Review - Benefit Erase Paste Brightening Concealer

Hi guys! So today I'm back with another blog post which (as I am sure you can tell from the title) is a review on Benefit's Erase Paste Concealer. I picked up this concealer from Boots for £20.50, which is relatively expensive  for a concealer, but I had not yet found a concealer which I really like from the drugstore so I decided to try a higher - end concealer.


I picked up this concealer in shade number one, as recommended by the Benefit staff at the counter in boots. Concealer for the under-eye circles should be a slightly lighter shade than your skin/foundation so that it will brighten up your under-eyes. The salmon coloured undertones in the concealer cancel out the purple tones in under-eye circles in order to camouflage and correct them which is perfect when you have had a late night (which is very regularly for me!) or just need some extra coverage.


The consistency of the concealer is very creamy and provides very high coverage for the both under-eye circles and blemishes. I only picked this product up about 3 weeks ago, but a little bit definitely goes a long way! As I have slightly dry skin on my face, this product is very hydrating. Although a disadvantage to this formulation is that if it is not set with a powder, it does tend to crease slightly.



To apply the concealer, I take a very small amount from the pot and dot this onto the dark areas of my under-eye circles. I then blend this out with my ring finger and set this with my pressed powder to avoid creasing.


Overall, I really like this product and would definitely reccomend it! I hope this review was helpful and I will be back with a new post on Monday.

Bye for now,
Emily ♥
