Applying Skin Color Corrector

Identify the Color Corrector You Need

Green Corrector

•  Use a green corrector to neutralize redness.
•   This is ideal for concealing red pimples, rosacea, or areas with excessive red tones.
•  Suppose you have a noticeable red pimple on your chin. In that case, you will use a green corrector to counteract the redness before applying the foundation.

Orange Corrector

•   These shades help cancel out blue or purple undertones.
•   They're excellent for concealing dark under-eye circles or bluish skin discoloration.
•  A peach or orange corrector can counteract the bluish tones if dark circles are under your eyes.

Lilac (Lavender or Purple) Corrector

•  The lilac corrector can neutralize yellow undertones on fair skin.
•   Lilac corrector works well for sallow or dull-looking skin.
•   If you have fair skin with a yellowish tint, a lilac corrector can help balance it.

 

Prep Your Skin

Start with clean, moisturized skin

•   Apply your regular primer or base before using a color corrector.
•   This creates a smooth canvas for the corrector to adhere to.
•   Imagine you're painting a canvas; start with a clean surface and a primer to help the paint adhere better.

Application Techniques

Green Corrector

•   Using a small makeup brush or your fingertip, apply a small amount of green corrector directly onto the areas with redness.
•   If you have redness around your nose, apply the green corrector there.

Orange Corrector

•   Dab a small amount of peach or orange corrector under your eyes or on any other areas with bluish or purple undertones.
•   For under-eye circles, lightly pat the peach or orange corrector to cancel out the blue tones.
•   Also works great as a bear cover-up.

Lilac Corrector

•  Apply lilac corrector to any areas with yellow or sallow undertones.
• If you have a sallow complexion, gently apply the lavender corrector where needed.

Blend

Blend Thoroughly

•   Blend the corrector into the skin using a makeup sponge, brush, or fingertip until it's seamlessly integrated.
•   Imagine you're softly blending the corrector into your skin like an artist smoothing paint on a canvas.

Foundation and Concealer

•   After applying the corrector, proceed with your regular foundation and concealer routine.
•   The corrector will create a balanced base, making your makeup look flawless.
•   Once you neutralize the redness or dark circles, apply your foundation as usual. Use concealer to further perfect the look.

Set with Powder

•   To ensure the corrector stays in place, lightly dust the translucent setting powder over the corrected areas.
•   This step also helps prevent creasing.
•   Imagine setting the corrected areas with a gentle sweep of setting powder.

Color correction can be a game-changer in achieving a flawless, even-toned base for your makeup. Understanding which colors to use and following these steps can effectively address specific skin concerns and create a stunning transformation.
