How to Use Foundation Corrector

Using foundation corrector is a key step for achieving a flawless base by neutralising skin discolouration before applying your foundation.

Foundation correctors come in various colours, each designed to counteract a specific tone on the skin (e.g., green for redness, peach/orange for blue/purple under-eye circles). The process involves targeting only the necessary areas to achieve the desired colour correction.

## Simple Steps for Using Foundation Corrector

Here's a straightforward guide on how to use foundation corrector based on effective techniques:

*   **Step 1: Prep the Skin**
*   **Step 2: Apply the Corrector**
*   **Step 3: Blend It Out**
*   **Step 4: Observe Neutralisation**
*   **Step 5: Optional Concealer Application**

## Detailed Application Process

Let's break down each step for optimal results.

### Step 1: Skin Prep

Begin by ensuring your skin is ready for makeup application. According to the reference, you must **prep the skin with a suitable moisturiser**. This hydrates your skin, creating a smooth and even surface for the corrector and subsequent layers.

### Step 2: Apply the Corrector

Precision is important when using colour correctors. Start by **applying the corrector only to the problem area**. Whether it's redness around the nose, dark spots, or discolouration under the eyes, apply the product specifically to the affected region. Avoid spreading it over areas that don't need correction.

### Step 3: Blend It Out

Once the corrector is placed on the problem area, the next crucial step is blending. **Blend it out with a brush or a beauty blender**. Use tapping or stippling motions to integrate the edges of the corrector into the surrounding skin without removing the product from the area you need corrected. This ensures a seamless transition.

### Step 4: Observe Neutralisation

Immediately after blending, you will observe the effect of the corrector. Once the corrector is applied, you'll see the **neutralisation in the skin**. The targeted discolouration will appear less prominent as the corrector's colour cancels it out.

### Step 5: Optional Concealer Application

For additional coverage or to unify the skin tone further, you can add another layer. The reference notes that you **can go over it again with a concealer, and blend it smoothly**. Apply a small amount of concealer over the corrected area and gently blend it into your skin and the surrounding foundation (if already applied) for a smooth finish.

By following these steps, you can effectively use foundation corrector to address specific skin discolourations and create a more even canvas for your foundation.
