 Eye Bright is right! June 25, 2008
After reading the reviews on Amazon & my previous bad luck with "dark circle" creams, I decided to give this a try. I was a bit hesitant at first considering it is a cosmetic pencil and decided to hold off. A couple weeks later, I made my first ever trip to a Sephora store & it was like Heaven. I literally spent hours in there. I told myself if i come across the Benefit Eye Bright product, then I would give it a try. And I did, and i was pleasently surprised at how well this little pencil could work wonders. I have a problem with dryness under my eyes, so I make sure I moisture well with an eye cream (I use Ole Henriksen "Visual Truth Eye Cream") prior to applying the penicl. All you need is a light stroke on each eye corner and then blend with your finger and viola! It so simple and easy to apply, I am glad I decided to give this a try! :D Next I shall try the Benefit High brown!

Until I tried Eye Bright, I never really bothered with eye makeup. I could never find anything that looked subtle enough. I just wanted something to give my eyes a bit of a pop, that's all.
Eye Bright is really great for those of us who want a no-fuss, quick eye makeup routine. The effect is subtle, yet dramatic... Sounds impossible, right? But the color itself is a very soft, bright pinkish white that probably looks nice on most skin tones. However, the overall brightening effect of the product makes one look amazingly alert even on the earliest of mornings.
Like most Benefit products, this makeup isn't too "makeup"-y. That is, when you wear Eye Bright, you most likely won't receive compliments on your eye makeup, but rather on how well-rested you look.
Highly recommended. This one will stay in my makeup bag for use every morning.
 Ruined the first time I sharpened it March 15, 2008

I was initially very happy with this pencil. The pink tint is soft and creamy, and doesn't pull at your skin when you apply it. I used it with Bare Minerals foundation and it lasted all day, and did an excellent job of covering the circles under my eyes. It also lasted at least three weeks before I had to sharpen it for the first time. But that is where my satisfaction ended. I bought the Benefit Jumbo Sharpener that is recommended for this pencil, but the minute I tried to sharpen it, the wood splintered off, leaving very hard, pointy-sharp pieces on one side of the pencil, that I would never put near my eye. I absolutely could not remove these splintery pieces of wood, even after trying to chip or carve them off with a knife. So, for a few days, I used a little makeup brush to try to dig the pink stuff out of the pencil but I finally gave up and threw the remains of the pencil away. This also ruined the expensive sharpener, which is now all gummed up with the pink concealer and has little chips of wood wedged under the blade. The bottom line is, this is a very expensive product and I expect it to be made with premiun materials, which clearly is not the case. If you do decide to try it, I recommend sharpening it frequently; it may have worked better for me had I not let it get so dull.

This product really works, and it stays on all day. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has black eyes from allergies. Everyone that I work with noticed the difference.
pricey but impressive January 14, 2008

As a very fair skinned girl I've struggled to find a product to minimize my dark under eye circles that was light enough without being white. Eye bright does just that. Extra points for the light formulation - the first that I've found to do the job without looking like spackle.
Benefit is notorious for high prices and I'm taking one star off for that, however, my eye bright has lasted a year and I'll continue to buy it... at least until I find something less expensive that works as well.
