12 Best Makeup Primers
Guest's Rating & Review
Fair-skinned ladies will adore Benefit's Lemon-Aid, a creamy eyelid "correcting cream" that's best applied with Benefit's concealer brush. Those with darker skin tones, steer clear as it will appear chalky. The cream glides easily onto eyelids to brighten and even out redness and veininess for a no-eye-makeup effect. Don't be freaked out by the color; once blended, it neutralizes red and blue tones to look like your own skin, only better. And packaging is conveniently small with its own mirror.

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 wi...read moreth 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.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 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.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 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.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful
