Makeup Tutorial: How to Use Color Correcting Makeup

In the age of contouring, strobing and root-stamping, it seems our standard, pat makeup processes are getting upgrades. Every five minutes, someone is discovering a new way to improve how we dress up our faces. The latest and greatest upgrade comes in the form of a concealer—more specifically, multiple concealers. Instead of using one uniform nude concealer to cover all of our skin concerns, beauty lovers have adopted color-correctors. Formulated in various vibrant shades of purple, green, yellow, orange, etc., each color tackles a specific skin concern and works to neutralize the area using fancy, strategic color theory (think of those cool color wheels you played with in grade school). Now we can go on all day about the hows and whys of color-correcting, but we’ve already done that here. Instead, today i am just going to show you how and where exactly to apply your fancy multi-colored concealers to ensure you get your money’s worth.

Step 1: Apply face primer to your clean, makeup-free face.

Step 2: Apply color-correctors to the specific areas/regions they are designed to address. If you’re not sure what each color corrector does, here’s a quick rundown:

● Green: Neutralizes redness and brightens. This color is best for covering acne and redness caused by irritation.

● Purple: Balances out yellowness or uneven tone. This shade is great for old bruises or dull, sallow areas.

● Pink: Lightens darkened areas like under-eye circles and acne scars.

● Yellow: Hides blue and/or purple areas like broken capillaries, age spots and eyelids.

PRO TIP: When applying a creamy, thicker formula, warm up the fingers by rubbing them together prior to applying your color correctors. If using fluid/liquid-based concealers, apply using a brush or cosmetic sponge (like the NYX Flawless Finish Blending Sponge).

Step 3: Blend out your color corrector gently, using a makeup sponge.

Step 4: After the concealer is blended in well, proceed to applying your regular foundation.

How Celebs Deal with Hyperpigmentation

Makeup Matters: Sure, you can use movie-grade cover-up and camouflage foundation like Dermablend Cover Creme to hide your hyperpigmentation, but summer is about wearing less. You want to avoid any melted beauty blunders, after all. "Sometimes, I just use a peach waterproof eyeliner directly onto the hyperpigmentation on dry skin, let it set and go about with my normal tinted moisturizer or foundation, then add bronzer," suggested celeb makeup artist Suzie Kim . "A dewy finish refracts light better than a matte finish." If you're in need of more coverage, keep in mind a peach-colored concealer. If you have a darker complexion, go more orange. If the pigmentation is redder in hue, try a green-ish cover-up. Reminder: This color-correcting step is meant to cover your pigmentation—not your skin—which should then be met with a foundation that matches your natural skin tone.
