Darker skin tones will have to learn how to use this
rating: 4
I must say I was weary when someone told me to buy this product because im really dark(African American). But I bought it and to tell you the truth it works and let me tell you why. Darker Ladies use it as a base and nothing else I wouldn't use it as eyeshadow per say just a base to wear those eye shadows colors that you want to pop and and to high light the brow bone. If you want something for darker skin tones that is going to the the same effect as lemon aid I suggest M.A.C.'s concealer in a pot or tube in NW-40 trough 50.

Lemon-aid vs. Paintpots
rating: 2
I used Lemon-aid for about a year and at first I really liked it. Then I started to notice that by the end of an eight hour work day my eyeshadow would become one solid wash/color even through I had used three different shades to create a smokey eye in the morning. I think that the oils from my eyelids absorbed the eyeshadow. I switched to MAC paintpot in Soft Ochre which is a similar color to lemonaid (Yellow beige). MAC paintpots also come in a variety of colors from pink, black, blue, and gold. I find that the paintpots work a lot better for me and my eyeshadow stays put for the entire day.

A beauty investment!
rating: 5
Benefit Cosmetics Lemon-Aid is a wonder of a long-lasting product to use as a primer on eyelids before you apply your usual cosmetics.
Why use it? It seems to brighten your eyes and smooth your lids, effectively hiding any hint of irritation or discoloration. You might think that it is an unnecessary step, but I promise you that it will give you an ultra-polished finish that your shadow alone can't offer.
If you are looking for a new way to add some zip to your daily cosmetics routine, give Benefit Cosmetics Lemon-Aid a try.

My new best friend
rating: 5
I love my lemon-aid! I have very fair skin so my under-eye circles can look quite pronounced, and I have searched high and low for a product to help hide them. The yellow of the lemon-aid helps counter balance the blue of my under eye circles and the texture is substantial enough to last. The product is thick, but I don't need much of it. All I do is very lightly sweep my finger over the surface of the make-up and that gives me enough to do the job. I also use it on my lids, and it gives me a bright-eyed wide awake look.

Love Lemon Aid
rating: 5
Before trying Lemon Aid I didn't even know what an eye brightener was...now I'm hooked. I'm 30 now and this tends to brighten my entire face up (even though I only use it around my eyes) -- I love how youthful it makes my eyes look and this is one of the products that I'm sure I will use forever.
