Truth: putting green concealer on your zits can do wonders.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you follow makeup artists on Instagram or turn the pages of any beauty magazine, chances are you\u2019ll find a tutorial on color correcting, a much buzzed about new trend that involves wearing concealer in every shade of the rainbow. Turns out putting purple concealer on your face isn\u2019t an act of madness but rather an ingenious way to hide blemishes. Here\u2019s how to apply color correcting concealer to hide your perfectly cute imperfections.<\/p>\n
Color correcting is a concealer technique that professional makeup artists have used for years and that went mainstream after social media got wind of the trend. Here,\u00a0the color wheel determines which color of concealer will\u00a0work best on your blemish.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Colors that are opposite of one another on the color wheel cancel each other out. Green concealer cancels out red zits, purple concealer minimizes yellow spots, and orange concealer takes care of blue dark circles. If you apply this theory, then\u00a0you can make your concealer work better for you.<\/p>\n
Use the appropriate hue to cover blemishes, then lightly pat your foundation on over the color. When covering dark eye circles with orange or pink, apply your regular concealer over the bright pigments, then tap the makeup down with a beauty blender.<\/p>\n
For redness, acne and rosacea<\/em><\/p>\n Green is opposite the color wheel from red, so it\u2019s perfect for hiding any redness on your face, like pimples and acne\u00a0scars<\/a>. If you have rosacea<\/a>, a color correcting green primer will help hide unwanted redness and give you an even base for applying foundation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For people with darker skin tones who have dark circles under their eyes<\/em><\/p>\n Orange is opposite from blue. If you have darker skin with blue dark circles, orange will work to help conceal the uneven undertones. People with lighter skin should avoid orange and instead use a peach color corrector.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For people with lighter skin tones who have dark circles under their eyes<\/em><\/p>\n Pink concealer is usually salmon or peach in tone and is created from a mix of red, orange, and yellow hues. Since these colors are opposite from blue, green, and purple on the wheel, this corrector is best for hiding dark eye circles on lighter skin tones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For dark purple bruises, veins, and under eye circles<\/em><\/p>\n Yellow color correcting concealer can be used to cover up any blemish that\u2019s purple in tone. Bruises, veins, and under eye circles<\/a> can be hidden with a yellow spot concealer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nOrange Concealer<\/strong><\/h2>\n
