Review: BH Cosmetics 6 Color Concealer and Corrector Palette in Medium

Hi beauties,

So, I've been wanting to get some corrector shades for a while as I had only one in a salmon shade (L'Oreal Studio Secrets Anti-dull primer in medium) and thought that put me in too much of a box, especially as I had come to understand that african women do not suffer from hyperpigmentation and dark circles alone (although those are the most common).

This palette comes in a glittery case with six pans of concealer and corrector. the top three pans have concealers in them while the bottom pans contain correctors. It says on the pack that its net weight is 5.8grams, that is roughly 0.97grams per pan which is not a lot but considering that not much is needed, especially for the correctors, it is pretty decent.





The first three are the concealers and the last three are the correctors



What I think:

I don't really care much for the concealers as I got the palette specifically for the correctors . That being said, from the swatches of the concealers, I don't think they'll do much for anyone looking for a good coverage, especially as they turn up looking a bit ashy even on warmed up skin.

For the correctors, I didn't expect the moon from this product but I am pretty disappointed as it is not as pigmented as I would have expected. Also, like the concealers, it turns up ashy on the skin once applied. Thank God foundation is to be applied over this, if not, sigh!

How I use it:

For those wondering what these weird colors are meant to do;

The salmon/peach shade should correct hyperpigmentation
The green shade should correct redness and
The yellow should correct dark under eye circles

To combat the ashiness a little, I first pack some product on the back of my palm to warm it up a little and then apply wherever needed. I wait for a few seconds to allow it warm up further before applying foundation over it.

I usually use the yellow corrector first under my eyes, leave it to warm up and dry for a few seconds before packing on the salmon/peach corrector over it and then, apply my foundation once this is dry as well. I also use the salmon peach corrector slightly around my mouth to correct the slight darkness there.

Hope this helped someone.

You are beautiful,
Reni
