The primary way to correct a red face color is by using green color correction products.
Because green sits directly opposite red on the color wheel, it effectively neutralizes redness. Here's a breakdown of how to use different green-toned products:
-
Green Color Corrector Concealer: Best for spot-treating areas with redness, such as blemishes, broken capillaries around the nose, or small patches of rosacea. Apply a small amount to the affected area and gently blend. Follow with your regular foundation or concealer.
-
Green Primer: Ideal for those who experience all-over facial redness from conditions like rosacea, irritation, or sunburn. Apply a thin, even layer after your moisturizer and before your foundation.
-
Green BB Cream: A lighter alternative to foundation that provides color correction along with hydration and sun protection. It's suitable for mild redness and everyday use.
Application Tips:
- Start with a small amount: It's easier to build coverage than to remove excess product.
- Blend thoroughly: Ensure the green color is completely blended into your skin before applying foundation or concealer.
- Choose the right shade: Select a green tone that complements your skin tone. Lighter greens are suitable for fair skin, while darker greens work better for medium to deep skin tones.
- Consider the cause of redness: Persistent redness may indicate an underlying skin condition. Consult a dermatologist if the redness is severe, accompanied by other symptoms, or doesn't improve with over-the-counter treatments. They can properly diagnose the cause and recommend the most effective treatment plan.
