Why
color correcting concealers are Important?
What
normally people do is, whenever the get some acne or have any spot or flaw on
their face, they either apply simple concealer or they keep on applying layers
and layers of foundation on their flecks.
As
a result they get a cakey look with tons of layers of concealer and foundation.
This
method is completely wrong. Layers of foundation or a simple concealer is not
going to work for all kind of your flaws.
Foundation
is designed to give your skin tone a good coverage, not to hide your blemishes
or anything similar to it. It will just give your flaw a skin shade but will
not hide it completely.
Simple
concealer is good for hiding small blemishes or minor flaws.
Color
correcting concealers are specifically designed to hide each type of flaw on
your face.
There
is a different color to hid specific flaws.
What are color correcting concealers?
Color concealers were first used by makeup
artists. Later on they become a trend when social media get wind of this idea.
Main purpose:
Color concealers are used to hide blemishes or
any kind of flaw on your face.
How they work?
Opposite colors in the pallet cancel each other
out.
For instance, green cancels red, yellow cancels
purple and vice versa.
Usually there are six colors in a concealer
pallet.
- Lavender
- Pink
- Yellow
- Green
- Orange
- Peach
Lavender:
For yellow and dull skin tone.
Lavender concealer is best to brighten up yellow
skin tone. It neutralizes skins with yellow and dull tone. It also combats with
swallow undertones.
Pink:
Pink concealer is used on lighter skin tone.
It covers under eye dark circles and hides brown
spots on face. It also covers age and sun spots.
Yellow:
It's a specialist in covering purple spots,
veins and bruises.
It hides any blemish that is purple in tone.
Under eye circle ls can also be hidden with
yellow concealer.
Green:
Green correcting concealer is for hiding any red
spot on your face.
It perfectly hides pimples, acne and any other
scar that is red in color.
Orange:
Orange color correcting concealer is especially
for those who have dark skin tone.
It covers under eye circles.
Great for medium and dark tones.
Peach:
Peach is only for those who have lighter skin
tone.
It covers under eye circles. It's best in
cancellation of blue color.
Point to be noted:
Correct concealers for different skin types:
Not all the concealers are suitable for all skin
types.
Dark colors like orange, red in the pallet are
for those who have dark skin tones.
Light colors like pink and peach are for people
with lighter skin tones.
How to apply concealers correctly:
This is the most important step.
- Apply the best color for your skin types only on
the desired spot of your face.
- Like if you've pimple, apply a green concealer
right on the spot.
- Do not apply the concealer around the pimple.
- Once you have applied the color correcting
concealer then apply your regular concealer dab it on the spot and also around
the spot.
Note:
Use color correcting concealers only when you are in a dire
need of using them.
Do not cover your face with unnecessary layers of different
products.
If you have minor flaws on your face then you can use simple
concealer.
