Advantages: Easy to apply

Disadvantages: It's not cheap!

I first experienced this product as part of the "Realness of Concealness" kit which i purchased last year. It's probably the best product in the kit and I am now a full size version convert.

Lemon Aid is a yellow tinted concealer/eyelid primer/general perker upper with no sparkle or highlighting silliness like Touche Eclat. I use it under my makeup below my eyes to cover up dark cirles, on my eyelids to provide a great base for eyeshadow (foundation and other products go on lovely over the top of it), and in the inner corners of my eyes to brighten them up (who needs that white pencil look when you have this wonder product!).

The best way to apply it is with the concealer brush which costs around £16 in itself but is a great investment and it provides a professional finish - but to be honest it works just as well with fingers. Lemon Aid costs about £15 (like most Benefit products it's not cheap) but the pot lasts a while - I have been known to make it last three months.

I'm pale and this perks up my skin no end and stops me looking pallid, I think for darker skin the Bo-ing concealer in different shades would do the same job. Great product, a real beauty essential.

Summary: Great product
