I bought this brightner about a year ago after reading the reviews, used it to conceal my bluish undereye circles, but ended up not using it for it seemed to give me the reverse recoony eyes. After a continuous search for my HG concealer, I came upon the BB corrector that everybody has been raving about. And I think the corrector is the best one I have tried so far to conceal my dark circles. It does not fully cover my bluish veins, though, but so far the best one.

Anyways, a couple of days ago, I took out the Airwear Brightner and realized that my BB corrector (light bisque) and the brightner are of the exact same color! Well, the corrector is a bit more creamy and thicker, so it hides my circles a bit better, but I think this one can be used like you use the corrector. Just like you use the corrector, you will need to put a concealer over it. Then I guess you could get a similar result. For those of you who think this is too bright for your skin, try a bit of concealer over it. But before putting on the brightener and a concealer, make sure to give enough moisture to the eye areas. Otherwise, they could make your eyes dry and cakey.

I cannot say enough great things about this product! I've been using it for a good 3-4 years now and even though I stray occasionally to high-end brands (e.g. Chantecaille biolift, Cle de Peau, YSL & Chanel) I always, always, always find myself reaching for this product on a daily basis. Why? It perfectly brightens my eye area (hence the prouct name) and veils the moderately dark regions in my inner eye region. All without ever looking cakey or dry on these 40 year-old eyes (NW15/Light brown hair/Green eyes)! Also, the staying power is great! I've been fearful that this product is being discontinued as I have not been able to find it in my local drugstores for some time. Much to my delight, however, I found it in a newly-opened Ulta this past weekend and of course, I purchased the two remaining tubes. This will last me at least another year+. So, if you can still find this product, please do give it a try. It is easily the best d/s makeup product I have ever used.

Love, love, love! This conceals very well, but it goes on dry. The key to using this is that you need to moisturize the area well first before applying this concealer. I find True Match is more moisturizing and blendable, but this covers better if you use it correctly.

I hope L'Oreal doesn't discontinue this product. It is the only concealer I have ever found that is perfect for my ultra-pale skintone. It has really amazing coverage and lasts all day on me. It's my secret weapon.

I love this stuff. You folks who are shelling out a (comparably so) fortune for YSL Touche Eclat or Christian Dior Skinflash (have used both, most recently the Skinflash in #2), this for me is the SAME DANG THING as both of those, with a little heavier consistency, better undereye coverage. I'll be buying this again in lien of the Skinflash, which I also really like. I just save an extra $30 or so.

This pinkish concealer has a nice consistency, but just looks too pink on my PPP skin--even w/ blending, it looked almost like blotches of calamine lotion around my eyes. The regular AirWear concealer isn't bad--nice creamy texture, medium coverage--but the color on this one is off, at least if you have paler skin.

I love to wear this over L'Oreal's Visible Lift Line Minimizing Concealer on the days when I make up my entire face; I also like to wear it alone on the days when all I want to wear is a concealer and some powder. It works very well with my PPP skin and makes the whole area look a little brighter. It doesn't conceal so much as it highlights. I am praying that this does not discontinued.

SO Love this product. Nice moderate, smooth coverage and the perfect shade of pinkish fair for my ppp skin. Best concealer I've ever used, lasts all day and blends beautifully. I am devastated that it is being discontinued and am trying to buy up the last tubes where I can.

I am in love! I use this all around my eyes--under, in the corners, and as an eyeshadow primer--and it makes such a difference, I can't believe it. My skin itself is pale with neutral-to-yellow undertones, but somehow this pale pink brightener does beautiful things to the skin around my eyes, yet blends right in with the rest of my skin.

I'm not much of one for purchasing lots of "extra" items, but some things are just worth it. HG item!

I had to order this from Harmondiscount.com. Not available in Canada. I'm a C3 and this 'pink' concealer is not wearable by itself, but I do like it for toning down my undereye circles under foundation. It doesn't settle into my fine lines (a very good thing!) or melt off under foundation. Stays put all day which is what I want for an under eye concealer. I could probably do with a colour a bit more 'golden', but I'm pretty happy with it. Also works well for lightening the little area between your nose and inner corner of your eyes.

I really like the Airwear Brightener and hate to read that it may be discontinued. I like the coverage (medium), shade (looks pink in tube but blends good) and texture (sorta cream to powdery). I'll have to try it as a eyeshadow base. Will repurchase it if I can still find it!

Quite impressed by it...I think this works like YSL's radiant tounch and Dior's skinflash, but with more coverage & MUCH CHEAPER. Due to its higher coverage, I would recommand this on the eye area. Had wanted to repurchase, but it seems to have been discontinued...

I didn't like this for under my eyes as the formula is too drying, but this is probably the best eyelid primer I have ever used!

For the record, I don't have particularly dark shadows around my eyes, combo. skin and am PPP-MMM Asian/golden. This is a good undereye concealer in that it covers up any smidge of darkness, is sheer, doesn't accentuate fine lines or bags, and stays put. The color is rather light and pink-based, so I have to use a light hand and blend well, but it doesn't look unnatural on me, surprisingly. I wish I could use it as a general concealer for blemishes and so on, but oh well, can't have everything, can we? Rather pricey for a DG item, but you get a pretty good amount and only need a few dots for each use. Okay for now. Not an HG just b/c I can't use it everywhere.



ETA: I don't think I'd repurchase this. I've now actually tried some illuminators that just work better and look more natural than this stuff because they're sheerer (Touche Eclat and Dior SkinFlash).

I use this product solely in my undereye area, and it does a great job of "brightening". For reference, I am MAC NC 20. My only complaint is the packaging, since the tube tends to ooze and get gunky. I dab two dots of this under each eye, and blend with my finger.

I absolutely love this product! I primarily use it on my eye lids either on its own or as an eyeshadow primer. It evens out my lids nicely and makes my shadow last all day. This would work great undereye as well for someone whos circles arent as dark as mine as mine require more coverage than this provides...but it is my HG concealer for my lids! Highly recommend!

I just bought the last tube of this in my town :( Anyway, at first I really hated this product, but then I went back and read the reviews and learned it goes OVER my regular concealer. I also found that I can only use it on my lid and browbone, the inside of my eye near my nose and no more than halfway from the inner corner of my undereye, right about under the pupil. It doesn't work on the rest of my face as a highlighter, but the small amount I use as described above makes a difference you would not believe! If I try to use it under my entire eye, it looks terrible. You just have to work with it for a while to figure it out....but I guess this will be my last tube. Darn!

'kay...this deserves 4.5 lippies b/c it's pretty damn amazing! i've seen so many ppl raving about this product and happily enough it has lived up to my expectations. i've got some awful dark circles under my eyes due to lack of sleep and have been putting off getting concealer b/c both foundation and concealer scare me. i'm so happy i was finally able to find this at a local CVS.-->it blends into my skin very nicely and doesn't cake...it covers my undereye circles very well too. AND this stuff *really* does brighten up ur eyes! i'm thinking of going back and stocking up on these since it was so hard for me to find!
