It's review time again. Due to my increasing dark circles, I bought an orange corrector to diminish/hide them. Clinique, NYX, LA Girl, Kryolan and many other brands have orange corrector. I intended to buy the Kryolan one but they have increased the price of the 4 grams pot from 350 INR to 750 INR (I inquired in some stores at New Market). So finally I bought the Miss Claire one. I wasn't too keen on getting it as I know most of the Miss Claire products contain parabens; to my sweet surprise, this didn't.
P.S. - I use this with the Inglot Freedom System Concealer in MW100 for concealing my blemishes.

Review:
The first thing you will notice on opening the pot is that it is too orange but on blending it becomes a light orange more with yellow undertones. Since this has a strong yellow undertone, so it is suitable for Indian skin tone. Girls with dusky skin tone can use this corrector all by itself and a compact powder on top of it for better coverage. The texture of the corrector is smooth and light but is extremely drying around the eyes. Hence, a good eye cream or a moisturizer is a must in the prepping step of our makeup. Coverage wise it is good and pigmentation is just about right. For blending, I believe, nothing beats your fingers and I use my fingers for blending and a damp makeup sponge to get a seamless finish.
Top: Corrector before blending
Bottom: Corrector after blending
Pros:
- Good pigmentation and good coverage
- Doesn't look orange when completely blended
- Affordable
- Good staying power (about 5 hours)
- Paraben free
Cons:
- Not fragrance free
- Extremely drying
- If you rub the product (shouldn't do this though) the texture becomes weird
- It's not hygienic to dig out the product every time from the tub
Final Verdict:
3.5/5. This is my first corrector and I have no reference to compare it to. So for me it fares really well and it is inexpensive. If you are a beginner, you may start your corrector game with this.P.S. - I use this with the Inglot Freedom System Concealer in MW100 for concealing my blemishes.

Thank you Swati. :)
DeleteMiss Claire as an affordable brand has some really nice products although there are some misses too. Do try the Soft Matte Lip Creams; they are truly good!
