e.l.f. Cosmetics Color Correcting Stick, Correct Dark Circles, Deep Skin Tones

I often find it difficult to cover colour correct products when they're orange or red meaning after I have put my foundation on I can still see the red or orange underneath but I find the Elf color correcting stick in deep colour corrects to a reasonable standard and is easily covered by foundation.

As an African-American woman with dark skin, my "faux"stache and dark circles are a bane for me. I'm always on the lookout for color correcting items to hide them, and it's still a search to this day. This has a beautiful shade for deep skin, but it doesn't glide on smooth or blend out evenly. I've used a brush, a sponge and even my finger and it takes a combination of all three to get a semi decent blend that doesn't look cakey or textured. I really wanted to like this but the formula needs improvement.
