My fair ladies! Today I will be sharing with you my first
beauty product review. I happen to be one of those unfortunate women with
unforgiving, dark under eye circles. It doesn’t matter how much sleep I get, I
still look like I have two black eyes. For the past year or so, I have been
using Clinique’s All About Eyes Concealer (04 Medium Petal) and All About Eyes
(an eye cream). I think that these products are great for people with little to
moderate under eye darkness, but I wanted to find a concealer that offered a
bit more coverage.
A couple of weeks ago, I started doing some research in
order to find the perfect concealer. I am a big fan of the technique that Kim
Kardashian’s make-up artist uses in which the under eye concealer serves as a
highlighter as well. So, my goal is to recreate that look that’s also a little
more wearable for everyday use. After reading too many reviews, I was impressed
most with the things I heard about Bobbi Brown’s Creamy Concealer and
Corrector.
After a trip to Belk, I returned home with Bobbi Brown’s
Creamy Concealer (Sand), the Sheer Finish Pressed Powder (Pale Yellow), and the
Corrector (Porcelain Bisque). My entire experience with Bobbi Brown was phenomenal.
First of all, let me say that the Bobbi Brown rep was beyond helpful! Loved
her! The corrector combined with the concealer made an incredible difference.
Not only do they provide full coverage, but it honestly looks like I got an eye
lift. After applying foundation, I use my ring finger to apply and blend the
Corrector under my eyes and on my lids (covering veins). Then I do the same
process with the Creamy Concealer and finish by setting it with the Sheer
Finish Pressed Powder to prevent from creasing.
My under eye circles are very faint with the use of these
products. If I wanted to diminish the remaining under eye darkness, the Bobbi
Brown rep recommended an under eye serum such as Estee Lauder’s Idealist
Refinishing Eye Serum. I cannot say that the use of just these three products completely
recreates the Kim K look, so I will still be searching for other products such
as a highlighter. However, I would absolutely recommend the combination of these
Bobbi Brown products to anyone looking to cover up their raccoon eyes.
What is your favorite concealer/corrector? What highlighters
have you tried and what are your thoughts about them? What other Bobbi Brown
products do you like?
Your fair lady,
