    To get rid of darkness circles under the eye it can also be used as a concealer. Comes with a spoon to scoop it out of the container which I found weird. The product is greasy but it does last if you cover it with a powder. I was looking for an eye primer that also removes dark circles. Can't use it as a primer it causes creasing in your eye shadow. $30.00

    I bought the Benefit To Go: "Stay Put" Set to try for $35. It came with the Benefit Stay Don't Stray Primer and Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow (Pretty good deal!) Alone, I don't think I would ever spend $26 on this little pot concealer but the product goes a long way. I did notice that the formula was thick so I only use a small amount around my eyes to brighten it. It allows my eyeshadow to sit and settle well. The shade I use is medium and it has a red undertone which matches my skin almost directly. When applying, it does have a greasy, creamy texture at first but dries immediately after blending. Because it is so pigmented, it provides great coverage, hides scars very well, and evens-out skin tone. The only downside I found about this concealer is that if I use too much it will crease, more noticeably around my eyes. Overall, I love Benefit products and this one works best for me.

    The beneift erase paste is really good, but it creases instantly. Must use primer before putting this product on and apply powder after. It covers under eye circles really well, its super creamy so it easy to blend.

    I put off buying this concealer for a long time despite the fact that I had sampled it and liked it. At $30, it's spendy and only a small container. But, as I soon learned, the tiniest bit of this goes a LONG way.

    My skin tends toward dryness and is totally unpredictable. I'm not oily or acne prone at all. Dry and sensitive. I've had no problems with breakouts or dryness as a result of using this concealer. I primarily use it under my eyes (just for slight discoloration, I don't have major circles), and around my nose (I seem to have a bit of perpetual redness). Sometimes I'll pat it on my cheeks if I'm a bit red. It covers nicely and evenly and blends out nicely. I use the fair shade, which has a bit of yellow in it, which works for me to neutralize the redness that occurs on my skin. There aren't very many shades in this concealer, which will definitely be a problem for people, especially those with very, very, very fair skin. I'm about an NW 15, for reference, and this works for me.

    The caveat - don't use too much!!! It will crease under your eyes, and if your mascara is prone to flaking it might make it worse. It's very emollient. I wouldn't recommend it for those with oilier skintypes. I make sure not to apply too much - just a tiny dab with a finger and I do both my eyes AND nose with it - and then I set it with a smidge of powder. It lasts really well for me.

    While everything is YMMV, concealer is especially one of those things. I like this one quite a bit and will stick with it.

    Didn't do anything for me. I tested the lightest and medium shades and it was either too dark or too light. I still purchased the medium shade though to give it a try, but it ended up making my dark circles worse. I think the formula was too pink and didn't neutralize the purple very well.
    However, a little bit of the product goes a long way, so this tiny jar will last a long long time.

    This concealer works great for red patches or tiny imperfections but did not work so well on my dark circles. I thought it would work okay for those as i had heard a lot about the magic it worked, but no luck.

    This concealer is great, but kind of pricey... It camouflages very well but I find that it leaves skin a little sticky and greasy...

    I have a hard time finding a concealer that works for me over the years. I always find they dry out my skin half way through the day and my under eye/skin blemishes are more noticeable than if I let them hang out bare. I have been using Liquid Foundation under my eyes, which doesn't dry out by the end of the day and helps cover dark circles. I bought this products two weeks ago praying it would work for the amount of money I was spending. Since day 1 and two weeks later I am absolutely thrilled it's working so well for me!

    I still continue to apply under eye cream (will never stop now), and I apply the Erase Paste under my eyes and on my blemishes after I apply my new Stila Tinted Moisturizer I'm completely obsessed with too. I find the Erase paste has great medium coverage, and brightens under eyes and skin for a fresher glow. 8 hours later my skin still looks moist & fresh!!! Sometimes I pat under my eye to smooth out any lines. I noticed some reviews were disappointed that the product didn't "set", maybe that's why it's working so well for me and my normal/dry/combination skin... Everyone is different, I hope this review helps.

    p.s. I bought shade: #1 Fair

    Lord, this has got to the WORST concealer I have ever used in my life. What a rip-off. Sadly, I have been finding that most Benefit products are all hype and no substance. And seriously overpriced.

    This product IS thick as PASTE, so it's aptly named. It also cakes up like crazy, and discolors after a few hours of wear. It actually accentuates what you're trying to conceal, rather than hiding it. It winds up looking like a disgusting mess, even when applied with a brush, even when set with powder, or when using your fingers and no powder. Very bad stuff.

    Truly one of the worst products I have ever bought. If you want something which is far superior to this product, try L'Oreal's Touche Magique, which really is a great concealer which blends well, sets well, and doesn't accentuate what you don't want other people to be staring at on your mug.
