Questions & Answers for Bobbi Brown Corrector

Question

How do you know what shade to purchase without more info on colo?

I normally use BE in medium and the regular bisque color. I have pink undertones no yellow in my skin but really dark circles. How do I know which shade to choose. Some look pink on line...?

I agree with the other answer, don't base the color you're choosing with your skin tone, it really depends on how dark the circles you're trying to correct. A good example is me, I am Asian with medium skin tone but since I have really dark circles I use the medium to dark bisque (that's how bad my under eye circles are) in which if compared to my actual skin "medium skin tone" is a very dark color. The best way to be color matched is to go to any Boobi Brown counters. Hope this helps.

Your skin tone is not enough to properly answer this question. More important is the color of your dark circles. Are you blue ? Or are you green? Fix blue with pink. Fix green with peach.

I would get light peach, but to be safe peach generally works for all medium tones.

I think light-medium bisque would be good for you.

Question

do i absolutely need the bobbi brown creamy concealer to use with the corrector?

okay, i love makeup, i love everything about makeup...but i can't really afford 54 dollars on the corrector and concealer. i have heard people raving about this duo, but mostly about the corrector and how it's hard to find anything else like it. my question is can i buy the corrector and use a different concealer and still get the same results?

No, you do not need to purchase both! In my opinion the corrector alone makes for a very natural result; no cakey/thick finish.

Yes, you can use the corrector with a different brand concealer, or even on its own! I initally bought the Bobbi Brown corrector AND concealer kit. However, the corrector matched my skin tone and covered great on its own that I didn't even need the concealer!

First, figure out if you really need it. Sephora helped me figure out that my eyes are not that bad, and the simple pen (I like the YSL Touche Eclate) highlights and covers enough to give me enough coverage.... I am not doing a photo shoot). I also tried many other heavy duty concealers, that were one step. The Amazing Cosmetics has a nice but heavier duty concealer. There are many other concealers out there. Seems LM / BB and now Josie Moran (I loved her concealer that is now discontinued) have moved to the yellow + peach combo). Works great for some. Is a heavy duty make up application, not great for those that don't need as much, or want an instant "go to" product. I know some love this, however BB and LM claim this is "THE WAY" to do your under eyes, the only thing that works, and show this on the morning TV shows, U Tube Videos, Make up books, etc. There are other options that may work better for many people for some reason - look around and try different things before you commit to this product (pricey and takes time). BB is not always right.

Do I use it before concealer? An extra step?

Do I use it before concealer or replace the concealer with this? I'm so confused. If use it as an extra step, will the undereye area look too thick?

I use both the corrector and concealer. The corrector is probably enough to cover the darkness, but the concealer helps lighten the eye area. I would try just the corrector first and then add the concealer and powder if you feel like you need more lightness.

If you get the right color, you may not need the concealer. I have the corrector in light bisque, and it covers my dark circles so well that I usually skip the concealer. (I wear sand in the concealer.)

I would say the light peach would work its kind of a mixture between the peach and bisque.

It really depends on the color of your dark circles not really on your skins color! I have olive medium tan complexion but my dark circles are blue/brwon and I use Dark peach. I was really impressed when I tried it, but it was the one for me! It really changed my face!!!

I believe light peach would work very well because I am NC-35 and that shade works perfectly under my eyes!

Question

Consistency?

Hi folks, I tried out this corrector and completely hated it because it was heavy, dry, and chalky, and sat on top on my fine lines in a baaaad way. Since that time I've seen photos of this product where it looks creamy and smooth in the pot, completely unlike the one I had... My question is, was there just something wrong with my corrector (maybe it was old), or what? What consistency is it supposed to have?

I would say you just had a bad one because mine is so creamy and smooth and so is my mothers. Maybe try using your fingers or a damp cosmetic sponge to apply the product under your eyes.

mine is a bit heavy - but it is concealing a lot. To me, the formulation of this corrector isn't really chalky, but rather slightly sticky. Sounds like you might have gotten one that was messed up.

You would need peach. Usually pink undertone is for fair, cool skin color.

Hi! I would use the peach shades as I have yellow undertones and the peach shades are nit that garish as the pink is. I also put some concealor over it because you still get a hint of the peach corrector so you need to cover that.

I was worried about this too. I am pretty pale and I thought that the corrector was going to be waaay to dark. It actually matches my skin tone really well once its on. It doesn't even look like I am wearing concealer it matches so well

These are correctors, not concealers. You apply them only in the areas that they are darkest. The peach/bisque pigments neutralize blue, purple, brown, and green undereye darkness, rather than simply trying to cover the problem with heavy concealer. They will appear a bit different in shade than your normal concealer. :)

What is the best way to apply?

Hi, I was wondering what is the best way to apply this product? I've only tried it once at home and just used my finger to gently pat it in, but I'm not sure if this is best because it didn't seem to make much difference. In the store, an associate applied it on me using a brush (don't know what kind though) and it appeared slightly cakey- but that was probably because I already had some foundation on. What's your opinion on best way to apply this? Thanks!

In my trail and error the best way is using a foundation brush you know the flat ones with a little bit of a round tip and to apply not where the actual dark circle is but where the shadow is. Start on the inside corner and then outside. Either end should be dark and the middle should be the lightest. This way your not piling it on top of your circles so they look cakey. Hopefully you kind of understand and this helps!

I use my ring finger w/ a VERY small amount. If I use more, it cakes/creases. Like the coverage when it's applied sparingly.
