great concealer, unfortunately i got the light shade in a swap and it's just TOO light for me. Would be great for an nc15-nc20. The concealer is nice and creamy and the coverage is great, it's very buildable without looking obvious, think i'll get the medium shade in this.
*edit* turns out this IS my shade, just needed to blend it properly to look right. This covers eye circles amazingly well and is nice as an eye base
I love the name and I love the package, but it just doesn't do the trick! The concealer doesn't blend all that well, and barely covers my dark circles.
I really, really want to like Benefit, because of their oh-so-cute packaging and names, but normally I'm disappointed and Bo-ing is no exception as an average concealer. It has a weird consistancy, kind of gritty, that takes warming up in your hands/fingers to get to any semblance of blendability. I have the lightest shade and it goes on looking too orange but seems to become less so as I tap it in (I suspect it's my bad bathroom lighting, though). But, if I use the amount needed to completely cover my dark circles or red spots, it definitely starts to look fake. It also tends to exacerbate any dry patches and settle into the fine lines around my eyes. I also suspect that something in it is irritating to my skin, since I'm always red the day after I've worn it.

I didn't use this as a concealer, really. I would warm it up with my finger first, then mix a bit with some mousturizer &use it as a foundation/tinted mousturizer. It gave great coverage &a good color match in their lightest shade. It also lasted all day &looked natural &beautiful. Unfortunately, it is much too expensive for what little product they give you, so I will not be repurchasing. continued >>
the color selection is very minimal so the one i got medium was a bit too orangeish for my skintone it covers circles pretty good but doesnt last that long, it doesn't cake up as much as other concealers.
This one is my concealer for the avarage morning. It's easy to apply and it works quite good. Sometimes I add a bit of highlighter on top of it to brighten up the whole area but the fact that I don't need a brush or sponge plus that it takes ony a few seconds makes this one one of my favourites. It could be cheaper but it goes a long way. Plus I'm lucky that the brightest of the three shades works for me (okay, if there are only a few shades the brightest color usually works for me, not much to choose).
I have really dark circles under my eyes and always have. I've tried every concealer out there and this is the only one that gets the job done. Since I've bought it and started wearing it, I've been getting comments that I look better and not so tired anymore.
I really recommend this concealer to anyone who has really bad, dark circle like me cause it truly works.
The only con I have about it is that it creases a bit. I don't know if it's just because of the time of year (very cold) I can't really apply it properly and usually have to hold a blow dryer to the product for a few seconds.
I think this is a very good concealer but it sorta settle in lines under the eyes that i didn't even realize I had until I put it on. Its like I have to decide if I want dark circles to be covered or fine lines? I would probably buy this again but will be on the look out for something better.
I first tried Boi-ing in the Realness of Concealness palette in which it is in colour #2 - a shade that I would have thought would be far too dark for under my eyes as I'm fair. But, not only was the colour a perfect match, but it was the first concealer that I have ever tried that is heavy duty enough to cover my dark shadows but doesn't look or feel dry under my eyes.
In Winter it's too dark to use to on any imperfections on my skin, but with a bit of a tan it's just the right shade.
I have since repurchased the full size compact, which is like a mini version of the Get Even compact, and has a mirror so it's handy for touch ups on the go.
I've since tried Benefit's Erase Paste, which does an even better job, as it illuminates my under eye area, really brightening my eyes.
