I sample tons of product… and many of them have become products I still swear by!
While I am fond of many shadow primers, Benefit Lemon Aid primer is my “go-to” for shadow application prep! Not only does Lemon Aid give eye shadow a longer life and more saturated color, but the yellow shade cancels redness. It also doubles as a killer zit concealer!
Here’s my original full review of this product, posted almost TWO YEARS AGO!
I’m the full-time Mom of two charming sons (one is three years, the other three months). As you could imagine, I’m perpetually tired, and constantly search for any product to help me disguise that fact.
Benefit Cosmetics to the rescue! The adorable little black compact at left contains “lemon aid”, their eyelid correcting cream. The yellow tone of the cream cancels any redness on the lids, and instantly imparts the appearance of a long, refreshing night of sleep. Lemon Aid and caffeine… what a winning combination!
Wearing lemon aid under shadow not only keeps it in place longer, but makes the color appear more vibrant! Bonus off-label use: lemon aid cancels redness anywhere! Use it to help disguise a hideous red zit!
Don’t wear shadow daily? No worries! This product can be used under makeup, or alone!
Retail price for this eye-opener is $20.
