in the full size! I hope this never goes off the market. I am 55 and have always had problems with blemishes and now as I age some sunspots etc. This palette takes care of any spots, discolorations etc. I wouldn't be without it.
Also, the container is slick, the lid has a mirror but also a smooth plastic area where the colors can be mixed if needed. The two small brushes have held up with daily use and frequent washing. Overall just a really great product and design.

Agenda, February 5, 2006
I have a large collection of very expensive concealers but Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda is the only one that really works for me. The light colour concealer is perfect for my fair skin. There is a darker one and mixing them you can get the colour you want. Perfect palette that quickly became my favourite item in my purse. Good coverage, possibility to get different shades. There is also a green neutralizer for red spots and imperfections and a powder cosealer. It is my hidden agenda.
