A recommended solution for such a scenario comes from Bobbi Brown, who launched a new and victorious concealer this month: the secret lies in both the moisture-rich texture that clings to the skin as if life depends on it, and the selection of 23 shades ensuring precise, neither too close nor too far, blending with the skin.
