## Questions

**Which color corrector covers redness?**

Bobbi Brown Long-Wearing Color Corrector Stick has the best record (24 of 24), followed by IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream (23 of 26) and MAKE UP FOR EVER Step 1 Primer Redness Corrector (22 of 25). Bubble Secret Agent Redness Fix Balm has the weakest record at 5 of 8.

**Should I choose a stick, cream or fluid corrector for redness?**

The list has one product of each kind, so it compares products more than kinds. The stick (Bobbi Brown Long-Wearing Color Corrector Stick) has the best record at 24 of 24, ahead of the cream at 23 of 26, the primer-style corrector at 22 of 25, the fluid at 19 of 24 and the balm at 5 of 8.

**Does a color corrector get rid of redness?**

No. Makeup covers redness but doesn't treat it, and the records here are what shoppers said about how well each corrector covered theirs. See a dermatologist about redness that burns, stings, spreads or doesn't settle.

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

Bobbi Brown Long-Wearing Color Corrector Stick, IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream and Bubble Secret Agent Redness Fix Balm have official Amazon listings, sold by the brand or by Amazon itself, but we link just the first two because the record for Bubble Secret Agent Redness Fix Balm is too thin for us to recommend it. Bobbi Brown Long-Wearing Color Corrector Stick is the best pick sold on Amazon at 24 of 24, and it is also the leader. For MAKE UP FOR EVER Step 1 Primer Redness Corrector and Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid, we could not confirm an Amazon listing.
