if you've been following me for a while
you know how much i love corrector
i never skip using a corrector whenever
i do my makeup you might wonder why
i use this even though i can cover with
a concealer
or foundation officer the goal of this
video is to answer those questions
and i'm going to walk you guys through
everything about color correcting what
are the differences between color
correcting
and using a concealer how to choose the
right color for your skin concern
including redness dark circles acne
hyperpigmentation and all that that
first thing first
what is color correcting it is a makeup
technique to neutralize the look of skin
discoloration
using the right color if you ever google
color correcting it is common to see
the color wheel you are going to use the
opposite color of the area of
skin you want to color correct to
neutralize the area
then what are the differences between
color crediting and using a concealer
you might be confused with color grading
with using concealer
because it seems like it is going to
cover perfectly anyway
but it is actually not color grading is
not about covering
is more about neutralizing the color or
changing the color on the other hand
concealer
is for covering when it comes to the
shade of concealer you use you are going
to use the one that
matches with your skin tone perfectly
oftentimes we tend to cover
the area we want to cover with high
coverage foundation or
concealer and sometimes a lot of amount
of them
but if you neutralize the area with
color correcting
it will allow you need less amount of
product you use
then you can get more natural look with
less product yet still
covered then which colors are suitable
for rich
skin problems rather than breaking down
into
each colors i'm going to walk you guys
to all skin concerns
you might have and what color you should
use for that
first if you have acne blemishes rosacea
and all that redness you should use
green color as you can see from the
color wheel green is opposite of red
so using green will neutralize the red
the second concern
is dark circles there are actually many
different type of dark circles so
depending on
what type you have you need to use
different colors by your
unique issue if you have blue under eye
circles
as you can see the complementary of blue
is orange so you are going to use orange
to neutralize
if you have bluish purple or indigo
under eye dark circles you are going to
use yellow or yellowish orange to
neutralize
if you have purple under eye dark
circles you are going to use yellow
for brown one you might want to correct
with peach
orange or red depending on the
depth of the dark circles for yellow
discoloration you are going to use
purple
even though you might understand this
whole color theory 101 you might still
confuse that
what color of your dark circle is so the
best way
is try different colors under each eye
and see which one works the best for
example if you are not sure whether you
need to use
pink orange or peachy color for your
dark circles try pink under
one eye and orange under the other to
see which one works the best
if stables don't work well try to mix
them both to create
peach color and see if it's worth or not
if you want to cover beer shadow or
building which generally are blue in
color
you want to use orange as is opposite to
blue on the color wheel
if you are struggling with dullness or
any grayish complexions
the first color is yellow yellow turns
can brighten up darker skin tones and
light light can brighten up
lighter skin tones so depending on the
color of your skin
you can use either yellow or lilac
or purple for grayish complexions red or
pink will help you to get that
subtle flush on your complexion so even
though you don't use
a color corrector like red or pink cream
blush will help you to get that fresh
look
so we covered all about how to choose
the right color so now we are going to
talk about
how to choose the right product when it
comes to choosing the right product
color intensity or richness need to
match with the depth of your
skin tone for example very rich color on
summer berry fair
is going to far more than just correct
the area
it is going to over correct and then the
color from color correcting palette will
be
so vibrant then you might need more
coverage to cover the
color but if you have deeper skin tone
and you use that
like pastel color then you are going to
get that grayish
result instead of correcting the area so
if you have fair or light skin you are
going to use
light or pastely color it is going to
neutralize the area very naturally
without leaving that strong pigments on
your skin
if you have medium or deep skin tone you
are going to use
more vivid or vibrant color compared to
the one for
fair or light skin tones even if you
have fair or light skin you could still
have severe discoloration
and light or parsley cracker it wouldn't
work really well
so at this stage you could use vivid or
vibrant color to neutralize
so now we are moving on to application
how to apply it
first under eye area is the most
sensitive area
on your skin blend the edges by gently
tapping so
there is no harsh lines but only keep
the color correcting
product only where there is curation not
over the area
don't swipe your concealer on afterwards
because it will move the color
correcting product around
and then you can use foundation or
concealer
that matches with your skin after for
wider areas such as
cheek and forehead using a flat
foundation brush will help you to spread
the product widely while getting dna of
the product
sometimes the corrector looks too
visible to apply
on wider areas on your face so in this
case
you could mix a corrector with
foundation or concealer you use to make
it less visible
and more natural
you can either use a sponge or
fingertips to tap the product
and blend the product for acne
hyperpigmentation
or just any area you need more precise
application
spot correcting with either a small
brush or fingertips will be
helpful to correct keep product only
where there is decoration this time as
well
and don't swipe your foundation or
concealer on after
this time it is more about place the
product on the top of it rather than
buffing around
or smudging around so these are all
about color correcting
and i hope you guys find this video very
helpful
even though i talk about the art of
color correcting and
how it works efficiently to cover the
like acne or any skin issues not
