Conceals and Primes Very Well
I first discovered Benefit's "Lemon-Aid" when I was using their wonderful "Realness of Concealness" kit. I had learned in modeling school that yellow works wonders to disguise red, tiny purple veins, and discoloration in general. The texture is a bit heavier than a product like Too Faced's "Shadow Insurance" or UD's "Primer Potion," but I find it works beautifully. Your eyes appear refreshed with this and the coverage lasts for many hours. I went on to purchase "Lemon-Aid" separately, and a small container lasts a very long time. — 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

This is intended to neutralize redness.
I use it on my eyelids as a primer to give my eye lids a blank slate. this allows the true colors of the shadown to show through because you aren't starting out with reddish lids. Don't have to use it on other parts of my face, and I don't think it was intended for face. You use regular concealer for coverup. — 1 year, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

This really works for what it is intended.
This is a good way to start your eye makeup. The product covers up red eye lids and gives you a good blank canvas to do the rest of your eye makeup. Highly recommend. — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Creasing
The name got my attention when I was looking for a concealer. The base color fit with my skin tone, and it did a fairly good job of covering my blemishes and dark circles under eyes. However, it was not easy to blend it due to their paste like consistency. Also, it was dry so it quickly creased and caked under my eyes. I wish this Lemon Aid were more creamy and moisturizing. — 1 year, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Hard to blend!
This yellow concealer seems to agree with my skin tone, and covers my dark circles pretty good (with a good liquid foundation). But it is very hard to blend the thick paste-like consistency. Also, since it is not very moisturizing, in winter this creases and cakes, and makes under eye area very dry (I don't even have dry skin!). BTW, it does not work effectively with loose powder foundation for my skin. I think this product need some improvements. — 3 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

No-Aid
I used to wear this as a base. If I were to wear this alone, I would look sickly!! Benefit needs to reformulate this product to suit all skin colors!! — 4 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 8 people said helpful

Very necessary
I have been using this everyday for years. Makes your makeup stay on all day. Takes away any discoloration present on eyelids. An absolute must have. One of my favorite products. — 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Amazing!
I am in love with Benefit Lemon-aid. I have really fair skin so any darkness around my eyes stands out like I've got a big shiner. Not anymore with this wonderous yellow concealor. It's ver thick, but creamy, so it's easy to blend and only takes a little to do a really big job. I use it below my eyes and on my lids and instantly it looks like someone Photoshopped away my dark circles and redness. It's pricey, but after using some of the other yellow concealor products on the market, I have to say this one is by far the best. — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

Cute Packaging in Small Mirrored Compact
Found this thick and dry and difficult to blend, a lot of tugging to apply evenly. — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Great product
This stuff is amazing. It completely hides the veins and redness on my eyelids, makes a great eyeshadow base, and the pot lasts forever, so it outweighs the initial steep cost, like most benefit products. I've never had any trouble with blending it and feeling like i'm tugging on my eyelid skin. the only time I haven't made this look completely natural on me was when I had a bout of dry skin on my eyelids and the lemon-aid accented every little flake (obviously). if it feels a little dry to me I just warm it up a little before applying it. this is a must for me, even on "no make-up" days. HG, and will definetly continue to re-purchase. — 4 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
