    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.

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    2.5 years later, and STILL using this concealer! The only one I use, all others fail in comparison!

    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.

    I have to admit, in the past I would never shell out top dollar on makeup. I recently received a goodie bag from Benefit to review for ChickAdvisor, and I now may have to rethink my penny-pinching ways... at least with respect to concealer.

    In the pot, this product looked suspiciously orange. Once on my face, I was surprised at how well it blended. There was almost no need to worry about perfect distribution, except that heavier application did make the product settle into the faint lines I'm starting to notice (grr). I think I prefer Benefit's Ooh La Lift just a little better, but Erase Paste is no slouch.

    A flawless result that stayed put all day - I recommend it!

    I'm new to the world of concealers and am finding Erase Paste easy to use. It doesn't look cakey and heavy, though it takes a while for it to 'dry'.

    I've never been able to find a concealer that really covered my dark under-eye circles, but this one really does. My only dislike of the product is that you have to get your fingers down in the pot ... the little stick they give you to get it out is tiny and hard to keep up with.

    The quality of the product is quite good, though.
