Most Helpful Positive Review Very good camouflaging tool Erase Paste was the first Benefit concealer I started using, and I still use. I began using it even for blemishes and the work it did on them was quite good, but now I've taken to mixing it with Ooh la lift for the under eye area, at least for those days when I've got more time to do my make up. For my blemishes, of which I've got quite a few due to hormonal reasons and also to stress, I prefer using Boi-ing. It's not half as dense as Erase Paste in texture, but it is very effective as well. My complexion is pretty fair, and I'd like a shade in between 01 and 02, because there are times when both look either too light (01) or a bit dark (02) on my skin. I'm pretty inclined to mixing and combining shades when it comes to makeup, because I believe that a lot of ideal combinations are hidden in those mixtures, and waiting to be found out; therefore, I mix both 01 and 02 and get my ideal concealing shade.
Boi-ing is a very good concealer, both in colour range and also in texture, and I've lately discovered another use for it: it can be an improvised foundation. Since I'm quite an early riser and, sadly, haven't got as much time as I'd like for a thorough but leisurely make up, which is what I really like, because I must leave home soon for work, what I've taken to doing is as follows: first, I apply Boi-ing on my blemishes, mixing shades 01 and 02, which I can also find in two kits (Confessions of a Concealaholic and How to look the best at everything in light); then, I apply some Porefessional on my face for an additional mixture that leaves my face with a lovely aspect: concealed pores, the blemishes don't look half as angry as they did before anymore, and with a subtle, yet visible veil of colour, as if it was an improvised liquid foundation; and last, but not least, I can always use some Hello Flawless powder; therefore, I apply some of that in my choice shade, and I'm quite ready to walk out the door.
Not only do I do this when I'm in a hurry to make it to my work on time and look quite alright, but I also do it when I want to be more at ease and without any hurry, enjoying every step of my make up, and in that case I add a little bit of That Gal, for a luminosity extra.
I quite like Boi-ing, applying it both under and over foundation, I find it very useful and natural and, provided you choose the right shade for you, it is a very good camouflage.
Most Helpful Critical Review Just Not a Good Daily Concealer I was shopping for concealer at a retailer and was initially inquiring between Erase Paste and Fake-Up. The woman assisting me immediately dismissed those two in favor of the Boing and said, for dark circles like mine, I wanted the "better" coverage of Boing. I have very dark circles and I'm always on the hunt for "the one" as concealers go, so I listened and let her try it on me. In the store, it wasn't terrible and I bought it.
Got it home and I've found that it creases horribly and between gradually wiping it off throughout the day to fix creasing and it's innate heaviness, it's just a horrible all-day wear concealer. It doesn't blend well and, after looking at it more in natural light, it looks like it's just sitting on top of my skin under my powder or BB cream and powder. I've noticed my skin also tends to feel a little greasy where I've used it (under eyes, around my nose, blemishes) and not in a creamy way, but just like it's separating after being on my face awhile and all that's left is the grease.
Ultimately, if I could remember where I put the receipt to return it...I would in a HEARTBEAT.

I use it as a concealer under my eyes and on blemishes. It lasts all day. Great concealer.
NOT the same as Erase Paste- dry, dry, dry 2
Jess from Virginia
If you were a fan of the original Erase Paste, this is not it. Erase Paste was creamy and almost had a stickiness to it that covered stuff up like magic without accentuating dry skin or flakiness. This stuff is almost powdery and makes any dryness or flaking look 100x worse. The only thing I like better is the shape of the container- the shallow depth makes it easier to access the product. However, the product itself I hate. Please bring back Erase Paste!!!

Sophia E. from San Francisco
I tried 3 different colors, even mixing them at one point and none of them fit my skin tone (medium with neutral undertones). Also the cream concealer dries one very quickly. Would not buy again.
Best concealer 5
AJ from Michigan
If you're looking for a heavy duty, will cover anything concealer, this is the concealer for you! I am prone to heavy breakouts on my chin and this makeup will cover it all.

great find 5
NanaDJx3 from Morgan Hill
I use concealer around my nose and nose bridge, under eyes a little and a couple of discolorations and my face and for coverage of a scar from squamous cell cancer removal. If I go sleeveless I have a second big scar on my shoulder (usually do not go sleeveless). I had been using concealer there also. So far this concealer blends well with my other products.
Can cling to dry patches 3
Victoria from Indianapolis
I like the formula of this, it's easy to dip a brush in and dab on dark spots or breakouts. It has the tendency to cling to your dry patches, so be sure to moisturize before.
Amazing 5
Yanyan from San Antonio, TX
I don't have dark circles in my under eye area but I do have melasma on my cheeks. This concealer helps diminish the look of it every time. What I dislike is that the formula feels kind of dry to the touch though.
Best Cream Concealer 5
Lee Lee from Dallas, TX
I've been looking for a good cream concealer and a lot of brands I've seen only offer liquid. I was a little hesitant with the shade range but once I tried it on in my local Ulta store I literally had to buy two shades (one for full face and one for my under eyes) because they matched my skin so perfectly! It's not as thick but this concealer still manages to be full coverage and lightweight at the same time. My face literally looks so flawless today. I hope they never stop production for this product because I definitely see myself using this product for years.
Best coverage and so light! 5
Kacie from OhIo
I decided to try a new concealer and I'm so glad I did! This is so light yet gives really nice , soft full coverage.I'm 41 and I can't say enough good things about this coverage on mature skin. It's flawless, I will buy this again, definitely. This is every penny well spent!
Best concealer 5
Joanne from NJ
I have tried so many concealers and by far this one is the best. never cakes and blends into my skin so well and covers everything I need it to cover
Favorite concealer 4
Kattababy from Washington
Lots of coverage and not too cakey when set with powder BUT I think the price went up from when it initially released. Even so, this is my go-to.
I've been buying Boi-ing Cream Concealer for years!! 5
Amy from Cave Creek, AZ
I highly recommend this product as it really covers up uneven skins tones and blemishes. It's very light & creamy, yet covers very well. It isn't waterproof so you'll have to reapply after the pool or beach.
Not for fair skin types! 3
socalbrohoe from La Jolla, CA
Really wanted to love this concealer, but I have very fair, pale skin (that's very oily too) and the lightest shade they make was just too dark/orange for me! Wish they would make another lighter/cooler shade for us fair skin types! Please?!
Great coverage but product too small for the big price 2
Cloudy from Humble
Great coverage! But for such high of a price it's not enough product.
Awful 1
Kate73 from Hong Kong
It is actually cake under my eyes, such a disappointment! Very heavy , don't like the texture, money wasted
Great coverage 5
Latindama from Florida
This concealer is great for covering my under eye bags. I remember getting this concealer years ago when the packaging was different. It really gets the job done at covering because of its thick consistency.
INDUSTRIAL 5
Lexi from Columbus, OH
Had a monster imperfection pop up the day before I had to be in a wedding. Went in and cried, "I need something to cover THIS." She suggested the industrial strength concealer. It lasted the 12+ hours I had the make up on and was easy application for someone who uses makeup like once a year.
Not my fave 2
Puliswifey from El Cajon, CA
I had such high hopes when I tried this concealer. However, it ended up being quite cakey on the skin and doesn't layer well. Another issue I had was the coverage, it just doesn't cover as well as it claims. There are a ton of other benefit products that I like better. This product just isn't it for me.
I would buy again. This is not my first purchase of this pr 5
