It is not drying. I use my finger or a concealer brush and it's fine. I also apply moisterizer underneath

It has never dried my skin out, it is super creamy. It glides on smooth, and doesn't make my face feel tight or anything.

No, it's not drying at all and doesn't pull your skin. It's really creamy and goes on very smooth. A little bit goes a long way.

Definitely not orangey. I have tried other brands like Mac's NW20 and it was totally wrong for me. Benefit's Erase Paste has a pink undertone that works well for fair ladies!

not orangey at all. make sure you get the lightest color and don't use tons. it really looks like it adds light to your face, so for pale skin (i've got it too!) its perfect.

I'm a fair-skinned redhead, and the Fair tone of this concealer is absolutely not orange. It's not cakey, blends really, really well, and gives you that dewy glow (under the eyes, and especially when it hits the tops of the cheekbones!) that can be hard to replictae on us alabaster sisters. It's awesome!

If your under-eye area is dry like mine, it will not look natural, and won't blend easily. When it was put on me at Sephora, it looked completely unnatural, and looked like it was caked on (I also got an allergic reaction :( ). I would recommend using an eye cream, and over time it should hopefully help the concealer blend more easily, without looking orange. Hope this helps :)

Question
Shade?
The "Light" shade for this concealer is described for fair skin tones. However, I have a light skin tone, which is somewhat in between fair and medium. I am not sure which to choose.

Unfortunately it does. I don't know if it does for everyone or if maybe mine has just been sitting on the shelf too long, but it does settle in them pretty bad. However, it does cover up dark circles!

For me it did not settle into fine lines until about 6 months later; I guess it starts to expire. Besides that I thought it helped to firm and of course conceal.

it does not settle into lines if you use just a little and blend by tapping. Also, sometimes it might look overdone in the mirror and is perfect minutes later

Yes, yes, yes! It's a very creamy formula, and it definitely creases. Setting with powder helps some, but then again, powder isn't the greatest thing to pile on around your eyes if you're trying to conceal fine lines. There are many better concealers out there!

Question
Do you set this with powder? Need help applying...
This does a good job at covering my dark circles, but my undereye area stays "wet" looking and smears after a while. I've tried setting this with Mineral Veil and MUFE Hi-Def powder but both looked cakey. Help!

I always use a primer such as the Present or Wei East or Bare Minerals primer. I smooth what is left on my fingers under my eyes and on the lid. I smooth on the concealer then apply foundation. Bare Minerals or Hello Flawless. I think a nice dry foundation and a primer is the trick.

My eye area looks wet as well. I dont normally use powder, but I guess I am going to have to try that. It is a shame, as the concealer itself does a wonderful erasing my circles. Good luck!

Perhaps you are applying too much, a little bit goes a long way with this product but, If your erase paste stays wet then I have the perfect solution for you, POWDERFLAGE! By benefit. It is the perfect setting concealing powder that can be used under the eyes or all over the face, it will smooth and set your erase paste without a doubt.

I have the Erase Paste and like it alot. I am an ED technician and pull 12 hour shifts on my rotations. I used to look really tired but with the paste I don't look that way anymore. I am 44 with crows feet and the paste doesn't cake into my lines. It's also great as a conceler in other areas of the face. I like the fact that you use a little bit and it goes along way.

I find that the erase paste really brightens those dark circles, while the boing covers them, but has a duller finish

You might want to try Eye Hope from Philosophy. This had done a good job at de-puffing and lightening my undereye area. It's not a total miracle, but when I go a day without using it, I can definitely tell. It took about a month to see a difference but it's the best eye cream I've found so far for my puffiness and dark circles. I've tried that tea bag trick a hundred times and it never works for me.

try different undereye moisturizer/concealer combinations and definitely try before you buy. Ibought the peterthomasroth and it doesn't really work well (for $100!). This erase paste is the best concealer I have tried but you have to be careful how you apply it or it will magnify creases. Different products work well on different folks. Sounds like you have several different issues (puffiness etc) Try some tried and true remedies (chilled tea bags work well, keep undereye moisturizer in refrigerator) and if all fails, see a dermatologist. Good luck!

Erase Paste would help with the dark circles and brighten your eyes. I would also suggest an overnight product to use when you sleep to prevent puffyness. Might want to check with one of the Sephora consultants.

I wondered the same thing before purshasing, and it works very well with the BE foundation. I was worried that with the creamy consistency that my foundation would stick to it, but I have had no issues. You may want to dust a little bit of mineral veil on top of the concealer before putting on your foundation if you are really worried about it.

I use BE foundation and mineral veil. I noticed that the skin under my eyes was getting dry, which is what sent me looking for a new under-eye concealer. I think it works well - I use erase paste first, then let it set a bit as I "tap and swirl" my foundation :), finally, I end with mineral veil (I use a smaller brush to set the erase paste with mineral veil).
