Beauty Spotlight: Bobbi Brown Corrector & Concealer

Bobbi Brown Correctors & Concealers

One of my biggest face frustrations is concealing my under-eye area, which is naturally dark and dehydrated. I’ve been through the mill with various types of concealer, most of which weren’t the correct tone or didn’t provide enough coverage. And all of them creased in the fine lines around my eyes (ageing can be such a bitch!).

It’s footage of Joan Collins being interviewed by Michael Parkinson while she puts on her make-up and the look is pure 1980’s glamour: gold-and-purple eyeshadow, dark brows, glossy pinky-red lips and a big, fat, stripy line of blusher down her cheeks. Despite the dated make-up, she has plenty of sensible things to say on the subject and seems like a total pro. Enjoy!
