You may have come across palettes of concealers that feature green, pink, yellow and purple colors. Not sure how to use them? Here's a quick guide that can help you figure it out, providing you with essential make up application tips to perfect your look!
Concealers come in a variety of pastel hues, and each serves a purpose. When applying them, use only on the discolored area, followed by your regular concealer so that the color doesn't come through.
Green - Light green concealers will cover redness in the skin, common of acne, scars and birthmarks.
Pink - Pink shades balance out blue and gray tones, which tend to show up under the eyes.
Yellow - Yellow-based concealers brighten by evening out pink tones.
Orange and Peach - Great for darker skin, orangy shades correct blue tones under the eyes.
Purple and Blue - Cool colors like purple and blue counteract yellowness in the skin to brighten.
Remember, after applying these color correctors, be sure to apply your normal concealer over it to hide the color and to give you that flawless, even skin tone you've been looking for.
