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.
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 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.
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.
