For me, finding a great under eye concealer/corrector, seems to be the hardest task in make up.
I have tried so, so many and to be honest, more often than not, I am disappointed.
I bought the Giorgio Armani Maestro Eraser and Corrector a while ago. I've barely ever seen them blogged about and when I tried them in the store I loved them....I dont anymore- which is disappointing as I ADORE Giorgio Armani make up.
They aren't the worst I have tried but they are definitely the most expensive and due to such a high price point, I do expect perfection.
Lets start with the Master Corrector (£26) the pink bottle on the right. It's called Rose (shade 1).
The application is great as it has a tiny little brush wand that allows you to place the product exactly where you want it.
However the packaging really isn't great as it can leak.
I know pinky/salmony shades are meant to correct the blue/purple colour under your eyes- but this is PINK. Very pink.
The texture is lovely- very blendable, never cakes and sinks into the skin.
My issue is that one would assume the total pinkness would take all the blue out of my under eyes...but it just doesn't...also this is quite a watery consistency so it can spread very easily, which means it is very easy to be left with bright pink smears across my cheeks.
This does lessen the darkness under my eyes- but not that much which is weird because the colour should work...but I feel more the most part it just disappears into the skin.
This might work on slight under eye shadows- but not mine.

| L-R: Maestro Concealer and Master Corrector |
I bought this to place on top of the pink corrector to make it blend more in with my skin tone, brighten and eliminate the pink.
I find this ever so slightly pinked toned anyway (which I dont think is being picked up in the picture)
But I just don't feel this adds any coverage.
It has a very watery texture- which I do like as it is non drying, doesn't sink into lines or pores, can be layered without caking, but I find even after layering, coverage is not built up.
Bottom Line : I don't hate these, but I just wish they added a lot more coverage and actually helped to rid me of my dark circles.
I also find that by the end of the day, these have somewhat worn away so any minor coverage achieved has disappeared.
This was an expensive purchase for me so I am a bit gutted.
The texture is fine, the coverage is not.
I can apply more throughout the day when it has worn off and it wont cake, but still - aint nobody got time for that.
For a great concealer, have a look at my review of the Urban Decay Naked Concealer.
I also bought a new concealer last weekend that is currently rocking my socks- it is one of the best I have ever tried. A review of that will be up soon!
I'm always keen to try new concealers - so if you have any suggestions please leave them below!
