When my beloved Clinique concealer finished and I was just too lazy to go to town and stock up, I found an old Boi-ing I had hidden somewhere. (It was disgusting – it’s at least two years old and the top layer was crust.) Anyways, I cleaned it up and it was as good as new.
Benefit claims that Boi-ing is the “world’s best concealer” and right now I would agree.
Boi-ing is a little drying, so my advice is to warm it with your fingertips so the product is a little more “wet” and to dap it lightly on your skin, rather than rubbing in. I know some have trouble finding the right shade because it only comes in three colors – I use 01 Light, and while it’s a bit too light for me, apply some loose powder (or foundation, pressed powder, whatever you use) and the color will blend in really well.
Now I just don’t know whether to go ahead and buy more Boi-ing or Clinique Derma White – I now have two favorites!

I simply LOVE Boi-ing concealer!
hi there!
always wanted to try this but, my budget is not too high. this is quite expensive for a concealer.
Thanks for your comment, Butters :)
Sophie and Roxygirl, I highly reccommend it! It is a little expensive but you don’t need to use a lot each time, so the product lasts a while.
I’d recommend buying it online – it’s only USD$18 on their website, (don’t know about the shipping costs, though) while I got i for USD$30 here at the shops! :(
And thanks Sophie, good to be back! :D
Girlfriendddddd!!!! :D *hugs* Nice to have you back!!!
Im so intrigued by this – perhaps I should get this for makeup school? Heehee
this sounds pretty good…its too bad about the limited colours..
love benefit and boiing. but SO overpriced!
As a redhead with very pale skin, their Light color is perfect. It covers flawlessy, this is a real good one. The only thing I can think of is that it is quite heavy. If you are covering blemeshes I think it will just make it worse because it’s so thick. But if you only use it for dark eye circles (like me. i got terrible ones!) this is a Godsent!
Stace – yes, so overpriced but I have had the same one for the past 2 years and it’s still not even half way done, so I think it’s quite worth the price!
Juliana – I agree that it could make zits worse, but I haven’t had any problems yet. I had a massive zit once and Boi-ing was the only thing to cover it, and it went away eventually, so I don’t think Boi-ing did any harm. It could be different for others though!
Oh and it covers redness and discoloration extremely well, too!
I only use this, my favourite concealer in the world. I’d highly recommend it too! (:
This is really great, but you gotta circle it a bit to make the product smooth,like you said warm it up. Other than that it’s a great concealer, hope it works for everyone too!
This is really not the best product many people says it to be. It is not a good concealer for cold climates, or you will have to warm it before you apply. If you apply too much, it will look cakey and attract attention to your wrinkles. Coverage is average, pretty good, but only lasts 4 HOURS!! Move onto a different product.
I have to agree that this is drying, that’s why I did say to warm it up beforehand so it goes on a little smoother. I also can imagine it would dry out and look cakey in colder climates, so I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you! :( Have you found a concealer you liked that suited the colder weather?
Boi-nnng (spelled miserably, cause I’m too lazy-pants to go get it right now) is great. I get loads of breakouts. I’m 46. I’m working on it, but they happen. This concealer uses so little, that even on my pizza face it lasts a long time and never looks like I stuck stucco on my face. I blend well and use it over my foundation. It’s right up there with MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer, only it hides zits better, especially if I’ve messed with them. No lectures, I know I’m a terrible person for touching a zit.
Hi there,
is Boi Ing on the pink side or on the yellow side? I’m NC20 and I would use it to cover both dark cyrcles and T-zone blemish or imperfections.
Many thanks =)
Hey Marianna! Boiing is more on the yellow side. At least, the lightest shade, 01 is, which is the one I reviewed. I’m not sure about 02 and 03 but from what I can remember 02 is more to the peach side, like the picture above… so I think it depends what you’d like. :D
Yes, I’m interested in 01 shade! So, do you think it will be suitable for a conbination skin with oily T-zone? Thanks again! ;)
Sure, it’s a really great concealer so it will def cover up pretty much anything. It also dries quite matte, though I would still recommend dusting some loose powder over it to ‘set’ it. However, the formula is really thick (which is why it’s so great for covering) but it can clog pores, especially if you’re concealing zits. :(
