So I got this because of all the rave reviews and because I've previously purchased stuff belonging to this much applauded brand and I've actually gotten more worth for my money each time :) Such quality products for a fraction of the price u would be expected to pay from other brands. Okay so I used this on the shadows I developed under my eyes due to long nights infront of the computer ,and over that I applied foundation and amazingly the dark shadows were barely visible. I love that it smoothes on quite nicely and has a natural look to it. I'm quite happy with this because I've tried other brands which disappointed me but essence is definitely a brand that proves that good results don't need to cost an arm and a leg !
