Depending on how much sleep I have or have not had, I suffer from what I would classify as "moderate" dark circles on a bad day. I have come to the conclusion that there is no wonder product to get rid of dark circles under the eyes, so I have recently turned my efforts to finding the best possible concealer. After reading good things about Bobbi Brown here and on MUA, I decided to try her creamy concealer (with the attached pot of powder) - and, while I was ordering, my attention was drawn to the Corrector which, as an afterthought, I added to my basket. The concealer is fine (though I prefer Lauren Hutton's) - but the Corrector has made a HUGE difference. I bought the light peach - as well as this being correct for my skin tone, I have often read before that salmon-coloured concealers are best for covering dark circles. You are meant to put it on before foundation and concealer. A little goes a long way - it goes on evenly, doesn't make fine lines stand out even more (like some concealers) and, best of all, it's a strong enough pigment and in the right shade to cover those pesky dark circles. I then need less foundation and concealer to get better results than I've ever had ... I can honestly say this is the best product I have ever used to cover my dark circles.
So, until someone comes up with a guaranteed miracle cure for dark circles, this at least offers me a temporary solution. |

i'm not too sure abt dry skin, but i have comb/oily skin and i find that it's quite moist and i would have to wait a while for my eye cream to settle before applying this corrector (i use it along with their "creamy concealer"; if i dont and i was in a hurry, later in the day i'd find that its kinda runny and metls...
so i'm guessing it'll be alright/ good for dry skin... |

Thanks for a great review Graceless_ Lady ^^;;; I'm glad that someone else has discovered how great this Bobbi Brown corrector is. To me it's pure genius...  I love how the pigment is dense enough to cover darkness, even the most darkest of circles found on Indian and Mediterranean skintones. Because the corrector is pink-based, this cancels out the redness/ darkness in the inner hollows of the eyese. It works perfectly well under the yellow-based cream concealer. But make sure you don't mix the two. They are meant to be layered. The corrector makes a big difference to just using a concealer alone (try it just on one eye and with only concealer on the other)... 
This is a *must* product for brides.

Yes, the corrector and concealer can be used by all skin types, but I find particularly for dry skin, it's essential to use an eye cream as a base first, otherwise the product will settle into the lines.

I so agree with you...it helps to make you look rested and really bright even when you've only had a couple of hours sleep!!!  Not that you can always get away with sleep deficit.  |
