Which is better for dark circles?

The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind is the one built for under-eye dark circles, with an oil-free, non-comedogenic formula. The Magic Star is a general full-coverage concealer with a matte finish.

The Magic Star states increased wear time and a self-setting effect. Maybelline makes no wear-time claim, so the Magic Star is the safer bet for long days.

Which is better for sensitive skin?

Maybelline states it suits sensitive skin and is non-comedogenic and oil-free. Magic Star lists no sensitive-skin claim, though it is fragrance-free and paraben-free.

Is the Magic Star worth the price?

At $9.00 to $13.97 at Youfromme, it is inexpensive for a 20% pigment, self-setting formula. The tube is small at 3.4 ml, so heavy daily use runs out fast.

Which gives a more natural look?

Maybelline's natural finish looks softer, especially under the eyes. Magic Star's satin-matte finish reads more made-up and sets firmly.

Do both work for all skin types?

Maybelline says yes and adds non-comedogenic and oil-free. Magic Star does not state a skin type, so patch test if your skin is reactive.
