Color correction is a makeup technique that helps to neutralize unwanted colors. Areas of redness, yellowish or dark complexion can be easily covered up with a few strokes and dots. Color correctors are most effective when used after a primer and before applying concealer or foundation.

Color correction of dullness with pink 

Brighten a dull complexion with a light pink corrective concealer or makeup primer, such as Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Prime in Blur + Illuminate or Erborian CC Dull Proper. Pink can give the illusion of brighter skin, so we recommend concentrating the application under the eyes, in the center of the forehead, in the middle of the chin, and anywhere else you want a little extra glow. If you want to shine all over your body, mix some pink concealer with your foundation. 

The right color of yellow undertone with lavender or blue

Neutralize yellowish undertones and yellowish undertones on fair to medium skin with purple, blue or lavender concealer. When mixed with a nude concealer, these cool pastels can help create a more radiant complexion. They can also target areas with increased hyperpigmentation, melasma, or sunspots. We like NYX Professional Makeup HD Concealer in Lavenderidentify the correct areas and NYX Professional Makeup Color Correcting Liquid Primer in Blue to eliminate the overall earthy tone.

Hiding breakouts can be quite a challenge. Luckily, with green color-correcting concealer, this is not an impossible task. Camouflage reddish breakouts, blemishes, broken blood vessels and pink tones with Laura Geller Beauty Filter Corrector or NYX Professional Makeup HD Concealer in Green. They are great for covering up breakouts or blending into foundation for everyday use. That said, if your pimple has burst or opened, we don't recommend using cosmetics until it heals. 

Correction of dark circles and discoloration with peach or yellow color 

Conceal the appearance of under-eye circles and dark spots on darker skin tones with a peach or yellow concealer. The Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid in peach or yellow is one of our favorites. For maximum coverage, create an inverted triangle and blend with a blending sponge to neutralize your tone. Then apply a concealer that's a little lighter than your skin tone, in the same inverted triangle, and voila, no more darkness.
