i tried elf's correcting concealer and im very dissatisfied with the results. IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. I don't know if i'm applying it the wrong way (if there is what you call a "right way") or the product's just too sheer for me (or for everybody else) I have so much freckles and there would be times when i wanted to achieve a flawless look. help! i dunno what to do..
