2013 is already a week old and I’m still making mistakes writing 2013. hehehe. really, tell me, its happening to you too -right????
I have a very old relationship (albeit illicit) with dark circles. Most of it is to be blamed on late night movies and reading tons and tons of books. Very few classics though!!!
I often use a concealer while going out to make them look tolerable but I always thought I needed something more. well, an 8hr sleep with a quiet mind is out of the question for lots but I do try and remedi-fy them sometimes!
I got the World famous Bobbi Brown gel liner few days back but my oily lids made sure it doesnt work on me. And while returning it, the kind MUA suggested I try this. And I’m glad I did.
BOBBI BROWN Corrector ($23 + tax) : A wakeup call for tired eyes. Corrector is pink- or peach-based to neutralize under-eye darkness and is designed to be used before Creamy Concealer. New and improved formula is long-wearing and brightens dark circles with quick, just-right coverage that’s easy to blend and won’t crease. And since great makeup starts with healthy skin, Corrector is infused with skin conditioners to protect the delicate under-eye area.
Available in 12 shades.
Packaging wise: it is a teeny tiny black round box with Bobbi Brown written on it. It also has a teensy mirror on the inside. Very light weight so great for travelling or stashing in your handbag.
My Experience with the product : Honestly, other than the ditzy makeup looks I do for the blog or parties, I’m usually clean faced. In the entire 2012, I have purchased one foundation MAC and have used it only a few times. But a concealer is something I really need because my under-eyes look hideous. For sure!! I have used this for about 2 weeks now and I must say I really like this guy. This is really creamy and you need a very little amount to dab under the eyes.
you need to dab a little from the inner corner of the eye to almost the end. Like shown below. I mostly use my ring finger but even brushes are great. I then dab-dab-dab to make it sink. I sometimes apply a wee bit of concealer on top but for this review I just used this corrector. Initially I found that I was going overboard with it maybe because it really matches my skin tone, that was making it look ashy but after a couple of times, I kinda got it right. it blends very easily so is not a hassle to work with. Although I found it to be a bit sticky, so I’d suggest you work with one eye at a time.
Other than being a bit expensive, I have no complaints about this product. I see myself using it often. 😀
TIP: moisturize your skin and under eyes well in advance and this product will work like a dream. A dry skin invites cakey application.
P.s : the pictures are not retouched and I’ve not even applied powder to show the real effects. I am NW20 in MAC
nice product bee:) good review as always:) i never tried any Bobbi Brown pdts….:)
Thanks Renji… actually this is my 1st product from Bobbi Brown too. they are so expensive naa
OMG thats like perfect match for u! it looks flawless and doesnt look like you have applied concealer at all..i so want! m def gonna try some darker shades for myself since my dark circles are way too dark!
Thanks Pari.. Even i was so impressed. Thats why decided to splurge. Thanks for the complement though :)) definitely try this.
woww this is like match made in heaven! wish we were this lucky 😛
Sephora india doesn’t have Bobbi Brown?? But yoyve got Bourjois naa . Even that has a grt concealer. I want more Bourjois
Beena, it is awesome and perfect match for your skin….the quantity is very less na…..can i suggest something..try concealers from the Balm..my dark circles are like yours X 10 times..:-P..and since it works fro me, it will be great for you….Have you tried the bobbi brown’s shimmer brick ?? it’s one of my dream buys…:-)
Thanks Prachi 🙂 I havent found BALM in any of the malls for some reason. I want to get their matte wala palette too. Bobbi Brown’s shimmer brick is in my wishlist too. Also DIOR lipgloss. hehehe
Honestly?!!! I was just shocked to see the photos. IMO, if you are using a product to your heart’s content and if it lasts even 5 months, I think it’s value for money!! I wish it were available here. 🙁
Ooh really???/ I hope I shocked you in a good way 🙂 seriously, even I think the same about certain products. Concealers and eyeliners mein I never skimp. I might buy a sasta lipstick 🙂 Thanks for dropping by Nevedita 😀
Wow what a difference, it looks amazing. Love bobbi brown 🙂
Thanks so much Heidi. I like your name 🙂
This really seems to work..Ive never tried using a concealer though.. always scared it will look patchy and not match my skin
Thanks for dropping by Rajvi 🙂 I know finding a concealer is such a task. but I’d suggest you get yourself matched in a store to se what color matches you, then you can buy them online too!
Wow Beens!!! this works… 🙂
