Let’s face it—foundation and concealer can do a lot, but sometimes they need a little backup. If you’ve ever tried to cover dark circles that still peek through or redness that keeps coming back after every layer, color correcting might be your missing step.
It sounds more complicated than it is. Think of it like neutralizing a background before painting. You’re not piling on more product—you’re giving your skin a balanced base so everything else blends in better.
Here’s a simple breakdown of how to use color correction and where to apply it for a natural, polished finish.
Green for Redness
If you have redness around your nose, cheeks, or chin—green is your go-to. A light layer of green-toned Color Concealer can help cancel out the flush and keep your base looking even without needing full-coverage foundation.
Tap it gently into the red areas using your fingertip or a soft sponge. Once it’s blended in, apply your regular Concealer or cushion foundation on top and watch the redness disappear without piling on layers.
Peach or Salmon for Dark Circles
Blue or purple under-eyes can make you look more tired than you feel. That’s where peach and salmon tones come in—they help warm up the shadows and make your concealer work more effectively.
Use a small amount of peach-toned Color Concealer just where the darkness is most visible, usually in the inner corners of your under-eye area. Blend it out with a damp Perfect Blender, then layer your regular concealer on top for a bright, refreshed look.
Yellow for Dullness
If your skin is looking a little sallow or uneven—especially around the mouth or in spots where foundation tends to look gray—yellow-toned corrector can help add warmth. This isn’t a step everyone needs every day, but it’s great for refreshing your base without adding too much color.
Use a small dab in dull areas and blend it out before your base. The result is a more even, healthy-looking complexion that doesn’t feel overdone.
Less Is More
The trick with color correcting is to use just enough to cancel out the tones you don’t want—then stop. You’re not trying to fully cover with the corrector itself. Let it do the neutralizing work underneath your foundation or concealer, and keep the layers light.
And always make sure your skin is prepped with gentle hydration first. A fresh face, a little Light Facial Cream, and a color corrector in the right shade can work together to make your makeup look more natural—not more complicated.
