Red Color Correctors

Red color correctors help cancel out dark spots on deep skin tones. Sometimes finding the right red color corrector can be hard, but Khloe Dosh reminds us when it doubt, red lipstick is another option. Check out her tutorial here.

Green Color Correctors

Green color correctors are great for eliminating redness on all skin types. Since green neutralizes the color red, it helps reduce the appearance of zits, pimples, and other red marks. It can help you cover dark spots on lighter skin tones too, if you mix it with a yellow or peach concealer. Check out how The Beauty Maine applies green concealer here.

Peach Color Corrector

Peach concealers are for light skin tones looking to cancel out dark circles and spots. A dark pink and salmon color work well for lighter skin tones as well. Check out how Vilma Martins color corrects her skin with peach concealer here.

Do’s and Don’ts of Color Correcting

• Do choose the right hues for your skin. Your color corrector will be most effective if you find the right tone.
• Do apply color corrector to your problem areas ONLY.
• Don't use colors that you don't need. For example, if you don't have redness in your skin, then a green color corrector wouldn't be for you.
• Don't use too much color corrector, more is not always merrier! Keep in mind that you still need to apply your foundation and concealer. Too much product will make you look caked up.
• Do use a beauty tool to blend your color corrector. I prefer a Beauty Blender but if your fingers work, then knock yourself out. Be sure to tap the area to blend instead of sweeping motions.
• Don't worry about coverage, that's what your foundation is for.
• Don't use it if you don't have any acne scars, redness, or dark spots.
