AMW Reviews: Benefit Lyin' Eyes

A shoutout to my sis Gracie for sending this to me last year for my birthday.  I've been using this several times and it's time for me to give my proper review based on my experience with this.

Benefit Lyin' Eyes is such an attractive product with the right packaging the screams "Buy Me!".

With just a click of this concealing pen, you've got a lightly tinted under-eye color corrector that's swift, fast, and oh-so-sly!  Apply anytime, under or over makeup.

This concealer is suitable for most skin tones.

Pros

• easy application
• easy to take along for touch ups
• easy to blend
• dries pretty quickly
• does not sit in fine lines or wrinkles
• does not cake
• brightens up the under-eye area
• the brush is soft and doesn't scratch

Cons

• if you want more coverage, this is a bit on the light coverage side
• since it has a bit of "shine" that gives out an awake look, be careful in using this as this could enhance the look of your undereye circles
  
• you have to twist a couple of times for the product to come out, too much product may come out which leads to product wastage
• you wouldn't know how much product are left

• not available locally

Overall

If you are looking  for "easy" under-eye concealer applicator or touchup, this is a very convenient product to tote along.  You can also leave it as it is as it isn't too creamy and it finishes off in powder form.

Tips

• since this can "highlight" or make you look like you have 8 hours of sleep, this works well to highlight your nosebridge area too and the corners of the mouth
• I prefer applying this after foundation application
  
• apply the brush pen directly on areas you would want then blend in with your fingers or brush
• on application, do not forget to apply the inner corner of the eyes too
  
• set with a translucent powder
  

Will I repurchase?

If its on sale and available locally, yes.  If I have to pay for hefty shipping?  No, there are a lot more concealers out there.

Where to purchase and how much?
Not available locally, can be purchased on ebay or multiply sites.

For your reference, this costs $13.50 (approx Php621.00) on sale from original price of $18.00 (approx Php828.00) at Benefit website

Benefit's Lyin' Eyes no. 2

  

 A couple of clicks, the product comes out in between

 

Shade 2 is considered medium

I think this goes much better for skin with pink undertone

 

it blends easily and disappears
