Best Luxury: Chanel Le Correcteur de Chanel Colour Concealer
Why It’s Worth It: Life’s all about the little things, like how all you need is a tiny dot of Chanel’s Le Correcteur de Chanel Colour Concealer to instantly conceal redness, dark circles, you name it. This tube of cream color corrector is available in four shades to address discoloration concerns without giving skin a cakey or ashy finish. Its buildable gel-texture formula sits comfortably on skin for hours on end without creasing, and each tube is filled with soft-focus pigments that give your complexion a slightly blurred, filter-like finish.
Editor Tip: Finding the right shade for your makeup routine can get tricky, so let us break it down for you. The light green shade, Vert, neutralizes the look of redness, while light pink Rose illuminates and brightens dullness. The warmer tones, Abricot and Pêche, are both made for brightening the look of dark circles, but the former is for deeper skin tones while the latter is for lighter tones.
Key Ingredients: Soft-focus pigments, glycerin | Who It’s For: Anyone looking for lightweight, buildable coverage | Finish: Natural | Available Shades: 4

Best Color Corrector for Redness: Smashbox Photo Finish Correct Anti-Redness Primer
Why It’s Worth It: Smashbox’s primers are all worth the hype and are no strangers to accolades, as a few of them (Primerizer+ Super Hydrating and Control Mattifying) have picked up a Best of Beauty Award. However, Correct is stellar for canceling out redness, thanks to its greenish hue and a soothing blend of hyaluronic acid, algae, rose, and mushroom. Plus, algae and mushroom guard your complexion against blue light and pollution. Bhatty considers this green primer a staple for correcting pre-makeup and calls it very effective—we love to hear it.
