    I've had bad dark circles under my eyes since I was a child, and have tried a lot of products. I love the creamy texture of Erase Paste. The little pot is pricey, but it really lasts for a long time. Just a small amount will conceal a lot. My only concern is how quickly it disappears from my slightly oily skin. I have to carry it in my purse for touch ups during the day.

    I tried this on my friend and was blown away! I tried the "medium" one on her and it gave her entire face a beautiful flow. She has naturally beautiful skin, but the skin under her eyes is quite dark, giving her eyes the hollow look and making her entire face look dull and aged. I tried the Benefit ErasePaste in "medium" on her, and it was like magic!! The under eye circles just vanished! I didn't have to blend much, the medium colour suited her like a second skin, and just "erased" the under eye shadows, perked up her entire face and made it glow like I've never seen before. We couldn't tell that she had anything on at all. It was completely natural, didn't give the 'product' look that some concealers do. It just erased the darkness as if it was never there. She had baby fresh skin!!

    I'm thinking of buying this for her for her birthday. For the quality and effectiveness of the product, the price is well worth it!!

    P.s. I've tried it on myself but it doesn't really do it for me. I don't have much under eye shadow, and what little I have is easily concealed with regular powder or foundation. I don't need the extra concealer.

    I got this for her bday and she loved it!! It still works just as well as it did the first time I tried it on her, so it wasn't a beginners luck thing :-)

    I actually tried this in "deep" for me and fell in love with it!!! I apply it first and apply my foundation, that way it evens out the colour. It really conceals!! I don't have that dark circles to begin with, but on the days that I do, this baby is the one thing that does it for me. I thought I didn't need the concealing, but girl, you can really tell the difference once I apply it!! It almost makes my eyes look too open! But thankfully minus the reverse raccoon eyes that some ladies sport. I would really recommend this to everyone. This comes only in 3 shades which might deter some, but I find everyone pretty much fits into one of those three shades. And if it's a slight different tone, just apply your foundation after concealer and that'll fix the problem! A really great product.

    Tis the season.....for Holiday parties that is. I know as a mom, I look forward to getting dressed up and sparkly. But I am also always tired - and the holiday season just emphasizes that. So, last time I stocked up on cosmetics, I took the plunge and bought Benefit's Erase Paste. I needed some erasing.
    At around $25 bucks a pop, I was hoping it did more than erasing. So, last night we had a holiday party - and I needed some help. I dug into the little pot of erase paste and it did get rid of my dark circles....it actually blended well. And it stayed put without drying out or making me look like a cake face. I will caution though to use VERY sparingly. I got a little too ambitious and a little of this golden stuff goes a long way. Which is good because that means it will last a while.

    I also used it this morning with my jeans and t shirt and just some mascara - no fancy party face and it seems to work well stand alone too.

    I got a slightly smaller pot of this in Benefit's "Stay Put" Set and couldn't be happier with it! I was a bit hesitant about spending the money for the full size product, but the "mini" version in the set is only 0.4 oz smaller than full size. Well worth the $13.

    Anyway, there was not a shade choice when I bought this so I ended up with medium (no.2) when I would have preferred light, but this product blends so well I am able to use it no problem. This concealer is hands down the best product I have used under my eyes, mainly because it works! It has a great nearly full coverage and you only need a little dab to get the job done. I was a little scared of the peachy tone that the product has, but it makes for an amazing coverage.

    I would definitely recommend this product, but make sure to use a good primer with this when using it under your eyes, as I found that it does tend to crease when worn on its own. I like Benefit's Stay Don't Stray.

    This is the BEST concealer I have ever used, and I have tried A LOT! Matches most skin tones great, layers amazing,a nd stays in place all day long! Very little is required to do the job [even covering under eye dark circles], so the small container is worth the price tag!

    I finally caved and bought this $30 cad concealer after hearing great reviews about it everywhere. It is full coverage, but has a light creamy feel on your skin. It comes in only 3 shades: fair, med and deep. The fair works well for light skinned tones however, it works for me. For years, I was under the impression that yellow under your eyes helps in concealing (from all the drugstore concealers that I'd been using) that is a myth and actually peach or salmon colours do much better. This erase paste is that exact colour, an apricot colour that blends into your skin nicely. You just need a small amount and just tap and blend under your eyes lightly. You can always do thin layers if you need more. The pot is small, but will last you forever. It also comes with a little scoop if you are not into dipping your finger in, I probably won't use it myself cause dipping into products that I use myself online does not bother me.

    I would recommend this product, if you are looking for a med-full coverage concealer, and don't mind spending so much. Or ask for a sample size of it, cause that is big in itself, and see if you like it. This concealer may be my holy grail.

    After struggling to find a really good concealer to cover just about everything, i made my way to the Benefit counter to get some tips as i had been using some of its own tinted moisturiser.

    I had recently come up in a few spots and was feeling a bit low about my skin. The lady that told me about erase paste really rated it and was slightly aprehensive as it looks all gloopy and a strange pinky colour! But she explained how to use it (just a little under your eyes and best applied with a makeup brush then lightly blended with your fingers, finish with powder or bronzer on cheeks and voila!)

    It really did make a difference..she did say try not to use on spots as may tend to make them look worse however i do often use a little on them and around my nose area! Bo-ing concealer is the best at hiding my spots and really lasts!

    I have just invested in the Confessions of a Concealaholic mini box that they are doing..its a kit complete with everything you need to make ur skin look amazing!! Best thing iv bought in a long time!! (priced at £28.50)

    I won this product in a gift basket from Shoppers Drug Mart. I originally hated it, as I found it thick, goopy, and it did not match my skin tone. When browsing SDM with a friend, I told her not to buy it as it was horrible. A consultant overheard me and stepped in. What followed was an impromptu how to with Erase Paste, including applying a SMALL amount under the eye in an up and out motion with the ring finger, using another small amount on the lid, then finishing it off with a light dusting of loose powder. Works great as an eyeshadow primer as well : ) No more dark circles, no creasing, and it makes you look like you actually got more than 4 hours of sleep the night before! This is now definitely a fav, and I will but again.

    I needed a concealer, and after reading your reviews I decided to give in and try this product. It`s very overpriced!!! Aside from that it`s a decent product. It lasts well, covers nicely, texture is very good. It`s easy to blend and it`s good for under-eye circles, as it doesn`t cake and manages to cover good yet look natural.
    Overall, it`s an okay product. If you get past the over priced part... give it a try.
