Hello, hello!
I received the Hey Honey Active Propolis Cream Concealer in my October GlamBag and I’ve been wear testing it for several days and feel ready to review it. This is the second product from Hey Honey that I’ve gotten from Ipsy. [info in italics is taken from the Hey Honey website]
WHAT IS IT:
An active cream concealer that minimizes the appearance of dark circles and other discolorations around the eye area.
WHY USE IT:
This highly pigmented cream treatment concealer combines a special blend of amino acid Proline and Vitamin E to provide an anti-wrinkle effect for a smoother appearance. Emollient oils support the lipid layer of the skin, minimizing visibility of fine lines.
WHO IS IT FOR:
Normal to Dry Skin Types
HOW TO USE:
Gently squeeze cream from the tube onto a clean fingertip. Apply a small quantity to the under-eye area. A second layer may be applied, until perfect coverage is achieved. Can be used alone, under or on top of foundation.

I always use an undereye concealer, even on days that I’m not wearing foundation – my usual one is the Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector (review is here). So how does the Hey Honey one compare?
As you can see in the swatches below – the Hey Honey concealer is peachy toned, whereas the Becca concealer is more pink toned. Both blend well with my skin tone.
I was surprised by how moisturizing this concealer is. A little goes a LOOOOOONG way, the first time I tested it out, I had enough concealer for days, haha! It works well to conceal dark circles and brighten the under eye. I haven’t had any issues with creasing either. All in all, I think that this is a great under eye concealer!
It seems to only be available in one shade – natural tone. I’m doubtful that it would work for darker skintones, but maybe I’m wrong. I’d like to see it swatched on several different skintones to know for sure.
Have you tried this concealer?
Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!
Disclosure: This was a part of my monthly Ipsy GlamBag subscription that I pay for.

I’m loving it too!

I was so surprised that the shade worked, it seemed so dark when I first swatched it!

I know, right? It’s bizarre. It must have color correcting pigments or something! Did you set yours with a powder?

I’ve tried it both with and without powder with the same results.

It’s such a shame it only comes in one shade! Sounds like a great product. 🐝

I really like how moisturizing it is, and I don’t need to add regular concealer on top of it.

I quite like the sound of this (especially given the blemishes I have and the panda-like dark eye under circles!) I find it a little odd it’s only available in one shade though. With super pale skin I’d be wanting something lighter than this which is a shame. Still, sounds like a handy one for you from the Glam bag! 🙂

I’m super pale as well, but surprisingly it blends in with my skintone. But yeah, just one shade is not enough!

Have not heard of this brand but I like how pigmented and moisturizing it is. My under eye area has been looking so dry lately – I need to switch up my products!

I had only heard of them in a recent Ipsy GlamBag where I’d gotten a Hey Honey lipbalm which is also great!
