Corrective Color Concealer review: my honest take

ReviewCompareRoutineIngredientsTipsFAQs

*As stated by SeneGence.

Corrective Color Concealer is SeneGence’s spot-fix. It comes in 11 skin-tone shades plus two correctors, Green and White. SeneGence describes it as 80% skincare-infused and says it blurs and brightens. It’s the piece that handles what your base didn’t: a red spot by the nose, shadows under the eyes, a blemish you’d rather not discuss.

One skin-tone shade and one Green is all most faces need for everyday cover-ups.

The skin-tone shades share the same names as the Tinted Moisturizer, Fair through Rich, so matching is simple. The two correctors are where it gets useful. Green counters redness. White can brighten or lighten. The trade-off is that correcting takes a little practice: too much Green looks gray, too much White looks chalky. It suits anyone with a few problem areas rather than all-over coverage needs.

At $35 it’s one of the better-value face products in the line, and you use very little. If you only want a soft, sheer brightening under the eyes, EyeLuminator is gentler, though it costs almost twice as much. For spots, redness and shadows, this is the concealer to get. Subscribe & Save takes another 10% off.

Put your base on first, then conceal. You’ll use less concealer because foundation already covers a lot. Correct with Green or White first if you need to, then tap a skin-tone shade over it. Set with a light press of loose powder so it stays put.

What’s in it, in plain words

• 80% skincare-infused: SeneGence’s description of the formula, meaning most of it is made up of skincare ingredients.
• Green corrector: a color-correcting shade used to counter the look of redness before skin-tone concealer.
• White shade: for brightening or lightening another shade, depending on how you use it.
• Blur-and-brighten finish: SeneGence says it blurs and brightens, which helps it look like skin, not a patch.

Corrective Color Concealer FAQs

What shades does Corrective Color Concealer come in?

13 in total: 11 skin tones (Fair, Fair-Light, Light, Golden Beige, Light-Medium, Medium, Caramel Tan, Medium-Deep, Bronze, Deep, Rich), plus Green and White.

What is the green concealer for?

Green is a color corrector for redness. Apply a thin layer where you’re red, then cover with your skin-tone shade or foundation.

Can I use it under my eyes?

Yes. Use a skin-tone shade and tap it in lightly. For a sheer brightening look instead of coverage, try EyeLuminator.

Does concealer go before or after foundation?

After, for most people. Foundation covers a lot on its own, so you’ll use less concealer and it’ll look more natural.

Which shade should I pick?

Match the shade name to your Tinted Moisturizer if you use it, since the names line up. For under-eyes, some people go one shade lighter.
