**Question:** Which color corrector works for dark spots?

**Short answer:** Bobbi Brown Waterproof Color Corrector Cream has the best record for dark spots: 24 of 24 shoppers said their dark spots stopped showing through makeup. We could not confirm the exact Amazon listing for the leader, so its button searches Amazon for it, and the best pick sold on Amazon is Bobbi Brown Long-Wearing Color Corrector Stick, which follows closely at 32 of 33. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have dark spots, and all six are at 78% or better, so format and price can help you choose between them.

**What stands out:** Shoppers also used these correctors on dark circles, which come up in 27% of reviews for the Bobbi Brown cream, 46% for the Bobbi Brown stick and 25% for the Huda Beauty one.

The second number in each record is the group size. It runs from 9 shoppers for IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream to 33 for Bobbi Brown Long-Wearing Color Corrector Stick. Group size is already built into the order, so a card's rank reflects both its share and how many shoppers stated a result.

**Will a color corrector fade dark spots?**

No. Makeup covers spots but doesn't fade them, and the records on this page show how well each corrector kept shoppers' dark spots from showing through. A dermatologist is the person to ask about new or changing spots.

**Which of these color correctors are sold on Amazon?**

Bobbi Brown Long-Wearing Color Corrector Stick, L.A. Girl Pro.Conceal Color Corrector and IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream are sold on Amazon by the brand or Amazon itself, and Bobbi Brown Long-Wearing Color Corrector Stick is the best pick sold on Amazon. Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Under Eye Color Corrector is sold there through third-party sellers, so check who the seller is. For Bobbi Brown Waterproof Color Corrector Cream and Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid, we could not confirm the exact Amazon listing, so their buttons search Amazon for them.
