Review of Boi-ing by Benefit Cosmetics

So, even though I'm only 24, I have a problem with dark circles under my eyes. And when I was younger, and I had an issue with my left eye, so the lid is discolored. (It's not deformed or anything. Just slightly darker than the rest of my skin.) And when I'm doing my makeup, this drives me NUTS...until now.

I've spent tons of money and time trying to find something to cover up the circles. And I have found it. Boi-ing by Benefit Cosmetics. They call it their "industrial strength concealer," and man were they right!


after
This little concealer is 0.1 ounces. This may seem like a very small amount, but a little goes a loooong way. It comes in a small black pot, that flips open similar to an eye shadow pot. The concealer is very creamy to the touch, but once applied, it dries to a soft, silky powder.

It is best applied with a concealer brush, and not your fingers or eye shadow wand. (Note: if applying under your eyes, don't apply all the way to the lash line. If you do, it will make your skin look unnatural and cakey.)

I think this product is simply fab. It covers up the dark circles and the darkened eyelid. It also makes a great concealer for breakouts and rosacea. 

The only downfall is that it is only available in 3 shades. The lightest shade was perfect for me, but if you're not an albino like me,  you are out of luck. Even the "dark" shade is for someone who has a slight tan.

Overall, I give this product a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
