Skin correctors, often in cream or liquid form, neutralize discoloration to create a smooth base for makeup. Applying them correctly makes a huge difference in your overall look.
Applying Skin Corrector: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
Identify Your Discoloration: Determine the type of discoloration you want to correct. Common issues include dark circles (often purplish or bluish), redness (from blemishes or rosacea), and sallowness (dull, yellowish tones).
-
Choose the Right Corrector Shade: The color wheel is your guide! Use complementary colors to neutralize:
- Purple/Blue Discoloration (Dark Circles): Use a peach or orange corrector. The reference video mentions using a peach shade for dark circles and an orange shade for deeper skin tones.
- Redness (Blemishes, Rosacea): Use a green corrector.
- Yellowish/Sallow Skin: Use a lavender or purple corrector.
-
Apply Sparingly: Start with a tiny amount of corrector. A little goes a long way! You can always add more, but it's harder to remove excess.
-
Blend Carefully: Use a small brush, sponge, or even your fingers to gently blend the corrector into your skin. Focus on seamless integration rather than harsh lines. The key is to make it look natural.
-
Set with Concealer (Optional): After blending the corrector, you can apply a concealer in your natural skin tone to further even out your complexion.
