Becca Cosmetics recalls Light Shifter Brightening Concealer

“Out of abundance of caution, Becca Cosmetics is voluntarily recalling all shades of its Light Shifter Brightening Concealer because a brownish-black material identified as a common household mold was found on the sponge-tip applicator of some units. While this is unlikely to cause serious injury there is a potential risk of temporary skin and/or eye allergy and irritation. To date, no adverse reactions or injuries have been reported.

The product was manufactured in the United States and distributed nationwide.”
