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.
This is a great two-in-one product. I used it as a base to correct eyelid cover and then to make the eyeshadow on to last longer. It is also a nice shade on its own for a more natural look. What really adds to this product is the convenient compact it comes in, with a small mirror, making it a great make-up to carry in your purse for quick touch-ups.
I love how it makes my eyes look refreshed. I use it on my eyelids before I apply my eye shadow. It creates such a smooth and natural glow. I also put it underneath my eyes and it was such a nice look. I would absolutely recommend it, a little goes a long way. This is my first time using Benefit products, the packaging always is so appealing at Shoppers. However it is more expensive than CoverGirl or Maybelline, which has deterred me in he past.
I've never used a colour correcting eyelid primer before, so I was really looking forward to reviewing this product when I received it in a gift bag. I turned over the package to review the ingredients and immediately fell disappointed, I knew I wasn't going to be able to actually try this product which was a huge letdown.
The 6th ingredient in the product is Mineral Oil....I don't DO mineral oil. Mineral Oil is a cheap, cheap filler product that doesn't do anything healthy for your.skin It sits on your skin and doesn't allow it to breath. Basically it suffocates the skin by coating it with a film. Most people have their first concerns with aging around the eye area. The skin is very delicate around that area (think tissue paper delicate) and putting a crappy product around your eyes is just going to "speed" up any aging you see in that area. I would recommend you look at the ingredient listing for the rest of your skin care and makeup products and chuck anything with Mineral Oil!
I like this product, and then i also dont.. i actualy use it not just on my eye lids but also under my eyes for my dark circles. It works great for covering dark circlesand discoloration, as long as you put some foundation or powder in your skin tone on top, and it actualy keeps the dark circles and discoloration hidden all day which is what i really like. The one thing i dont like about it is its really thick and when i put it on my eyelids, they feel heavy and almost gressy.
Benefit's Lemon Aid has become my eyeshadow primer of choice! It not only primes the lids, but the yellow shade brightens and corrects any discoloration like redness. I love to use this after I pluck my brows and to highlight my brow bone (when I don't want a shimmer). My shadows blended easily on top of this primer and lasted all day without creasing. While it says it is one shade for every complexion, it might make lids on darker skin tones look ashy - like you're wearing a shadow that is too light! Benefit always comes out with products designed to make you look better - and more often than not usually do!
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.
I have oily skin, and eyeshadow tends to slide off in no time. This product helps my shadow stay on for hours! I even got some for my mom for Christmas and she is in love with it too! I even use it on days when I'm not wearing eyeshadow because it brightens up my face! Use this! You won't regret it!
