benefit Air Patrol [SPF20/PA+++]

When I was troubled by dark circles, I ended up making an impulsive purchase... For about 3 months after buying it, I found it very useful when applying corrective makeup The application is smooth and velvety, just like applying it with my fingers

The coverage does not last very long The application feels silicone-like, so the product keeps getting on my face and is difficult to manage... And it's also hard to control the amount The lettering on the case keeps peeling off, making it look messy

As a dedicated eye-area concealer, the liquid formula applies relatively smoothly. It's non-sticky and finishes with a soft, powdery touch - but you'll need to apply it generously to the eye area to avoid creasing. The single shade option is limiting, but the slightly yellow-toned color helps brighten dull eye shadows to some degree. The cushiony jelly-like applicator tip is built-in, so no separate tool is needed - though you'll want to wipe off any excess concealer left on the tip after application for the next use.

The coverage is disappointing. If your dark circles fall in the 6-7 range on a 1 (slightly tired) to 10 (about to die after work) scale, this will only cover about 50-60% of it. Layering makes it clump, so going beyond a single layer is not advisable. You'll likely need to lightly apply foundation over it to achieve a more natural, healthy look. When testing this against the Air Patrol and Erase Paste at the store, the former did appear better, but that was likely an optical illusion created by the Benefit associate's skilled application and the store lighting. If coverage is your top priority, a concealer brush and pot concealer combo may be a better option. Brands like Kat Von D, Bobbi Brown, etc. are recommended. At 42,000 won, there may be wiser ways to spend your money.

Be sure to apply a generous layer of moisturizer before using the concealer.
