Wet and Wild’s newest concealer product, Color CorRx, takes a whole new approach to the traditional 1 step cover up. Color CorRx contains 3 separate products in one compact. The first product is used to neutralize dark circles, the second is a concealer that goes over it, and the third product is a finishing powder to keep the first 2 products from settling in fine lines. This unique approach to concealing dark bags works wonders and will last the whole day without flaking or wearing off. Bonus: It’s good for our wallets too.
