Skeptical, but very pleased!

Looking at erase paste, I was so very skeptical that it would blend with my skin tone. I'm a deep tan with yellow/orange undertones, but more yellow. The color I used was the deep, and it surprisingly works very well as a brightening concealer. I sometimes use the get even #2 powder with the erase paste. Just in case, I have the darkest cream foundation compact by Benefit (can't remember the pr...read moreoduct name, but there's a record on the outside of the compact) to use with the other products, in case my skin darkens this summer. So with benefit, I feel very prepared for when my skin color is lighter or darker! The only problem that I had is that if you sweat with the make-up on, it partially melts off your face, looking like you didn't blend it in very well. I did find the product to not so easily blend into the skin, but I used Oil of Olay's foaming moisturizer both before and after applying the erase paste, and it blended quite nicely.

hyped

I stopped by my local sephora during my lunchbreak at work to do some window shopping. I bought this item after enduring a very persistent benefit representative convincing me that this would be a life-changing product. I was very skeptical, especially since your choices of three colors did not even look like it would come close to matching my skin tone (i am asian, with a tan) but succumbed fin...read moreally when she applied the paste under my eyes. I was pretty impressed, under the carefully orchestrated lighting in sephora, it appeared that my dark undereye circles have completely disappeared. it felt thick and warm under my eyes which i almost felt a bit soothing. So i purchased and ran out of the store giddy. But as i glanced at my rearview mirror on my drive back to work, I noticed that I suddenly was sporting a raccoon look with what looked like very noticeable O-rings around my eyes. Shrugged it off, went back to work, then noticed that it looked even worse under the fluorescent corporate lights. I felt a little bit embarrassed to have been walking around like this which led me to return this product, a little bit disheartened. So all in all, the product seemed ok, not quite as wonderful as it was hyped out to be. Maybe if it blended a little bit better without looking too pinkish white, i would have held on to this.

Conceals, brightens,

Erase Paste is quite possibly the best concealer that I have ever used. Boi-ing being the second best. It works amazing under eyes because it really does help to brighten the area. So many concealers will cover the darkness under your eyes, but since they don't brighten the area, you can still see any traces of a late night. Erase Paste blends extremely well and feels moisturizing on your sensitive eye skin.

Conceals and brightens

When I first looked at this concealer, I wasn't sure about its pinky tones... that is until i put it on. This product not only conceals but brightens your skin! And once you blend it in properly, the color doesnt give of any strange undertones at all. Instead, you get full coverage but with a glow that appears as natural as your fresh face, Since I began using this product, I have needed less touc...read moreh ups throughout the day, and I have gone through my foundation supply far less quickly. A little bit of this concealer goes a long way, so this very small jar will last for a long time.

works ok

I think that this product works well as long as you don't put too much on. When I was in the department store, the lady put it on me and it looked good there, but when I got in my car and looked in the mirror: YIKES! So I just pat on a tiny bit and then layer if need be. I mostly use it on my undereye circles and a blemish here and there. The best part I think is that it doesn't dry you out. Blends very well.

Love the idea of this...

and I usually love Benefit. But the shades are just all wrong. None of them would blend into my complextion, which is fair with cool undertones. The light is WAY too light and the middle shade pinky and weird. Erase paste didn't blend well either. So disappointed as most concealers aren't moisturizing enough to really blend in on me and I had high hopes!
