 ... feeling. However, I have a couple of issues with it: - first its a very orangey colour which is slightly worrying at first. It does blend in pretty well but a couple of times I have noticed half way through the day that I have an orange smudge somewhere on my face. Ok, partly my fault because of bad application but I never had that problem with lemon-aid. - secondly, lemon-aid was great to wear on its own as it got rid of discolouration and gave a smooth, one-colour finish. I would never use FY Eye on its own. - the sha...more

FY Eye is another product from Benefit that works wonders. You may think that its just another product that you get talked into buying and never use...but that is not the case, well it wasnt for me anyway. I got jumped on by a benefit girl and she sat me down and this was one of the things that she showed me. She used it in conjunction with one of the show offs (shimmer eye shadows). It works as a great base for any eyeshadow and helps the eye shadow last longer. Its a pale paste like substance that smoothes on really easily with a finger. Like the show offs a little goes a very long way. If you have dis-coloured eye lids this is also a good product to even out the ...  Read the complete review

I have always had real problems getting eyeshadow to last more than a few hours, this is especially annoying for me as I like to use a couple of colours at a time for shading. I previously used a Barbara Daly eye primer but found over time that its consistency was too much like a heavy stick concealer and the yellow colour made it impossible to put transparent style shimmers over it. the consistency of Fy..eye is much better, it is almost mousse-like and goes on really well, however it is best to be sparing with it. Also the colour is much closer to that of skin tone. I find that shadows of all textures seem to go over it really well but I like to give it ...  Read the complete review

Benefit F.Y...Eye!: The quest for crease-free eye colour - is this the answer? (610 words)

I am a self-confessed cosmetics junkie, with an overflowing make-up bag, much of which comes from Benefit... this is partly because I like their products and the funky, retro-style packaging and partly because there is very little choice of higher-end beauty products in my local shopping centre. We do actually have a standalone Benefit store though, and I love going in there to browse... however, it's not the busiest store and I think the sales staff have cottoned on to my lack of willpower, so they keep persuading me to try out new products. Benefit F.Y Eye is a nude primer that you apply under your normal eye colour to give you an enhanced surface to apply ...  Read the complete review

Benefit F.Y...Eye!: F Y I.. it didnt work (291 words)

I got this Benefit F Y eye because I needed a primer and I hadn't discovered the Urban Decay primer yet. (UDPP is now my favourite and I wouldn't use anything else). This Benefit eye shadow primer retails at £17.00 for a pot of 7.0 g net wt 0.25 oz. It comes in a glass jar and the colour of the product is like a peachy, apricot colour. So the instructions read to put this on eye lids with fingertips, to stop the lids getting greasy and this would stop eye shadow and liner from smudging, creasing and gathering into the crease of the eye. So I applied this primer with my fingertips as directed, it felt quite creamy and not too heavy on the ...  Read the complete review
