    Amazing product - I have been using this as my eye primer for about 3 years .. I have tried other products but I continue to go back to this one.
    My eyelids are only slightly discolored with some redness and purple (not as bad as some but still enough to effect my shadow). I apply just a small amount of this primer and my eyes are instantly neutralized and become a blank canvas for me to apply my shadows and liners. I did notice that you really only need the smallest amount .. too much and the product creases and looks cakey - it is sometimes corrected with a powder shadow but not always. I have also used this product to correct dark bags under my eyes BEFORE I apply my concealer and it worked wonders but again, you only need a minimal amount. It is a bit of a pricey primer, compared to some that are available at drugstores but since you only need the tiniest amount, the little container of product will last FOREVER.
    I have also noticed that at the odd time that I don't apply this product, my eye shadow creases and does not last near as long. So, aside from being fantastic at camouflaging discoloration around the eyes.. it also prevents my shadow from creasing and helps it to last all day - seriously.

    The Benefit Cosmetics Lemon Aid Corrector is amazing! I apply it useing my ring finger and dab it lightly on my eyelid. It conceals the tiny veins and purple discolouration on my eyelids. You do have to set it with a powder though, or the Corrector creases. I recommend this product to anyone who wants to brighten their dull eyes.

    I actually use this product a little differently than most. I use it under my eyes to neutralize and then apply a touch of concealer on top. It gives me that bright eyed look that I can never find in an under-eye concealer, and just makes me look awake and ready to go! It doesn't cake up, and the product actually lasts a long time.

    Definitely one of my HG items, I use it daily! Highly suggest trying it out ladies!

    I personally, don’t have any overly visible veins or skin discoloration on my eyelids but I can see how this would be fantastic for people who do because this primer has a very light yellow undertone to help off set any blue.

    The consistency is creamy, it almost reminds me of the MAC studio finish concealer. That being said I feel like it may be a little to heavy for me because I do notice a little bit of creasing right after application; however, once I smooth it out again it seems to be fine.

    As far as it's ability to secure eye shadow, it does a great job and lasts all day even on days when I start work at 4am.

    I had heard of a lot of people using this as an under eye concealer/brightener so I decided to try it under the eye and it was terrible.

    It creased so badly that it was unblendable and gave a very muddy appearance. I do have fairly dark under eye circles so I assumed that would be the case.

    Overall this product was ok when used as a basic eyelid primer however I probably won't repurchase because it is a little on the expensive side ($26) and didn’t really WOW me.

    I received a PR sample from ChickAdvisor. I've always been an eyeshadow primer kind of person, so i'm always opened to new primers. I've seen lemon aid around for quite a while now but never really tried it. When i received it, i was excited to try it. The texture seems more 'oily' and slippery than my usual mac paint pot. It's very yellow in the pot but turns more nude/skin tone after you rub it on. Although i usually have eyeshadow on and don't need to cancel my redness, it do notice that my lids is less red and doesn't have that blue-ish tone to it. So that's a plus. It spreads really easily and i find that the best is too use only a tiny bit or else it'll slide and crease. In terms of stay power/eye primer. It works pretty average. It keeps the shadow in place, and slightly intensify the color of the eyeshadow. Overall, if you're looking to test out a primer, this is a good choice, but keep in mind that there are a lot of other options out there so you really have to see what you're looking for. In terms of cancelling redness and neutralizing the eyelid area, this is a good choice.

    I received this product as part of a Chickadvisor swag bag (thanks Chickadvisor!).

    Eye primers are great for brightening the area around the eyes and reducing the look of dark circles. They can also act as a base for eye shadow making it last all day/night. It's a great two in one product.

    This product is great in that it goes on very smooth and the color does make the eyes look brighter. It provides just enough highlighting without looking overdone. The one downside is that it only comes in one color so it might not complement your skin tone.

    Lemon-aide is amazing! Its one of those products that you didn’t even realize you needed until you used it and now you can’t help but wonder how you ever lived without it! You apply it to your eyelids and under your eyes to neutralize the darkness and provide brightness. It works like a charm! I have used it in several different ways. On some days that I only felt like applying a little concealer and blush in the morning I put lemon-aide all over my eye area and it gave it a really bright and healthy glow. I have also used it under eyeshadow as a kind of primer and it also worked wonders for that. When this little one runs out I think I am going to be purchasing the full sized version.
