Today we are looking at Understanding Colour Correctors
Understanding Colour Correctors how to use them but more importantly, perfecting your concealer technique. Colour correctors can make you feel intimidated especially when staring at multi-coloured concealer palette, In the beauty world you may be constantly told t hat concealer is meant to match your skin tone exactly, so when confronted with a palette of multi coloured colour correctors it’s easy to write off these peculiar-looking colors as face paint. But the truth is that if you master these colour correcting concealer palettes, but using colour correctors will make a big difference to the way your make up looks.
The secret to multicoloured correctors is colour theory. There’s a reason that your under-eye circles or post-pimple redness are always just a little bit visible under your concealer: the blue and red tones inherent in those blemishes shine through your flesh-colored makeup. In order to hide them properly, you need to neutralize whatever colour you’re trying to conceal, not just apply flesh coloured goop concealer on top of it which is where the colored concealers come in.
They normally come in 4 different colours, these are:
Pale green – Green is opposite to red on the colour wheel, which makes them complementary colours. Complementary colours effectively cancel one another out, who it comes to beauty,so if you put some green concealer on top of anything red (like rosacea, acne or scars), that redness is immediately neutralised.
Lavender concealer: – Purple is opposite yellow on the colour wheel, so pale purple concealer is good for concealing anything yellow or cooling down makeup that’s too warm-toned. Sallowness and hyperpigmented spots like acne scars can be effectively evened out with using lavender colour corrector before adding your regular concealer overtop.
Yellow concealer: Yellow is opposite to purple on the colour wheel, which means that dark, violet-toned under eye circles don’t stand a chance. Simply apply under your eyes and blend well with a sponge or concealer brush, then cover with powder in the same tone as your skin. This will lighten the eye area giving a dramatically contoured look,.
Pale pink/salmon concealer: If you have a darker or olive-toned skin, you’ve probably noticed that your under-eye circles aren’t purple or blue; they have a greenish tint, and yellow concealer don’t seem to be working for you. That’s where pink or salmon concealer comes in—red and orange are complementary to green and blue on the colour wheel, so these shades are perfect for neutralizing your dark circles.
