A Complete Guide to Picking and Using Color Correcting Concealers
Pink
Reaching for a pink corrector can instantly revive a tired, lackluster, or sallow complexion. It works beautifully to fade under-eye darkness and shadowy patches across multiple skin tones. Cooler complexions tend to benefit the most from it, and it does a great job of masking greenish veins too. Give this a shot: NYX Color Correcting Liquid Primer in Pink.
Orange
This is among the most widely used shades in the color correcting world, suiting nearly every skin tone and undertone out there. Orange correctors primarily tackle darkness, uneven pigmentation, under-eye circles, and stubborn dark spots. While it performs wonderfully on all complexions, picking the right intensity is key. Deeper skin tones can carry off a true orange, whereas fairer complexions should lean toward a softer peach-orange tone. Try: LA Girl HD Pro Conceal Orange Corrector.
White
Not everyone is familiar with white concealers, but they honestly deserve a spot in every routine. They pull double duty by acting as a highlighter as well. Their main job is covering random blemishes, dark circles, and even age-related spots. You can also blend them into other products to adjust the shade and create a match for your specific skin tone. Ended up with an orange corrector that's too deep? Just mix in a touch of white to whip up a custom blend that works for you. Try: L.A. Girl HD Pro Concealer Highlighter.
Purple
Purple is arguably the most unexpected shade in the color correcting lineup. A lavender corrector works wonders for reviving tired, dull skin. While it won't necessarily conceal blemishes, it creates a smooth, glowing finish that appears healthy and vibrant. It also counteracts yellow undertones and helps create a more uniform skin tone overall.
Green
Sitting directly across from red on the color wheel, green is the go-to for tackling any redness on your face. A green-tinted corrector does an outstanding job of calming irritated areas and minimizing red bumps. Caution is needed with how strong the green pigment is, though. Opt for the palest green shades available, or if you have a deeper green, tone it down by mixing in a white corrector. Additionally, formulas like the LA Girl Pro Conceal HD Green Corrector or YSL Touche Eclat Neutralizer Vert Green should be gently pressed into the skin rather than swiped.
Yellow
A yellow corrector is a top choice when it comes to tackling under-eye darkness. Yellow-based correctors are mostly known for their complexion-brightening powers. They also lend a warm, sunny glow to the skin. On top of that, yellow correctors happen to be an excellent match for Indian skin tones specifically. Try: MUA Yellow Pro-Base Prime and Conceal Concealer.
