Maybe it's the lack of sleep or not enough water, but my undereyes have been looking pretty dark.  I love my concealer but figured my eyes could use a little boost, and NYX is one of my go-to brands when it comes to playing with makeup!

I selected NYX 3C Color Correcting Concealer Palette for my undereye woes because of it's affordability and positive past experiences with the brand.  My dark circles aren't too bad but sometimes concealer just isn't enough.  Luckily this product is only $12 so it was a comfortable price point to experiment with.  

The NYX Color Correcting Palette has a nice selection of colors.


Each of the NYX 3C Color Correcting Concealer Palette has a specific purpose:
  • Green reduces redness.
  • Pink neutralizes sallow skin with yellow or greenish hues.  
  • Peach counteracts purple or blue hues such as dark circles.
  • Purple neutralizes yellow or orange hues.
  • Yellow also counteracts purple or blue but for fair complexions.
  • Dark Beige(?) I'm guessing it's the same as peach but for darker skin tones. 

I chose the peach color to help with the purple / blue undereye on my NC37 light medium skin tone.


BEFORE AND AFTER

NYX 3C Color Correcting Palette complemented my concealer nicely.

NYX Color Corrector on Undereye (Peach) and Nasolabial Fold (Green)


Unfortunately my camera didn't do a good job catching the bluish / purple hue of my undereye in the before shot, but trust me the correcting concealer made a huge improvement.  I found that the NYX Color Corrector can be worn on its own or under concealer.  It does a great job blending and evening out the skin without concealer though; which is preferable for me since I tend to not wear much make up at all.  

The formula for the NYX 3C Color Correcting Concealer Palette was a bit waxy so it can feel heavy on the undereye if too much is applied.  Luckily a little goes a long way so I was able to apply it sparingly.  I also was certain to moisturize the area prior to application, because this correcting concealer can feel a little dry on top of thirsty skin.  Another thing to note is that the color is a lot less pigmented than it appears.  I thought the peach tone would be too dark on me, but it was just right.  Something to take note of for those with darker skin tones though.  

I liked how the NYX 3C Color Correcting Concealer didn't really settle into my fine lines.  It also played nicely with my Clé de Peau's Radiant Corrector for Eyes concealer.  Let's give credit where credit is due:  this concealer by itself is amazing.  However, a very small amount of NYX color correcting concealer underneath it certainly kicked it up a notch.  The peach corrector from the palette made my undereye instantly brighter, and the green color made a big difference on the redness around my nose and nasolabial folds.  


FINAL THOUGHTS


I can't imagine ever running out of the NYX 3C Color Correcting Concealer.  I wear so little makeup that it will probably go the full year without having to replace it (the label recommends to use within 12 months of opening).  For just $12, it is certainly a great value!

The only downside is it can feel a little heavy if you don't apply it sparingly.  It can also feel a bit drying if you don't moisturize the area first.  At the end of the day though, it does it's job and does it well; and that's what matters to me!

I would certainly repurchase this product when needed.  I believe this will probably be one of the longest lasting, yet most affordable makeup product in my lineup!
