Your concealer may appear orange due to several factors:
- Incorrect shade: You may be using a concealer that is too dark or has the wrong undertone for your skin. To find the perfect match, test concealer on your jawline and observe its blending with your skin.
- Oxidation: Some concealers oxidize on the skin, meaning they react with the air and change color over time. This can cause a light concealer to appear orange or darker.
- Excess oils: Oils on your skin can mix with the formula of your concealer and change its appearance, making it look orange.
- Incorrect color corrector: If you're using a color corrector under your concealer, it might not be the right shade or type for your skin tone.
- Lighting: The lighting you're in can affect how your concealer appears. It might look orange under warm lighting but appear more natural under cool lighting.
Solutions to prevent your concealer from looking orange:
- Choose the right shade: Test the concealer on your jawline to find the perfect match for your skin tone.
- Look for non-oxidizing formulas: Check the ingredients list for concealers that are less prone to oxidizing.
- Control oil production: Use blotting papers to absorb excess oil before applying concealer.
- Choose the right color corrector: If you need to correct redness or dark circles, use a color corrector that complements your skin tone.
- Consider using a setting spray: A setting spray can help to lock in the color of your concealer and prevent it from oxidizing.
Remember that experimenting with different products and techniques is key to finding what works best for you.
