Purple Circles Under the Eyes? Try a Corrector

Saturday March 8, 2008
For women suffering from dark circles under their eyes, a simple concealer isn't going to work alone. I've seen great results from Bobbi Brown's correctors, which provide extra coverage and are formulated to be used under concealer. They come in Bisque shade, which is ideal for most skin tones, and Peach, which is best for olive and dark skin tones.

To apply, simply pat in corrector with the pad of your middle finger. Apply below the eyes and along the nose if you have ruddiness there as well. You'll love the results. I love that there are only two shades, making this an easy product to color match and therefore easy to buy online without having to traipse into a store to test. Buy it online for $22.

Bobbi Brown has 6 shades of corrector, light bisque, bisque, dark bisque, light peach, peach and dark peach. The best way to apply corrector and concealer is with a concealer brush so you can get really close to the lash line and around the eye which is difficult to do with your finger.
Happy Correcting! Betsy (freelance artist for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics)
