Mastering Color Correction
When it comes to achieving a flawless complexion, foundation alone may not be enough to neutralize unwanted tones and blemishes. This is where color-correcting concealers come into play! By understanding how different colors counteract specific skin concerns, you can create a natural, radiant finish with minimal product. Letโs break down how to use green, beige, and salmon concealers effectively for the best results.

Green Concealer โ Your Redness Neutralizer
Green is the opposite of red on the color wheel, making it the perfect solution for neutralizing redness on the skin. Use a green concealer to:
- Cover blemishes, pimples, and acne scars.
- Reduce the appearance of rosacea or general facial redness.
- Correct red patches around the nose and cheeks.
- How to Apply: Dab a small amount onto red areas using a brush or your fingertip and gently blend out before applying foundation.

Beige Concealer โ The All-Purpose Skin Perfector
A good beige concealer is your go-to for general coverage and brightening up dull areas. It works well for:
- Covering minor imperfections like small scars or faint discoloration.
- Evening out the skin tone without looking heavy.
- Enhancing the under-eye area for a well-rested look.
How to Apply: Apply directly onto the areas you want to even out and gently blend with a sponge or fingertips. Use a shade that closely matches your natural skin tone.

- Dark circles under the eyes.
- Veins or bluish discoloration around the eyelids.
- Bruising or hyperpigmentation with cool undertones.
How to Apply: Use a small amount under the eyes in a triangular shape to brighten and lift the area. Blend well before layering with foundation or a skin-tone concealer.
