Perfecting colour correcting techniques may seem like territory that only the experts venture into, but it can be an important step for flawless makeup application, and it’s so much easier than you think. While it can seem intimidating to use bright vibrant shades on your bare canvas, colour correctors are arguably the most important product you should be using to conceal concerns such as redness, pigmentation and even sun spots.
How I do pick the right shade for me?
Peach - Neutralises the look of dark circles & purple tones
Purple - Counteracts sallowness
Pink - Brightens the appearance of fatigued skin
Yellow – Minimises the look of pigmentation and dark/sun spots
Green – Counteracts redness
Orange - Neutralises the look of dark circles on darker skin tones
Blue - Conceals veins
