Dark circles and unexpected redness are the bane of my existence. Thanks to the miracle of coloured concealers us beauties are able to cover-up absolutely everything from acne to tattoos.
There are various different shades of concealers which each colour designed to correct a particular issue. These shades range from green, purple, yellow, orange, pink and white. However you'll find that you most likely won't require all of these colour correcting concealers. Keep reading for the 101 on each colour corrector.
Back-to-Basics: Colour Theory
Back in primary school we all learnt about the colour wheel and how mixing two colours together can create or cancel a colour. You'll also remember learning about colour theory in the a previous blog post - Pro Tip: Colour Theory and Choosing the Perfect Eyeshadow.
By looking back at the colour wheel each time you want to colour correct, you'll begin to better understand which combination of colours cancel one another out.
Taking a look at our colour wheel, you'll notice that red is directly across from green. Therefore if you experience redness, you'll be able to cancel it out using a green colour corrector.
Green Colour Corrector
Using a green colour corrector is great for neutralising redness particularly if you have acne scars or currently active acne, and can visibly reduce the appearance of rosacea. Using a redness corrector your skin will have an even toned base for a flawless application.
Orange Colour Corrector
Orange is the perfect colour to use to hide dark circles or spots with deeply coloured discolouration. I've found that using orange to hide dark circles under my eyes works perfectly to colour correct my under eye area.
Purple Colour Corrector
Purple tones are best used to eliminate sallowness and unwanted yellow undertones. If you have a dull, pasty, yellow complexion then using a purple colour corrector will brighten the appearance of your skin.
Yellow Colour Corrector
Yellow's can also be used to hide under eye circles as well as purple or blue bruises. Yellow colour corrector can also be used across the face to even out skin tone for a bright base.
