color corrector or fair olive concealer?
i think this was made as a green color corrector, but it’s actually also amazing as a concealer for fair olive skin tones (MAC NC12-NC13 range). my only gripe is that fragrance is really unnecessary in a concealer, but oh well.
if you either have fair olive skin or you want a green color corrector, the price and quality of this concealer are hard to beat.
