I love a good concealer, so when I saw Fergie's new Come Correct Celebrity Concealer ($5) at my local Walgreens last week, I had to get one to try. I've been so impressed with the Fergie line from Wet N Wild- they've truly stepped up their game (see my review of her new palette and blushes) so I had complete confidence that this would be another hit...and I wasn't wrong.
First of all, I had to look up what the heck "come correct" means because in my sleepy CT town, no one is using this term. According to the Urban Dictionary, it means:To come out rightly. To speak or approach someone with respect, and not with undeniable ignorance. To do something the right way the first time to avoid being bitched by another.
1. That bitch better come correct next time if she wanna hang out with me!
2. I would advise you to come correct before you start throwing out facts that are really false.
Ok, so now that I know what it means, haha, let's talk about this concealer. It claims to be a full coverage concealer with a silky-smooth, buildable formula that blends seamlessly into the skin. I can honestly say, this is one of the only drugstore concealers I've tried that is truly full coverage! Many claim to be, but this one actually covers everything.
The formula has a grease-paint type of feel that most closely resembles Bye Bye Undereye by It Cosmetics or Tarte's Maracuja Creaseless Concealer. But the thing I like about this one is that while it is super thick, the formula is a little drier so it doesn't feel quite as greasy after dry-down as the others. Come Correct dries to a powdery satin finish that I think even oily skin types would be ok with.
This comes in three shades: Fair, Golden Medium (yellow undertones) and Medium Beige (peachy pink undertone). Unfortunately, even the darkest shade isn't very dark, so I hope they make more shades in this line. I purchased Fair and I'm really happy with it because it has a peachy pink undertone that's perfect for canceling out dark circles!
Similar to Bye Bye Under Eye, it comes in a squeeze tube that has a tapered tip. You only need a tiny bit of this and it goes really far. In that way, it also reminds me of Amazing Cosmetics Concealer. You can seriously overdo it if you use too much, so you have to just apply a tiny dab and build it up from there if you need to.
Compared to Bye Bye Under Eye, the tube looks a little shorter, but it holds more product...Come Correct is .34oz. while Bye Bye Under Eye is .28, not to mention that Come Correct is $19 cheaper!
Bye Bye Undereye's lightest shade is "Light"- they don't offer a "Fair" option. When I swatched it next to Come Correct "Fair", I found them to be very similar, but the Come Correct version has a little bit more peach in it. This is actually a good thing since peach is opposite blue on the color wheel and hides dark circles better than yellow-based concealers.Left: Bye Bye Under Eye Right: Come Correct Celebrity Concealer |
Texture-wise, the two are very similar also. They both feel super emollient, but Come Correct dries faster and feels powdery once dry, yet it doesn't settle into fine lines or look cakey!

Here's a shot from further away...I blended it down into my cheek area and it covered absolutely everything. |

On the other side of my face, I have even worse freckling/sun damage and Come Correct almost completely covered it as well!

Overall, this is a really impressive concealer, drugstore or otherwise! It's one of the most effective formulas I've ever used that doesn't settle into lines, crease, or cake and it lasts all day long without budging! It's pretty much a spot-on dupe for It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye as well, so I'll add it to my Pinterest dupes board.
Come Correct Celebrity Concealer is a Walgreens exclusive, and out of the 6 Walgreens in my immediate area, only one of them carries it, so it's not an easy find right now. I've heard that this collection was supposed to be in stores in February, so it's possible that it'll be more widespread in the coming weeks. I hope you can find it near you, because this stuff is amazing!
I tried to post a comment, but I'm not sure if it went through, so I apologize if this is a repeat. : )
ReplyDeleteThis is a great review! I was thinking about trying this, bit now I'm definitely going to! Thanks!!!
Thanks! I think you'll love it! :)
DeleteSo excited to try this! I saw it on another beauty blog and she loved it as well. I haven't been able to find a concealer I love and I am hoping this might be it!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you find it! I had to check 6 Walgreens beforw I found it and of course it was in the last one I checked!
DeleteLOL! I didn't know that was even a thing- I guess I need to check Urban dictionary more often! This looks great on you. I have been wanting to try this and now I think I will go out and get it ASAP. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteHahaha I'm not "hip" enough to know what Come Correct means I guess! :) Thanks, I think you'll like it, it's a fab concealer!
DeleteWill these eventually be in other stores? I don't have a walgreens-I want the palettes and this! Does anyone know if I can order them?
ReplyDeleteWow, that coverage is impressive for any concealer, let alone a drugstore brand! I wish this came in more colors (Katherine T.)
ReplyDeleteI don't know what colour to get! wah
ReplyDeleteI think these are being discontinued now. I was at Walgreens today and saw them on clearance for almost half off! So was the Fergie eye primer, lipsticks and highlighters!
ReplyDeleteI bought a tube at Walgreens yesterday. Clearance and inventory can be store by store. Each location carries what sells well at that location. It's based on everything from average income level to the ethnic majority of that store's immediate vicinity, to average age of shoppers.
DeleteI've been using this under my eyes for the past few, and I've found that it creases REALLY badly almost immediately. I've tried setting it with powder, with helps a tiny bit, but it still looks pretty bad. I do have more fine lines than you do, but did you do anything in particular before and after applying it? (Eye creams, setting powder, etc) I want to make it work, as it's so cheap and does cover my dark circles really well!
