Color Corretors Reviews

Reviews: Color Correctors

Concealer is without a doubt the biggest must-have product to keep in your makeup bag. It covers a multitude of issues from unsightly blemishes and small breakouts to dark circles and beyond. But if you’re dealing with more harsh skincare realities like rosacea, acne scars, dark spots or mild to extreme skin discoloration, a color correcting concealer applied before your foundation and concealer will do the trick!

Lately, color correcting is the beauty trend everyone’s buzzing about, much like Strobing last year! The idea of color correcting (that is, neutralizing facial discolorations by applying contrasting makeup shades over them) isn’t new as makeup artists have been using this technique for decades, but recently it’s made a big-time comeback! The concept is actually based on the color wheel. For example, green is opposite to red on the color wheel, which makes them complementary colors. Complementary colors effectively cancel one another out, so if you dab some green concealer on top of anything red (like rosacea, acne or scars), that redness is immediately neutralized.
Color correctors come in various shades that address specific complexion concerns you may have.

Yellow: Corrects mild redness on all skin types. Also cancels blue or purple tones (from bruises or broken capillaries)

Green: Neutralizes intense redness on all skin types. Perfect for covering rosacea, mild sunburn, acne, dermatitis, birthmarks, ruddy skin and rashes

Purple/Lavender: Cancels dark under-eye circles and brightens dullness (by neutralizing unwanted dull yellow undertones) on light to tan/olive medium skin.

Pink/Salmon: Covers dark under-eye circles and brightens dullness on pale, fair to light skin.

Peach/Apricot: Cancels dark under-eye circles and covers hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne scars or bruises on light to medium skin.

Orange: Cancels dark under-eye circles and covers brown spots, acne scars or (blue) bruises on medium tan to deep skin.

Red: Cancels dark under-eye circles and dark spots on very deep skin.

Blue: Brightens sallowness and hyperpigmentation on fair to light skin. Also cancels out any orange discoloration (like overly orange self-tanner stains)
Until next time stay blessed.
