Color Correction

Unless you were blessed with flawless skin, you probably have some areas that need concealing.  Especially as we age, brown spots from sun exposure, acne scars & dark circles can become more visible.  Instead of piling on the makeup (resulting in an unnatural look), try “correcting” the problem by using a colored concealer to balance your skin tone.  I recently discovered a pink-tinted cream that I started using under my eyes & the results have been remarkable!  So I thought I’d share with you a guide to trying this technique & some products to help even out typical skin discolorations:

Green – erases redness (use on breakouts, broken blood vessels & around the nose)
Pink – cancels out blue (try on dark undereye circles, if yours have a bluish tint)
Yellow – brightens dark areas (use on your eyelids, sun/age spots & undereye circles, if yours have a brown/grayish tint)
Lilac – eliminates yellow (try on the hollows of cheeks & forehead)
Physicians Formula Concealer Duo (Green) – $6.99
Essence Forget It 3-in-1 Concealer (Pink) – $2.49
Physicians Formula Mineral Correcting Concealer (Yellow) – $8.95
Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Powder (Lilac) – $32.00

    When I first read in a magazine that green cancelled out redness I laughed. I have one lovely color corrector in this color and I agree with all you have written here – finding a great corrector can make a lot of difference in terms of how you use make up, great post, I haven;t seen many about this topic really.
