Bobbi Brown's two-step under-eye system — Corrector first, Concealer second — is the brand's most beloved pro technique. It neutralizes deep blue-purple darkness that a single concealer can't fix. This guide explains how the two products work together. Bobbi Brown is our affiliate partner.

Why two products

Under-eye shadow has two components: the dark color (blue, purple, brown) and the brightness deficit. Corrector neutralizes the color. Concealer brightens to match the rest of the face. Using one without the other leaves either grayness (concealer alone) or pinkness (corrector alone).

Choosing your Corrector shade

Bisque/Light Bisque for fair skin with cool dark circles, Light to Medium Peach for light-to-medium skin with blue-purple shadow, Medium-to-Dark Peach for medium skin, Dark to Deep Peach for tan-to-deep skin, and Deep/Rich Bisque for the deepest skin tones.

Choosing your Concealer shade

Skin Concealer should be 1 shade lighter than your foundation. Match it to your foundation's undertone (warm, cool, neutral).

Application order

Foundation → Corrector (small dot in the deepest part of the under-eye triangle) → Concealer (over the corrector, blended out) → setting powder if needed. Press, don't rub, to set without disturbing layers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need both Corrector and Concealer?

If your under-eyes have visible blue-purple shadow, yes — Corrector alone reads pink, Concealer alone reads gray. Together they look natural.

What if my under-eyes are minimal?

Concealer alone is fine. Corrector is only needed when there's true dark color to neutralize.

Can I use Corrector on blemishes?

Corrector is formulated for under-eye color correction. For blemishes, use Skin Concealer matched to your foundation.
