How to use purple corrector. When to use which concealer

A perfectly even and at the same time natural complexion tone is one of the most important trends in makeup, which has not lost its relevance for several years. But it happens that the appearance is spoiled by redness, age spots and other skin defects. A high-quality concealer helps to cope with them. We will focus on the rules for using green corrector.

What is green concealer for?

To disguise various aesthetic imperfections in skin tone, you can use the rules of color correction in makeup. According to them, defects of a certain color should be hidden not with foundation, but by choosing a suitable corrector for the face. There are many types of such funds with different purposes. For example, yellow circles under the eyes are easiest to disguise with a lilac concealer, while purple bags under the eyes can be neutralized with a product with a pink or warm yellow undertone.

As for green, it is considered one of the most versatile and sought after because it copes with red spots. With its help you can hide it completely or make it less noticeable:

• . point inflammation;
• . large areas;
• . large areas of irritation due to friction, for example, with a runny nose;
• . traces of an unsuccessful tan.

The owner of any skin type may need this product. With increased oil content, pimples and acne are a common problem that spoils makeup. With dryness, due to high sensitivity, reddish areas often form in the nasolabial triangle, on the cheekbones or the area around the eyes. With the combined type, the so-called T-zone most often suffers: redness can spread to the forehead and wings of the nose.

There are also some restrictions in using green corrector. You should not even try to hide dark circles under your eyes with it, since the intensity of the purple or blue tone characteristic of such imperfections may increase. It is better to disguise dark circles with products of the opposite shade, that is, yellow, orange, pink or neutral beige.

Concealer or corrector?

The corrector, in particular the green one, has a fairly heavy consistency. It creates an elastic, opaque coating that lies on the skin of the face in a dense layer. It is the texture that provides the effect of maximum camouflage; it helps make even large pimples invisible. The corrector can be used independently. It is best suited for spot imperfections and applied to a clean face, before powder or foundation.

Facial concealer masks imperfections in skin color using auxiliary pigments of the opposite shade. It can be liquid or creamy, with a lighter and more transparent texture. This is an ideal option for covering up imperfections over a large area without weighing down your makeup. After application, you get a subtle finish that is invisible even in the area around the eyes. You need to apply concealer on top of the makeup base, this will make it easier to shade the boundaries of the correction area and make the disguise invisible.

What types of green concealers and correctors are there?

Green concealer is available in different formats:

• . liquid- easy to shade, lays down in a thin airy layer, for example, HD Concealer Wand from NYX Professional Makeup can be carefully and quickly distributed with a soft applicator, you get a velvety matte finish that is not noticeable even at the end of the day;
• . cream in a stick or jar - creates a more durable medium-density coating;
• . dense— such a concealer, for example, Concealer Jar from NYX Professional Makeup, is optimal for dense coverage and professional correction of skin defects.

Which option to choose is a matter of preference. If makeup is done in the comfort of your home and you have the opportunity to use a good brush, you can take a thick or creamy product in a jar. For quick correction “on the run,” liquid concealers with applicators are more convenient.

Rules for applying green concealer

To apply concealer, like any cosmetics with a cream or liquid texture, you need a brush with synthetic bristles. With such an applicator it will be easier to take the right amount of product without excess and carefully distribute it over the skin.

Before the green concealer, you need to apply a primer or foundation on your face - they will create a light barrier, thanks to which the corrective product will lie in a more even layer and will not smear. The contours are carefully shaded with a brush or applicator, and the green color is covered with another layer of cream or using powder. Since the concealer has a thin finish, there is no need to worry about the mask effect or microrelief imperfections due to several layers - color transitions and product application boundaries will remain unnoticeable.

If you need to disguise imperfections over a large area, you need to distribute the concealer gradually. Using a brush, you need to pick up a small amount of product and apply it from the edges of the correction area to the center. In general, the movements of the applicator should be directed from top to bottom. This will avoid the undesirable effect when, due to raised hairs on the face, the foundation turns out to be sloppy.

To achieve a more natural finish, you can mix concealer with foundation if the textures of the products are similar or compatible. This way the coating will be invisible and durable, and it will be easier to hide the borders of the green color.

If you need to disguise several imperfections at once, for example, dark circles, redness and isolated pigment spots, you should not use only green corrector. You will need products of different shades. A versatile set can be found in the Color Correcting Palette 304 from NYX Professional Makeup.

Green concealer is a practical cosmetic product that is simple and convenient to use. With its help, you can achieve an even skin tone without defects or irritation.

Hello, dear friends!

Many of us women get lost in cosmetics stores, stopping in front of a counter with a colorful array of boxes and tubes. That's why I've come up with a short series of articles about the secrets of perfect makeup, which will help you navigate the formulas you need. In this article I want to give general information about facial concealers and in detail about concealer and corrector, their types, palette and purpose. And in the next article I’ll tell you in detail about their proper use, so that you can resort to their tangible help for magnificent makeup.

I often hear from women and read in article discussions that modern makeup products are so diverse that you need to be a makeup artist to understand their use. But there are no difficulties for women who want to be beautiful and well-groomed! The good news is that in modern cosmetics stores you can try almost any product. About 20 years ago this could only be a dream!

So, let's explore facial concealers! They are represented by concealers and correctors. Disguise and concealment require acne marks, pimples, uneven pigmentation, red spots and inflammation, rosacea and rosacea, wrinkles and scars, and our other little problems.

Let's see what concealer is for and how it differs from corrector. And although we need both of these concealers to even out skin color and disguise problem areas on the face, there are still differences.

If the concealer has an exclusively opaque coating that matches the skin tone (or a tone lighter), then the principle of the face corrector is color neutralization of uneven skin areas.

What do cosmetic stores offer us and how can we choose what we will need and not end up in the cabinet unnecessarily?

Facial concealers

So, masking agents are called like this:

• Concealer - from English. words conceal - “to hide” or “to cover.”
• Proofreader - from English. words correct – “to correct” (problem areas).

Facial concealer

Concealer is a highly pigmented foundation that has reliable coverage, i.e. it is always opaque, unlike foundation. Even if you have a tube with a liquid pigmented composition in your hands and it seems to you that it is unable to disguise your rosacea network, then cast aside your doubts - it is capable if it is called “concealer” by the manufacturer.

Concealers, like foundation, come in various forms and are matched tone-on-tone to your skin color or a tone lighter:

• Pencil - designed for spot masking of pimples or dark spots after them. A very convenient thing!
• A stick is a thick foundation in the form of a lipstick. Apply this product to a narrow area of ​​the face or pointwise.

Neither a pencil nor a stick will remove circles under the eyes or even out the area of ​​the face that is noticeably affected by rosacea.

• Liquid concealer is the most popular form of concealer. It lies on the skin in a thin layer, but, thanks to the high pigment content, it perfectly masks defects. Available in the form of small tubes with or without an applicator or brush. As a rule, in consistency they resemble a rather liquid foundation, and in terms of coverage they radically exceed it.

The good thing is that it can be applied to large areas and even out areas with uneven skin pigmentation, vitiligo, freckles, a developed network of rosacea and many other problems.

• The cream version is a thick cream in a box. The product is applied either with a special concealer brush or with your fingertip. This option is considered universal because it copes with almost any problem on the face.

Often such compositions (a tone or two lighter than the natural skin color) are used as brighteners and draw attention to advantageous facial features.

Their second ability is to disguise deep facial wrinkles. By filling nasolabial folds with lightening agent, for example, you visually “compare” the darkening inside the wrinkle with the relief of the face. More details about this technique in upcoming articles!

• The compact or loose form of release is a dense foundation powder when compared to a powder base. A very popular type of facial concealer among those women who are accustomed to powder foundation.

How to use concealer

As a rule, the color of the concealer is matched tone-on-tone to the skin color. The best way to apply it is with a concealer brush. Concealer brushes are made of artificial bristles (very thin) and are very dense in structure. Therefore, blending the product with such a brush is very easy. After all, our main task is to make the border between media of different densities invisible.

Just like when using foundation or blush in makeup, we select concealers based on the density of the foundation. For example, if we use foundation, then facial concealers should be of the same type. If we use foundation powder, then we need to choose a dry concealer.

For example, you cannot use liquid concealer under loose or compact powder (in the area of ​​concealment, the powder will “stick” more and it will be noticeable). Likewise, and vice versa, our tricks will be noticeable if we precisely apply powder concealer onto the liquid base. Those. There should be no conflict between different decorative formulas.

Face corrector

Corrective compositions correct facial skin defects by color neutralizing areas of the skin that stand out in color. Some manufacturers call them concealers, which often confuses customers. If you see a box with several colored compact or cream products, then this is a palette of correctors.

To learn how to correctly select the color of a corrector, we need to study the principles of their use. Goethe's color wheel, which makeup artists and stylists use when choosing clothes, will help us. For now, we will only touch on the topic of the face corrector palette (just for now!), which helps to qualitatively even out the complexion.

So, the color wheel includes three primary colors - yellow, blue and red triangles. They are called basic because they cannot be obtained by mixing any colors. Between them are colors that are obtained by mixing adjacent (primary) colors. For example, we get green if we mix blue and yellow, orange - red and yellow, and purple - red and blue.

Colors located opposite each other are called complementary, and their combinations are usually called complementary (contrasting).

Those. combinations of complementary colors make it possible to enhance the contrast between them, and when they are mixed (overlaid on each other), they are transformed into an achromatic gray color. It is this property of complementarity that has found its application in the development of a palette of correctors for the face.

By applying, for example, a layer of green corrector to reddish eye circles, we neutralize their red color. As a result, our under-eye circles do not draw attention to themselves, but highlight the color of our eyes or cheeks. Or we can use the same green corrector to neutralize an inflamed red pimple.

Correctors, like concealers, are available in different types: cream, dry, liquid formulations, pencils and stickers.

Facial corrector palette

Let's look at a palette of correctors with which we can neutralize the color of various “troubles” and contrasting spots on the face.

Most often, the corrector palette is offered in two types – compact (dry correctors) and cream. Choose the one that matches your foundation. If you need spot correction (for pimples or rosacea), then choose a pencil or sticker.

Green corrector

Green is against red. The soft mint shade corrector neutralizes red inflammation - pimples, inflamed area around the eyes, rosacea, small areas of rosacea.

Lilac (lavender) corrector

Lilac or lilac color is against yellow. Neutralizes yellow skin, old (already yellow) bruises, freckles and yellowish areas of the skin. The lilac corrective composition is convenient to use for an uneven tan or to soften a tan that is too strong (“aging” in general).

Blue corrector

Blue is the opposite of orange and brown. Neutralizes brown pigment spots, dark circles under the eyes, rosacea, all kinds of redness, freckles.

If you are concerned about a yellowish complexion, then choose a powdery blue corrective composition. Take a little blue tone with a wide brush and spread it over the entire area of ​​your face before applying foundation powder.

Yellow corrector

Yellow color is against violet (in Goethe’s circle). Neutralizes purple under-eye circles. Also, the yellowish-cold neutralizer is able to cope with violet rosacea veins. In this case, the compatibility of the consistency of the corrector with the foundation is very important.

Orange corrector

Orange versus blue. Accordingly, it masks bruises and blue circles under the eyes, veins on the eyelids. If you want to refresh skin with a grayish tint, then use a powder corrector, which is applied to the entire area of ​​the face.

Pink corrector

Pink is the opposite color of green. A pink corrective product gives the face a youthful appearance and is therefore most often used for grayish skin tones, when the skin has lost its freshness and youth. For this reason, pink concealer is often used in the makeup of mature women. By the way, the pink concealer can be replaced with soft pink blush, which is what professional makeup artists recommend.

How to choose a face concealer

• We choose based on existing problems. Consider this dependence: the smaller the skin defect, the denser the product.
• Thick liquid or cream concealers are not suitable for oily, large-pore skin. They clog pores and become visible, especially color correctors. If you have oily skin, then you first need to apply a mattifying primer, which will imperceptibly fill the pores, and then you can apply a concealer on top.
• For dry skin, on the contrary, choose a cream concealer. As a rule, after moisturizing the skin, the creamy structure of the concealer-corrector perfectly masks everything we want to hide.

We'll be revisiting the different techniques for using facial concealers because they are designed to help us look flawless. Currently, cosmetics manufacturers from all market segments have developed a rich line of concealers and correctors so that we can feel like truly well-groomed women.

Let's not be upset about pimples or burst blood vessels!

I promised to tell you about the use color correctors, today this is what my post will be about.

I have already written about the fact that corrective and tonal products must be used wisely and as carefully as possible. It’s very easy to ruin everything if you apply corrective products ineptly: it won’t do any good, but war paint is guaranteed! So let's figure out how to use correctors correctly and what is it even?

I think many have already seen multi-colored jars and corrector palettes in prof. stores and of course have already tried it on ourselves.

Well, for those who don’t yet know how to achieve the ideal complexion tone, a little about color correctors.

There are different types of correctors: base correctors (applied to the entire face), cream correctors (applied to problem areas of the skin), pencil correctors, etc.

They are all different shades and each color works with a specific problem:

1. Redness of the skin (with rashes, allergies, rosacea, vascular phenomena on the skin) is well hidden by bases and correctors green and yellow-beige.

2. Dark spots are hidden by correctors Pink colour, The pink corrector also copes with dark circles under the eyes (as does the yellow one, by the way).

3. Freckles can be hidden with concealer white.

4. Skin damage: abrasions, bruises, bruises (after all, anything can happen...for example, sports injuries) will be hidden by a concealer orange.

5. Light spots on the skin (for example, vitiligo on tanned skin) will help hide brownish corrector.

6. Can correct yellowness of the skin lilac color corrector.

7. To make your face look great in artificial light, try using a base or foundation with pinkish undertone. If you want to look great in the bright sun, to help bases and foundations in warm tones - yellowish, golden.

8. And of course we all know that in order to hide any areas they need darken foundation or concealer several shades darker than your skin, and if we want underline (highlight)- that's what you need lighten up lighter tone or corrector.

Correctors come in different densities, so choose the ones that are closest to you. If skin defects are very noticeable, choose dense correctors. If less noticeable, choose tinted bases.

How to use the corrector?

The main rule is good shading! They can be applied either with your fingers or with special brushes. However, this is not important.

You can apply the corrector under foundation or powder, although many makeup artists use correctors on foundation. Personally, the following sequence of actions is more familiar to me:

1. moisturizer

2. base or corrector

3. foundation

4. concealer

5. mattifying powder

But this is only if the skin really has defects! If they are not so visible or not so scary (freckles, for example), you should not carefully hide them! After all, there is nothing more beautiful than clean, healthy skin WITHOUT corrective or tonal products.

Regarding the choice of brand, I advise you to choose products from professional brands, because from experience it was Prof. correctors give what you need and are moderately priced!

In order to it was easy to remember I’ll write briefly what color of corrector hides what:

1. white - light pigmentation, freckles, circles under the eyes for people with warm skin tones.

2. lilac (lilac)- hides yellowness.

3. blue - hides redness on sunburned skin or signs of rosacea.

4. yellow - neutralizes blue. Hides blood vessels and dark circles under the eyes.

5. green - neutralizes redness. It will hide pimples and traces of them, rosacea, irritation, allergies.

6. pink (peach pink)— a base of this shade refreshes aging skin, as well as skin without blush with a grayish undertone.

7. orange - will remove bruises, also suitable for those with dark skin. It will hide dark circles under the eyes of dark-skinned women.

Also a post about concealers will help, because they also help achieve the ideal skin tone:

I hope posts of this nature will be useful to you. After all, in addition to describing all kinds of cosmetic products, I also want to share my professional knowledge :)

How to use green face corrector correctly

Unfortunately, not all representatives of the fair half of humanity can boast of the health and purity of their skin. Almost every woman is forced to deal with enlarged pores, dark circles around the eyes, or small pimples. And many of them are helped by facial correctors in solving these very complex problems. Thus, green face correctors are currently gaining more and more popularity. These products can very effectively mask most facial skin imperfections and highlight its natural advantages.

When you go to any store that sells cosmetics, you will be able to find a huge variety of concealers with a wide variety of shades. You can find correctors in very unusual colors, for example, orange, yellow, pink, blue and even purple. And each of these correctors has an almost unique purpose. They should be used to eliminate specific skin defects - by the way, we have already written about how to use a corrector. For example, a yellow corrector can perfectly disguise dark circles under the eyes. Orange should be used to camouflage blue-green bruises and visible veins. And pink is used to hide the brown contour around the eyes. You can read the general principles of using corrector in our articles How to use facial corrector and Concealer and corrector, and in this article we will talk about the features of using green corrector.

As you can see, all of the above-described correctors are capable of solving only narrow, very specific problems. Is there a face corrector that has more universal properties that can be used to solve various problems? Yes, it exists. This face corrector has a green color. If you have never used it before and can’t believe that it really has a green color and can mask skin imperfections, just look at the photos below and read reviews about green face corrector on the Internet. And you shouldn't be afraid of this color. If you apply this corrector correctly, it can hide almost all the imperfections of your facial skin.

Why do you need a green face concealer - what does it cover?

Let's take a closer look at what is best to cover up with a green face concealer, and how to use it with maximum effectiveness.

This corrector creates a slight haze on the face. This is an ideal way to disguise the so-called “red mesh”. In addition, this particular corrector should be used to disguise insect bites, rashes caused by an allergic reaction, acne and sunburn. But you should keep in mind that only with the correct application of green face corrector can it effectively mask all of the above problems and give your facial skin a natural and beautiful look.

Green face corrector: how to use

Rules of application:

1. This corrector is best applied using various synthetic brushes, or with your fingers. The layer you apply should be as thin as possible. If you squeeze this concealer directly onto your face, you will end up with an overly thick layer. You should not do this, because this way you will not be able to achieve a natural transition of color boundaries.

2. When you apply the corrector, pay special attention to shading the boundaries of the application areas. After all, too noticeable transitions will give your face an unnatural look. Even if, after applying this corrector, redness on your skin is still noticeable, you should not thicken its layer. After all, powder or foundation will fall on top of it. They will help you completely disguise this problem.

3. The corrector should be applied to areas with redness, as well as to the wings of the nose, using tapping movements. But on the cheeks it is applied with longitudinal stroking movements in the direction from top to bottom. But at the same time, do not allow the skin to be pulled back too much. If you do your makeup before going to the beach, or have chosen an olive-colored concealer, then you do not need to apply any more cosmetics. But, when you need to create evening makeup, it is best to apply foundation over the corrector, and then fix it with powder.

4. When you need to cover up the marks left after acne has healed, the green concealer must be applied with a brush, and then use powder. In this case, the powder should be applied using driving movements.

5. Some women have skin that can turn red due to temperature changes or as a result of drinking various alcoholic beverages. To avoid this kind of misunderstanding, green corrector should be applied in advance to areas where such redness usually appears.

We also suggest watching a video on how to apply green concealer to your face.

And the main thing is not to forget about a sense of proportion and that your face should have a natural look!

It’s easy to guess about the basic purpose of the corrector, even if you’ve never held this product in your hands: the name speaks for itself. The corrector solves minor local problems related to skin tone: hides pimples, redness and age spots, disguises dark circles and bruises under the eyes, and evens out skin color.

How is corrector different from concealer?

Corrector and concealer are foundations that are often confused with each other. And there are several reasons for this: firstly, they actually partially duplicate each other’s functions. Secondly, some cosmetics manufacturers do not distinguish between these categories, releasing one product to disguise all minor skin imperfections - and call it either a concealer or a corrector. But in fact there is a difference between them.

The concealer is designed primarily to cover larger areas of the face: to hide dark circles and dark circles under the eyes. The corrector can also be used for this purpose, but it best copes with more serious local imperfections: masking pimples, acne marks, small scars.

The concealer has a lighter texture and the shade is closer to the natural skin tone. At the same time, the corrector can be either nude or colored: yellow, green, orange and even purple (we will tell you more about the functions of this category of products below).

The corrector dries out the skin, while the concealer, on the contrary, contains moisturizing components.

The concealer's covering power is not that high, so covering up a pimple with it will be problematic. But the corrector, due to its dense and thicker texture, copes with this task easily.

The corrector is applied before the foundation (or instead of it), and the concealer is applied on top.

You can read more about the functions and features of the concealer in.

Types of face correctors

Choose the appropriate proofreader format depending on the task you face.

Liquid corrector

The most popular format: liquid correctors are loved primarily because they are easy to use.

• As a rule, the kit includes a convenient applicator, like a lip gloss, with which it is easy to apply the corrector both to spots and to larger areas.
• Many of the liquid concealers can be used around the eyes to hide dark circles under the eyes. However, make sure that the corrector is not too dense in texture and does not get caught in small folds of the skin. If dark circles are too noticeable, apply the product in layers: first spread the corrector in a translucent layer and blend well. Allow the product to absorb and apply a second coat.

• Liquid correctors are produced in different colors, from pink to green: these are intended for color correction of the skin.
• Sometimes you can see the inscription “reflective corrector” on the packaging; they are used in the area around the eyes to hide small swellings, or are used instead.

Corrector stick

The second most popular format of concealer, which is very convenient to take with you: it definitely won’t smear in your bag, and you can use it to disguise an inopportune pimple even in a taxi on the way to a party. This product has a creamy texture, so it spreads quickly and easily over the skin and is perfect for girls with dry skin. To hide a pimple or a small scar, proceed according to the following scheme: precisely apply the product to the problem area, wait until it “settles” on the skin a little (20-30 seconds), and then blend the edges with your fingers or a sponge. Apply a little powder on top to seal the result.

Pencil corrector

The corrector pencil has a high density and dry texture; antibacterial components are often added to its composition, so this product is ideal for girls with oily and problem skin. In addition, this concealer has the highest staying power. In addition to its main function, such a pencil also takes on several others.

• Using a corrector pencil, you can visually enlarge your lips: apply a nude pencil, slightly extending beyond their contour. If, on the contrary, you want to make your lips a little smaller, outline them strictly along the contour.

• The pencil can be used instead of a primer for the eyes or lips: shade the entire surface of the lips with corrector, and apply bright lipstick on top - the shade will be more saturated and the lipstick will last longer. Do the same if you use bright shadows.

• You can use a corrector pencil to highlight the area under the eyebrow to visually lift it.

• Line the mucous membrane of your eyes with a pencil to make your eyes look more wide-open.

Cream corrector

Concealer has a creamy consistency and is usually sold in small jars or palettes of four to six colors: they are useful if you need to solve several different skin problems. In general, cream correctors are universal (they are even used for), they have a fairly dense consistency and high covering power, so they can be used to disguise scars and dark spots. Cream correctors can be applied to different areas of the face with a brush, or even with your fingers. Best suited for normal to dry skin, may be too rich for oily skin.

Foundation corrector

On occasion, it can replace foundation, as it has a similar consistency. Choose a shade according to the same rules that you follow when choosing: it should perfectly match your skin tone.

Dry corrector

Not the most common concealer format, which, however, is ideal for oily skin, as it has a mattifying effect. Use to correct redness or age spots: in the first case, a corrector with green pigments, in the second, with purple pigments. Apply regular powder to match your skin tone on top.

How to apply concealer to the face: step-by-step diagrams

Concealer can be used for different purposes, and the techniques for applying it certainly vary. We'll tell you about the basic techniques that will help you use face corrector.

Corrector for the skin around the eyes

There are several techniques for applying concealer under the eyes. You can use the corrector to draw thin lines diverging from the inner corner of the eye, or put several dots under the lower eyelid. But you should always adhere to one method of shading the applied product: correctly shade the corrector in the shape of an inverted triangle, and not stretching it towards the inner corners of the eyes. Please note that the corrector should be either skin tone or slightly lighter.

How to cover up bruises and dark circles under the eyes?

• If the dark circles under the eyes are too noticeable, use a yellow, orange or pinkish shade of corrector, apply a corrector on top of a tone lighter than your skin, or immediately treat the area with foundation.

• To hide dark circles, also use a color corrector. If you have fair skin, use pink, medium skin tones will suit peach, dark skin tones will suit orange.

• Apply color corrector in the same way as a regular nude or concealer.

How to hide wrinkles with a concealer?

Then apply a concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your skin color under your eyes to hide dark circles and crow's feet in this area (remember the inverted triangle rule!). Choose a water-based liquid concealer that won't settle into creases: after using it, your skin will look more even.

Apply the corrector with a thin brush (or a thin applicator, for example, like Giorgio Armani High Precision Retouch) directly inside the wrinkle, on the area where the shadow falls. Lightening this area will visually smooth out the wrinkle.

How to hide a pimple with concealer?

Use a brush to apply cool-toned green concealer directly to the pimple or redness.

Lightly press the pigment with your finger and blend its borders. Wait a minute for the corrector to “settle” on the skin.

Apply a foundation that matches your skin tone all over your face.

Corrector color palettes: how to use

Color correctors are products that help solve several problems: mask redness, dark circles under the eyes, age spots and other minor skin imperfections. To find out which one you need, read our instructions.

Purple corrector

• Lilac tones neutralize yellowness, so a concealer of this color will help to cope with a dull complexion (in this case, apply the corrector to the entire face) and hide small age spots. Be sure to spread foundation on top.
• In addition to the fact that lavender corrector removes yellowness, it also gives the skin radiance.
• If you are severely sunburned, apply a corrective primer with blue pigments to your face. It will help soften the effect a little.
• If you have dark or tanned skin, do not use a cool-toned product: it is unlikely to improve the situation.

Yellow corrector

• Yellow correctors are ideal for neutralizing and brightening purple and blue spots, so use them to correct dark circles under the eyes and fine spider veins.
• They are also suitable for covering dark scars and acne marks.
• If you don't have a yellow concealer on hand, try using a foundation with a yellowish undertone: it can also cope with slight redness.

Pink corrector

• Conceals dark circles under the eyes: hides blue, green and violet colors. Dark circles of these colors are most often found in people with fair and medium skin tones. Therefore, if you notice that small veins around the nose or dark circles under the eyes look greenish, feel free to correct them with a pink corrector.
• If you have pale skin, choose a salmon shade; peach is more suitable for olive or tanned skin.
• On pale skin, a pink concealer will also help hide age spots.

White corrector

White corrector is quite rare. As a rule, they are used to dilute foundations, concealers and correctors of too dark a shade in order to ultimately obtain a suitable color.

Green corrector

Green is the best color to neutralize redness, so this concealer is ideal for covering up pimples, spider veins, and a reddish complexion. To cover up more serious blemishes (like sunburn), mix green concealer with foundation and apply to problem area. If you have a reddish complexion, use a green color correcting primer.

Orange corrector

The most important correction product for dark skin. Orange concealer hides age spots, brownish circles under the eyes and other dark spots. It will also help to slightly lighten the dark nasolabial folds and the area in the corners of the lips, and neutralize dark circles under the eyes.
