Pros: Great coverage, not cakey, zaps problem circles, several shades, long lasting.
Cons: Two steps instead of one to conceal but worth it if you have problem circles.
The Bottom Line: If you have severe dark circles, this is a dream product. Used under concealer, it neutralizes shadows and helps conceal. Longwearing and creamy, it's excellent for us raccoons.

| PattyTherre's Full Review: Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Corrector |
I mentioned in my review of Bobbi Brown Professional Concealer that I use Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Corrector first. This is a great concept for those of us who suffer from severe dark circles. It's a concealer booster that truly helps hide problem dark circles.
Packaging
This product comes in the exact same packaging as the concealer. It is a small black plastic compact with a little mirror inside. There is .06 ounce of product in the compact. A tiny amount, but a little goes a long way.
This comes in six Bisque shades and three Peach ones for all skin tones and both types of dark circles. See below for more on that.
My Use
I bought this product although I was skeptical of it. I figured it would be cakey and overkill. It was neither.
The correctors come in two shade ranges; Bisques for red/blue circles and Peaches for purple/tan circles. My shade is Light Peach. I have tan circles.
After priming my skin, I dot on the corrector. It is creamy and easy to apply with no tugging or caking. The product is not intended to be used alone. It would look unnatural that way. Once the corrector is applied, I use the concealer over it. Good-bye dark circles!
These two products work in perfect concert to zap very hard to hide shadows almost as well as my beloved Dermablend and are lighter and very natural looking.
When I use the Corrector, my concealer, whether it is the Bobbi Brown one or any other, lasts longer and covers better.
I can expect to be "covered" for five or six hours when I use this product with concealer over it.
This is an amazingly natural looking product when used with concealer yet it neutralizes problem circles so well!
Most women don't need two products but I do. My circles are as stubborn as I am and that's saying a lot.
The only problem I have is that the concealer and corrector come in identical compacts and I have to fumble around looking for the right product. A minor inconvenience, however.
This product is a dark circle victim's dream come true. Natural, full coverage that hangs in there for several hours!
Buying Info
This product is available on the Bobbi Brown website and on a few high-end beauty websites. You can buy it wherever Bobbi Brown products are sold offline. The cost is $22.00 but it will last you for many months and is so worth it.
Conclusion
Two steps may seem to be a hassle but not for me. I hate my sickly dark circles yet I also hate cakey obvious concealer.
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Corrector addresses the hardships we dark circle sufferers face and corrects them. Under any concealer, this product is just awesome. Under Bobbi's own concealer, it is a marriage made in heaven.
5 stars. If you suffer from problem circles, give this a try!
