after searching for years for a concealer, wasting money, and gas lol i finally found the product that banishes my herediatary really dark purple cirlces. this concealer is so worth every penny i spent. sure, its a lot, but you get what you pay for. this concealer is so creamy, but not oily, and it lasts all day. i love how it does not settle in my lines, and does not wear off at all! i can smile knowing that its not going to settle into lines and look cakey. its thick, but thats the beauty of this product. this is the most amazing thing i have come across from benefit, i will never ever let myself run out of this stuff! (meaning i will keep buying it)

I am extremely fair skinned, so inevitably, no concealer works for me because they are all too dark or too heavy. This paste is perfect for just around your eyes to brighten. The texture is thin enough so that when applied, your real skin color still shows through, but with just a little "oomph" of brightness.

This concealer covers very well, and I can use it just fine on my eyes. I cannot use it anywhere else on my face - it is too oily for my oily skin.

For years, rude people would come up to me and ask "did you get hit in the eye" or "late night last night-wink-wink-"
Now I look bright eyed and bushy tailed even if it was a rough day at work. And I work at a Jail, therefore it's usually always a rough day. Just a dab will do ya...... a little goes a long way. Pat it on with your ring finger and run.

I'm a make up junkie. But I can't ever find a decent concealer. I have oily skin with dry patches and usually under eye circles because I like my life too much to sleep properly! This solved my problems. It covers blemishes and can be used to blend away red patches, and camouflages dark circles without settling or being greasy. It's by far the best concealer on the market! And I've tried them all. A little erase paste and Benefit Cosmetics Some Kind-A Gorgeous and my skin looks amazing, even better than the bare minerals ever was! Thanks to the lovely employee at Sephora who recommended it by saying that she wished she could start every day by jumping in a vat of it. (PS she also said it is awesome for covering spider veins on legs. But luckily I'm to you to have to cross that bridge yet!)

I was disappointed in how light the fair shade is for this product. I am fair skinned and it does not cover my dark circles. It actually makes them look worse. A lot of money for something that did not work for me.

After reading the positive reviews for this concealer, I decided to chance it and buy it. I have melasma spots on my face and need a concealer that doesn't settle into laugh lines and wrinkles. This product unfortunately does NOT do it for me. It doesn't blend in too easily with my foundation and comes off easily. I wear a makeup primer before I put on foundation and concealer, so most of the concealers that I have tried stay on for at least a few hours. Not this erase paste. It is smudged off (not that I intentionally do this, but with the natural things that happen like holding a cell phone to your ear, hugging someone, putting on a shirt, etc.) within the hour! I can buy me a simple drug store concealer that cost much less for $6-$11 and it would do a better job of staying on me. So I am still searching for an excellent and well-priced concealer.

this is a must-have in any girl's makeup bag. gets rid of those crazy bags and shadows under you eyes. just be careful though bc if you wear it alone, i've noticed that you can see the crease of the paste once it starts to get warm or if you've worn it for a while. remember to put some powder over it. and then layer again with just a dab of the paste.

I have Hyper pigmentation from menopause and this product does work to cover . Covers evenly,A little goes a long way and smooth and not drying , Pink tone to cancel out ruddy tone on skin. I use this product on my face more than under my eye because it just works better on the face than in the eye area. As far as value goes : I believe that it is a bit pricey for the size BUT considering the amount needed , I had mine for almost 10 months.The 4 stars instead of 5 is only because I didn't like the way it worked around my eye but did like the way it worked on my face. Would I purchase again ? More than Likely.

I purchased the Erase Paste and the Powderflage, because I had read many rave reviews on this combo, and watched a lot of YouTube videos where the girls swore by these two products.

I am disappointed in both, really. The Erase Paste is okay, but to me isn't really any better than a cheaper concealer like Neutrogena. I have somewhat fair skin, so I got the Fair in the Erase Paste. I kind of think it's a little too light, but the Medium looks like it will be too dark for me. I will say that this concealer goes on smoothly. The best way to apply it is to put a dab (a little does go a long way) onto the top of your hand, so it can warm up a little bit before you apply it. Then just take your ring finger and dab into what's on your hand, and apply it to your eye area with a patting motion until it's blended in. It blends very well, and has a nice creamy consistency. It works great if you don't have any dark areas you are trying to cover. I don't really have terrible dark circles or anything; I just have a small spot toward the inner corner of each eye that I like to try to hide or make less noticeable. I also use concealer just to even up my undereye area to match my makeup, because I never ever put foundation under my eyes.

So while it does work great if you aren't trying to hide imperfections, it's not for me since I have a small darkish area I'd like to camouflage. I have tried the Erase Paste in combination with the Powderflage and without, and it doesn't seem to help much either way for me.

I wouldn't purchase this again; there are better (and sometimes even cheaper) concealers out there that work better for me. I'm just a makeup junkie, and had read so many rave reviews that I wanted to try this product. I'm pretty disappointed in this one.
