I finally found a concealer that hides the dark circles I have. I have tried every concealer from drug store to high end and honestly this is by far the best at a good price. It hides the dark circles and does not smudge or look cakey in any way and last all day with no touch up. Team Benefit
This kit came with a boi-ing in medium, high beam, lemon aid, lip plump and ooh la lift. I like everything in it except the lip plump. I don't know why, but it made my lips really dry. I have boughten full sizes (these are all minis) of boi-ing (which works great), ooh la lift (this covers darkness a bit, but also just feels very nice and cooling going on) and will probably buy a lemon aid also (this is for the lids and hides redness and feels nice when applied). The High Beam isn't bad, but I really prefer High Brow!
Pros:Get to try several products without having to buy full sizes right away and the price is reasonable imo. Cons:You might not like everything in the kit. And the boi-ing is only AV in the kit in one shade, which might be too dark for some.
After reading wonderful reviews on this concealing stick, I ran right out and bought it. I certainly was not dissappointed! This stuff is GREAT! It not only covered up my lines on the side of my mouth, but lessened them on my forhead and under my eyes as well! Easy to use, and the best $18.00 I have spent in years!
My old roomate would rave about how Benefit's It Stick is the best concealer she has ever used, and after recently losing my makeup bag with ALL my favorite makeup and brushes, we took a trip to Sephora to replace some essentials. Since I was dissatisfied with the concealor I lost, my friend again recommended the It Stick. For 18 dollars, I figured it was worth a try. SERIOUSLY - the It Stick is the BEST concealor I have ever used!!! It comes in a wooden "stick" form, that I imagine I will need to sharpen when the time comes, but I find it incredibly convenient and the application to be absolutely flawless! All I do is tab the creamy stick over any blemishes or discoloration and under and around my eyes, it is a DREAM!! It is the only concealor that has ever hidden my dark circles without settling into creases and made my skin look moisturized and untouched by makeup!!! That is a big deal for me!
On the Benefit website, they recommend even sweeping it over wrinkles and creases around the mouth. I don't have those, but for around the eyes and on discoloration and blemishes, it is so easy to blend and does not break me out at all! The Benefit website says it is an "ecru" color, and it seems to perfectly match my pale skin. I imagine for other skintypes, it could seriously brighten and do the other things Benefit promises. It also seems like it would be a forgiving color for various skinshades. Take a look at the www.benefitcosmetics.com ...the results they show are pretty impressive. I think I just found my HG of all concealors, and this is the only one that has ever seriously impressed me with it's formulation and application.
Pros:gives the appearance of a "no makeup" look around the eyes while effectively covering discoloration and lines. Cons:none i can think of...though if it came with a pencil sharpener made specifically for the It Stick, that might have been nice.
I went to Sephora asking for an eye opener & brightener. They suggested Lemon-Aid. I use it on the eyelid & outer corner of my eye. Not really for concealing dark circles, more for brightening up my eye area so it appears more open. (This is the fate of 50s - my skin is quite good, but gravity is slowly closing my eye area.)
I like this product. I use it before any other eye shadow, after eye primer. For smoothest results I apply with a finger. I tried a latex sponge & sponge applicator, but don't like that effect. Applying with finger results in no caking. Really opens up the outer corner of my eye & general eyelid area.
Pros:brightens, long-lasting, smooth Cons:require finger application, slightly drying, so must be applied with primer & other eye treatments.
Concealing wand with a yellow color goes over redness, pimples and blochy parts on you face and makes them dissapear for the day. Its smooth and creamy stays all day and doesn't clog pores. Put it on before your foundation or powder. I've bought five sticks already and its the best product for redness. IMPORTANT: when you think you've used it all up and cant twist anymore up get a q-tip and dig in because there a whole lot more of it inside.
Pros:works like a charm Cons:you go through it fast if you use it a lot
a yellow concealer for your upper eye lid to take away redness. Its ...okay.. It has a smooth texture but it goes on really thick and hard to get out of the container. Not for dry skin. It tends to clump really soon.
This is great. It doesn't work well if your skin is dry though. I helps take away redness in the eye area, dark circles, ect. Its very smooth to apply and not greasy. Its not the best product out there but its VERY good for its price. I recomend if you want great coverage for a decent price.
Pros:you get your moneys worth Cons:not the best, but very good anyway
Boi-ing is the best concealer I have used so far. I use it to cover pimples and the redness on my face and it works wonders as it is not heavy like some other products I have used. I have very, very fair skin and the lightest shade is suitable for me (could be a little lighter but then again what couldn't!). I apply this with a concealer brush by Lumene and blend with my fingers. I will definitely buy this product again!
i use the medium, and for me it works wonders. my mom is more tan than i am and the color looked really bad on her, but for my skin tone it works great. ive used lots of under eye concealers and this one is the one that covers mine the best.
I use this in the lightest shade and its great for covering up my blemishes. A little goes a long way. I would recommend making sure your skin is well moisturised before applying this as its texture will make dry patches look worse. It comes in three shades and I think that they could bring out some more so theres more chance of one suiting everyone.
