Have you ever asked yourself  What are colour correctors ?What are colour correctors ?

What are colour correctors ? And how do you use them?

So have you ever wondered, What are colour correctors ? well in today’s blog we are going to tell you and explain how to do this.
Colour correcting concealers are designed to hide skin imperfections like redness, sallowness, and general discoloration.  Most slight skin discoloration issues can be managed by your foundation and concealer, but if you’re seeking perfection, a colour correcting concealer under your foundation and concealer will do the trick.
Choosing the right colour correcting concealer for you comes down to two things: colour and consistency. Make sure you are getting the right consistency and colour for what you are looking to mask. If you have an extreme case of discoloration, you’ll need a heavier product with a more intense colour. To even out mild to moderate discoloration you’ll want a sheerer formula in a softer colour. When confused about what colour to get, refer to a colour wheel. Complementary colours, or opposites on the colour wheel, cancel each other out.
Green corrects extreme redness such as birthmarks, rashes etc. For moderate redness use sheerer formulas.
Yellow corrects pink and milder redness.  Conditions such as rosacea, broken capillaries, sensitivity can be corrected using yellow concealers.
Pink corrects yellow and mild green, brightening overly olive, sallow skin. Very light shades of pink are also great for highlighting.
Orange/Peach corrects blue hues, under eye circles, dark spots caused by aging or sun damage, and brightens deeper skin tones. Orange is great for covering up a blue bruise and  lighter shades of orange such as peach, are better for covering a more mild case of the blues.
Violet/Blue neutralizes yellow and orange tones, it corrects dark spots and hyper-pigmentation and overly orange (think self-tanner) skin.
Once you have  the correct product, keep in mind that less is more.  Start with a little bit of product then if you need more, add little by little. Once you’ve applied the proper colour corrector, press foundation or concealer over the top. This will ensure that the colour correcting concealer has stayed where you put it. Also only use corrector where you need it.
What are colour correctors ? you should now understand what they are and be able to use them.
