Let's learn a bit more.. shall we

Color correcting for makeup is a technique used to address specific skin concerns by using different coloured concealers or correctors to neutralize and balance out discolourations on the skin. The concept is based on the colour wheel, where opposite colors cancel each other out. By applying the appropriate color corrector to the problem areas, you can effectively camouflage imperfections and create a more even complexion before applying foundation and concealer.

Here's a breakdown of commonly used colour correctors and the issues they help to address:

Green Corrector: Green corrects redness, such as acne

scars, rosacea, or general redness around the nose and

cheeks

Peach/Orange Corrector: Peach or orange correctors help

to neutralize dark under-eye circles, especially those with blue

or purple undertones.

Lavender Corrector: Lavender corrects sallowness or

dullness in the skin, creating a brighter, more illuminated

complexion.

Yellow Corrector: Yellow corrects purple or blue tones,

making it suitable for bruises, veins, or dark spots.

Pink Corrector: Pink corrects green/brown hues, ideal for

brightening areas of the face.

To use colour correctors effectively, apply them sparingly to the areas that need correction. It's important not to over-apply, as it can lead to a cakey appearance. After colour correcting, follow up with your regular foundation and concealer routine for a seamless finish.

Color correcting can be a game-changer for achieving a flawless makeup look, especially for those with specific skin concerns. With the right products and techniques, you can customize your makeup routine to address your individual needs

How a Color Corrector Conceals Blue Hues on Your Face! 

Have you ever marvelled at the magic of colour correction and wondered how it works wonders on those pesky blue undertones? Let's dive into the science behind it and discover why a colour corrector is your secret weapon for achieving flawless skin! 

Understanding Color Theory:

At the heart of colour correction lies the principles of colour theory. Colours opposite each other on the colour wheel neutralize one another. In the case of blue hues on the face, the opposite colour on the wheel is orange or peach.

Counteracting Undertones:

Blue hues often manifest as dark circles under the eyes or as sallow patches on the skin. A colour corrector with warm, peachy tones effectively counteracts these cool undertones, balancing out the complexion and creating a more even skin tone. 

Targeted Concealing:

Unlike traditional concealers that may simply mask imperfections, a colour corrector

specifically targets and neutralizes the unwanted hues. By layering a peach or orange-toned corrector over the blue areas, you effectively cancel out the discolouration, allowing your foundation to create a seamless, natural finish.

Enhancing Makeup Performance:

Using a colour corrector as a first step in your makeup routine primes the skin for flawless application. By addressing the underlying blue hues, you create a smooth canvas for foundation, ensuring long-lasting coverage and a radiant complexion.

CONCEAL WITH CONFIDENCE: HOW COLOR CORRECTORS HIDE REDNESS

Who is looking to conceal some redness on their face?

In the world of makeup, colour correctors are like secret weapons, adept at camouflaging imperfections and unveiling a flawless complexion. Among their many talents, one of the most remarkable feats is their ability to conceal redness, a common skin concern for many individuals. Whether it's due to acne, rosacea, or general irritation, redness can be a stubborn adversary. Fortunately, colour correctors come to the rescue, offering a solution that goes beyond mere coverage.

The principle behind using a colour correcting shade is simple yet effective. By applying a slightly green pigment to areas of redness, you're essentially counteracting the unwanted hue. This creates a more even base, allowing your foundation and concealer to work more efficiently in providing seamless coverage.

Application Techniques: Applying colour correctors requires a gentle touch and attention to detail. Start with a small amount of product, focusing on areas of redness such as the cheeks, nose, or chin. Use a light tapping motion with a small ended brush to blend the corrector seamlessly into the skin. Remember, less is often more, so start conservatively and build coverage as needed.

Are you struggling to conceal brown tones on your skin?

Whether it's melasma, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spots, or liver spots, it's time to address them effectively. Don't forget those pesky brown tones under your eyes as well!

Did you know that brown tones on your skin actually indicate an excess of green pigmentation? To effectively colour correct, you need to counteract with a pink-toned product. By using the right colour corrector, you can neutralize those unwanted brown tones and achieve a more balanced complexion.
