The first, Kosas Revealer Extra Bright Concealer, acts as a color corrector to reduce the blue/purple tint under the eyes. It contains hyaluronic acid and caffeine to reduce puffiness and fight against saggy skin. The second product, Kosas Revealer Concealer, further conceals discoloration anywhere on the face. Both concealers are hydrating, creamy, and act as an eye cream, designed to make eyes look better and better over time. Their skin-like finish is best applied using a finger.
