“A color-correcting cream boosted with SPF 35 by Bobbi Brown takes a three-step approach to evening out skin, with pigments that correct sallowness, redness and dullness; light diffusers that blur imperfections and illuminate skin; and brightening botanicals that even out skin over time. An addition of SPF 35 keeps you protected from harmful UVA/UVB rays and prevents future signs of dark spots.”

There are three shades to choose from: Pale Nude, Warm Nude and  Golden Nude
