Color correcting foundation is used to neutralize unwanted skin tones, like redness, darkness, or sallowness, before applying your regular foundation. This helps your foundation to look more even and natural.
To use color correcting foundation, follow these steps:
- Start with a clean and moisturized face.
- Apply primer. This creates a smooth surface for the color corrector to adhere to.
- Dot on your color corrector where needed.
- Green neutralizes redness.
- Purple neutralizes yellow tones.
- Orange neutralizes darkness, like under-eye circles.
- Yellow brightens and evens out skin tone.
- Blend the color corrector into your skin using a brush, sponge, or your fingers.
- Apply your regular foundation on top of the color corrector. This will help to set the color corrector and create a flawless finish.
- Finish with concealer, powder, and any other desired makeup.
Remember that color correcting foundation is best used sparingly. A little bit goes a long way! Also, ensure you choose the correct color corrector for your skin tone and the specific issue you're trying to correct.
