This is 'ok'. I feel it does illuminate under the eyes, and the design is interesting, with a twist bottom and built in brush, but it also seems like you'll lose a lot of product when it 'runs out' that is just inside yet impossible to get out. It also separates, I guess because I'm not using it enough? I'm not sure if I don't use it daily because I have other concealers I was finishing first or if I feel it's too expensive to use all the time. Covers ok, but so do many cheaper things. Maybe I'll update when I use it next so it's fresher in my mind.

I got the orange tinted shade in 04 as an alternative to YSL Touche Eclat in a corrective color instead of a color meant for concealing. I feel like this is decent when I go for minimal makeup days (or very natural-looking makeup days) but because I have very dark undereye circles it doesn't do much correcting. My Maybelline Fit Me concealer does most of the conealing job. Would not repurchase because I think some drugstore products do the same thing. However the packaging on this is great... feels like a luxury item.

Recently bought this pen, to try as dupe for YSL Touche Eclat. But I think this is much better! I use it as brightener under my eyes, and also as light coverage concealer. And it does both the tricks! I really love this product!

This product is okay. It doesn't really cover that much but it is successful in highlighting especially if you want to do a crease-eyed look. It is quite expensive for me but I know it has good quality so it is reasonable. The only problem I got is whenever I put this around my eye, I got burning sensation that would last for 10 seconds. I hope its dangerous. But I don't plan on buying it again. I'm currently looking for other concealers. This one doesn't suit my skin.

This work's for highlighting, but not covering. I have been using this undereye after applying Benefit Erase Paste, which has been working pretty well together. I used Body Shop Lightening Touch by itself, and it would definitely work for someone who has no visible undereye veins, and only slight bags, but it definitely wouldn't work for my skin.

Biggest complaint: It feels like it burns, which is another reason why I use another concealer first.

Would only buy again if it were on sale

Before you buy this please realize this is not a heavy duty concealer meant to cover dark circles. If you have dark circles from hell, don't buy this. This LIGHTENS and brightens around the eyes or on the face. I only use it on my eyes and its' been a staple of mine for the last couple of years. A lot of concealers cake under my eyes or get flaky, causing them to water or sting but I've never had those issues with this product. If I need more coverage, I use a bit of my Lancome Effacernes over it and it does the trick.
The only con is the applicator. You have to twist the bottom until the product comes up through the brush. If you twist it too much you will end up with too much product on the brush. I prefer putting the product on my ring finger and dabbing it around my eyes.

Its hard to get the product out of the package, I had to shake the pen a few times. But I was really careful, because I have heard that these types of packaging are awful and could make you lose a lot of product. When I put it on, it was very smooth. However, I saw a VERY small change. I use it underneath the eyes, but I still see dark circles. So much for that. I liked the price though, I got it for buy one get one half off. So it was $7. But definitely not a rebuy.

I used this for years, though it's been a while since I repurchased. It's not really a concealer, this is a similar product to Touche Eclat, Skinflash etc etc, more of a brightener for the eye area especially, and I must have tried them all. This is actually one of my favourites in this class of product, at any price. The lightest shade is a good match for my fair skin, the light consistency makes it easy to blend without the powdery residue that some of these give, it covers just as well (or as little) as T.E. It was an absolute must have before most of the products on the market today even existed. I think I stopped buying it simply because I don't often go The Body Shop these days for anything, every company offers this type of product now and so I just pick up whatever I happened to read about the day before or whatever looks new and exciting. I'd absolutely buy it again - if I can remember to;)

The coverage is light, but it does brighten up the area under your eye a bit. The darkness under my eyes is pretty bad though, so I need something with more coverage than this. If your circles aren't that bad, this might work for you, because the look is natural and bright.
I used all the product until it was gone but I won't be repurchasing.
Also, I would feel a burning sensation upon applying this..
