Great Go-To

Best high-end eye primer I've tried to date. The light color allows both darks and brights to pop on your eyelids. Creasing is minimal with great coverage and staying power. Definitely prefer over creamier primers like Urban Decay primer potion.

Sadly this product wasn't for me. I tend to have dry skin, and I found this product made up eyes look dryer and wrinklier. Although the theory of the product is good, had it of been a more softer or moisturising based product, it may of been more effective for me.

LIFE SAVIOUR!!!

If you know how to apply it correctly, you will conceal and highlight your eyes and face in one single step! This Benefit product is a MUST HAVE for me. Worth the money, in my opinion! In my post and video I show you how to apply it to get the most of it and what to expect BEFORE you purchase it!

I can't live without it

It corrects my dark circles, brightens up my lid, brightens up under the brow bone, covers redness around my nose and in a pinch will neutralize a blemish. It will make regular concealer stay put - but warning, if you don't put some regular concealer over it before you apply eyeshadow, it will crease. Especially in the summer. Honestly, most days I don't even wear eyeshadow and I tightline, so I don't really use it for priming purposes anyway...hence, the creasing problem doesn't really annoy me. I can't recommend this product highly enough. It's practically my magic wand.

Kill two birds with one stone?

I walked into Sephora one day looking for a good primer and didn't find what I wanted but one of the Reps talked me into getting this. Came home, tried it as a lid primer and it was not my best friend. It creases but on the up side, it neutralizes the skin tone. I wasn't satisfied with it so I left it in my make-up box for a few weeks until I was out of concealer and decided to use this as a concealer for my under eyes, around my nose, lips and chin. This works wonder and it's super creamy. I believe that this would work as a concealer for any skin type and color. You can use it as a primer and concealer, your choice. Hope this helps you out.

Instant eye opener esp. after a long night!

Like:

I really enjoy using this product on its own for the days when I don't have time to do my make-up or the days after I've had a long night out! It really helps brighten your eyes instantly.

Dislike:

I tried to incorporate this product into my regular make-up routine recently, but was a bit disappointed. I wore eyeliner on my top lid which was basically gone within a few hours. Needless to say I won't be using this as primer with other products.

I have vein-y eye lids that sometimes have redness. I just bought this product and used it today for the first time. It instantly neutralized my eyelids without a yellow finish. I also applied some under my foundation around my nose (broken caps) and it corrected the redness there. This does what I wished Philosophy's Keep The Peace did.

Perfect for Breakouts too!

Ive been using Benefit lemon aid since late 2005 and i have repurchased it (well in kits) and always have used it. I love the yellow color correcting formula it works not only on the eye lids but on red break outs which is AWESOME! but it does have its down falls. I have my recent lemon aid in my Confessions of a concealaholic which i purchased at my local ulta; I have almost hit complete pan too!

-Plastic round compact with mirror inside. -Smooth creamy formula, easy for blending -Buildable coverage for medium to full coverage for all over face (not just eye area) -Great for removing redness but only have a few hour lasting capacity. -Makes your eye area look awake & less red! (especially if your eyes are red) -Creases on the eyes after awhile, even if there's a base under. I normally where this when i don't want eyeshadow s i have to blend the lines out but the redness is still concealed. -No harsh smell or staining. -purchase at any local benefit bars/stores, sephora, ulta, or online.

The only down fall is it creases after a few hours which stinks.but i do love popping this under my concealer when i have a breakout on my face; Or Ive had toughs lazy mornings before work where i use this by itself just to make my eyes look awake! I still use this and will continue to do so unless i find something better which i haven't yet so i am not worried.

Bright eye

I really like this product. As soon as I put it on my eyes instantly brighten up and any discoloration, viens, etc. disappear. And even though its yellow it doesnt apply that color it blends very nicely. So I'll defiantly get another when mine runs out.

Works great on its own to hide redness and make the eyes look more 'awake' but as an eyeshadow base, it tends to crease on my oily eyelids and doesn't seem to make the eyeshadow stay on for much longer than it does without any base. Although it does intensify the colour and payoff of most eyeshadows. Might try another one when this runs out.
