Hello Everyone! This is a product rave of Giorgio Armani's Master Corrector (particularly #2 in the shade Orange).
The video covers basically every aspect of the product, but for those who want to read a quick summary, I have provided the following information.

The website speaks of their master corrector product as a, "Corrective concealer in four color-balancing shades designed to target specific complexion concerns. Exclusive micro-fil technology allows for targeted correction, visibly concealing imperfections while light-reflecting pearls impart a halo of light imparting a seamless, flawless facial canvas."
I use the corrector in the shade Orange #2. Although the color is not a true orange, it is perfect for immediately neutralizing any blue, purple, and brown tones that may occur under the eye area (although it can be used anywhere on the face).
Unlike most color correctors, this corrector doesn't leave an offensive tint after use. Instead it effectively neutralizes the color and then blends in with the skin tone perfectly.
$36.00 US
The staying power of this corrector is truly exceptional. Of course, you could dust a small amount of your favorite powder to set, but this stage is not necessary to increase the length of wear or to set the product from smudging and migrating all over the face.
These are truly professional quality, perfect for those who need small to medium correction of skin tone issues.
The only drawback is the poor packaging, the expensive corrector spills into the cap a bit and it runs the risk of wasting some of the product.
The light texture makes it perfect for blending as well as minimizing the potential for creasing.
I have noticed that you don't really need a skin toned concealer to hide the orange...but it is a good precaution to take only if you have a concealer that you really like...otherwise you can definitely pull off just applying the corrector onto bare skin.
The best ways to apply this:
This will always be applied directly to the face with the included wand. However, for the sake of blending, you may use one of the four following methods.
1 ) I always use my finger despite the fact that I generally prefer brushes, but for some reason the finger is particularly suited to this corrector.
2) You could certainly use a small fluffy brush or a variety of appropriate brushes.
3) I have heard from others feedback that the Beauty Blender is their tool of choice.
4) Finally, you could definitely use a cosmetic sponge wedge to apply.
Indeed, some may think that color correction is just one step too many for a daily routine, but it certainly makes a big difference. Unlike other correctors, I think you can easily add this in about 30-40 seconds per eye.
The Giorgio Armani Master Corrector, on MakeupAlley.com is one of the highest rated cosmetic items: 4.9 out of 5 with 100% of respondents saying they would repurchase.
Thank you so much for watching! I was very excited to share my experience and review of this product. I have truly found a gem!
Sincerely Yours,
Michael

**Oh, and by the way. I bought this corrector myself. It is so annoying to have to include this disclaimer. Not paid, promoted, etc. Lol, I wish Giorgio Armani was paying me to review their products. But nope. :P
I just got this corrector today on accident, was actually looking for bobbi brown concealor. I too was surprised at the rating on makeupalley. LOVE IT!

@seasuzie Use it in the same way that I use it in this video. Apply thin strokes to bare skin and then blend it out into the discolorations :D
