All chic ladies out there, let’s agree to the fact that a good concealer is our secret weapon to looking refreshed. Whether it is about late-night outings or dark spots, our makeup kit helps us hide a number of sins. Without any doubt, among all the benefits of using our favorite concealer, one of the most life-saving and exceptional skills is color correcting.
You might not be aware, but some concealers work against the spots caused by specific skin problems, such as intense reds that come about with acne outbreaks. But when it comes to understanding how one should use different color correctors, it is confusing for many women. Considering the same, I’ve brought you the ultimate guide that will help you know how to apply color-correcting concealers and which shade is best for you. So, keep on reading to learn more.
Color Corrector Concealer – What is It?
We already know that color-correcting concealers are intended to hide skin blemishes such as redness, dark spots, etc. This beauty product deals with problems on the skin, like dark circles, scars, and sunburn. And while some meek skin yellowing can be handled by a foundation and concealer, putting on a color-correcting concealer under the foundation will provide you with the full coverage you want.
Which Color Corrector Shade should you choose?
Deciding on the right color-correcting concealer depends on mainly two things: one is color, and the second is consistency. If your discoloration problem is very intense, you may have to have a thicker formula with an extra deep tone. To balance out any mild to moderate pigmentation, you can get away with using a lightweight formula that isn’t so deeply tinted.
In case you need help deciding which color to go with, check the color wheel. The opposite color on the color wheel will cancel out the hue you want to hide. For example, if you need to cancel out redness, you would use a green concealer, or if you want to hide dark blue circles, you will use orange concealer. And to color correct like an expert, it is a good idea to apply your foundation or colored moisturizer first. This way, you don’t have to use as much color corrector as you mistakenly would on a bare face.
Last but not least, you should know that everyone’s skin problems are a bit different, and it is safe to say that what works for your friend might not work for you.
How to Use a Color-Correcting Concealer?
When applying a color concealer, I always advise remembering that less is more. Once you apply the color corrector needed, press the foundation lightly onto your face and follow up by using your skin-shade concealer with the help of a damp makeup sponge. This way, you can ensure that the color-correcting concealer will remain in place. To steer clear of makeup that appears cakey, you should only apply correcting concealers on the required areas.
