I found this absolutely wonderful product while searching for a decent eye cream. I ordered and am "so" happy with "EYECON" by Benefit. Another consumer suggested trying Eye Bright along with Eyecon & the results are amazing. I have "very" fair skin. Not only does Eyebright completely cover the dark spots under my eyes from age & sleep deprivation :O but it lasts "all day" and is so light that you don't even know it's there! I abhor under-eye concealers as they put emphasis on the growing lines under and around my eyes. This product is a must-have and a keeper. Benefit has erased years off my eyes and I'm thrilled :)

After reading the other reviews (and noting that most were written by people with light or pale skin), I had to write to let others know that I have olive skin tones and I love this product! I have always fought dark undereye circles. I saw this product while searching the web about the makeup artisit, Carmindy (who recommends using this), and decided to look into it. I just recently bought the Eye Bright and absolutely love it. You do have to blend, but it comes across very natural without looking too light. I recommend this product highly. I never write reviews, but I had to let those interested know that it really does work, AND it works on darker skin tones too, like mine.

I have never been a fan of makeup or heavily made up looks, but I discovered Benetint about 6 year. Since then I have been a huge fan of Benefit cosmetics. My makeup regime usually includes a little cover up to cover dark circles, my benetint and maybe some eyeliner if I'm feeling fancy. A year ago I visited the Benefit counter at a local department store the makeup girl recommended Eye Bright to me because of the dark circles under my eyes caused by allergies. At first I was resistant to the idea being as I have previously stated not a huge fan of makeup, but I let her put it on. After looking in the mirror I was sold! My eyes looked bigger and brighter. I hadn't realized how much older and tired the dark circles had made me look until I saw myself with Eye Bright. This is a definite reccomend

I don't have horrendous undereye circles, but this product is the best i've ever found to really brighten up that area and left me looking really refreshed. I also dab it on any little red areas around my nose or mouth and it works great there too.

I love this product. I blend a small amount right under my eyebrows, and on the inside and outside corners of my eyes. This product makes your eyes look naturally beautiful and bright. Don't apply too much though, otherwise you will look like you are straight out of the 80s.
If you blend the product in enough, it adds a lift to your eyes and people won't even be able to tell you are wearing makeup.

I love it!

this stuff stays on all day - and works wonders on the dark patches around my eyes. I have very pale skin, so I find it extremely difficult to find products with performance like this one!!
Thank you Benefit!!!

I was unsure how the eye tint was going to work but I was really surprised at how great it was! Once you learn how to blend the tint right its gives great coverage of those dark circles without creasing during the day like most concealers. Its kinda tricky to blend it right, but once you figure out the right amount its really great!!

I went to the Benefit counter at my local department store. I had no intentions of buying anything, I was just there with a friend. We both ended up getting a make-over (which I usually HATE to do but did it anyway) and when the girl put the eye-bright on, I was shocked! She put it in the corners of my eyes, then along the dark shadows/circles under my eyes. I've been sleep-deprived for about nine months now and this is the first time I didn't look like the walking dead! She did the eye-bright over the dark spots, then used a bit of the bo-ing to go over that and blend it all in. I've always been brand-loyal to another company, but I ended up being a Benefit convert that day. Now I don't go a day without at least a bit of the eye-bright in the corners even when I don't do a full make-up day and I look like I belong in the land of the living! I am so glad I found this product and at the price (others have complained) and the very small amt I use, this is definately a bargain!

I give this as a gift to my girl friends because I feel that I am giving them the gift of a product I cannot live without. I use it around the area of my eyes that is closest to my nose (I don't know what that is called)The effect is amazing!!

I was initially very happy with this pencil. The pink tint is soft and creamy, and doesn't pull at your skin when you apply it. I used it with Bare Minerals foundation and it lasted all day, and did an excellent job of covering the circles under my eyes. It also lasted at least three weeks before I had to sharpen it for the first time. But that is where my satisfaction ended. I bought the Benefit Jumbo Sharpener that is recommended for this pencil, but the minute I tried to sharpen it, the wood splintered off, leaving very hard, pointy-sharp pieces on one side of the pencil, that I would never put near my eye. I absolutely could not remove these splintery pieces of wood, even after trying to chip or carve them off with a knife. So, for a few days, I used a little makeup brush to try to dig the pink stuff out of the pencil but I finally gave up and threw the remains of the pencil away. This also ruined the expensive sharpener, which is now all gummed up with the pink concealer and has little chips of wood wedged under the blade. The bottom line is, this is a very expensive product and I expect it to be made with premiun materials, which clearly is not the case. If you do decide to try it, I recommend sharpening it frequently; it may have worked better for me had I not let it get so dull.
