So today I want to explain how to use color correcting concealers. I have reviewed a few of these type of products including NYX and Wet N' Wild Versions! Check those reviews out here!
I have heard a lot of people ask how I use these products and how to know what colors to put were. I have went ahead and numbered the colors in the pallet I was using (NYX Color Correcting Concealer).
WHAT TO USE?!
1) Yellow shades will combat darkness under the eyes. Use this if your darkness is purple based.
2) Green helps take out redness! I use this all of my chin and around my nose.
3) Purple is brightening and will help mask any yellow or brown areas on your skin. I sometimes use this under my eyes if I don't have dark circles.
4) Light Pinks will also help combat darkness. this shade should be used if your dark spots are green or blue based.
5) This is a natural colored concealer for light skin tones. It could be used as a highlight on darker skin tones in a pinch but if your fair this is the color you would use as typical concealer
6) This is a darker shade of concealer. If your medium toned this could be used as your typical concealer but I use it as a contour shade because I am VERY pale.
***this pallet comes in two shades this one and one that is a bit more natural and darker. I would recommend this version for almost all skin tones. You can mix the shades together to get a better match.
Now how to apply this!
Make sure to apply this before you apply foundation or any other face products!
Simply prime your face and then apply like you would regular concealer, Your going to think you look crazy but trust me.
Try to match the color you use to the blemish color opposite of it on the color wheel. That helps neutralize the unwanted color.
Blend out the edges, then apply your natural color concealer over the top of your color correcting concealer.
Once done finish applying your make up like you normally would! When your finished your skin should look flawless.
