Hey Beauties!
I thought I would do a post on Colour Correcting today because a lot of my readers/followers have been asking how to get flawless skin and to me as a makeup artist I think Colour Correcting is a big thing for some people because it can entirely change your face.
Colour Correcting comes from the idea of canceling/neutralising colours by using colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel.
If you had a lot of darkness under your eyes or if you had blue veins that show up on your skin you would use an orange because Orange is opposite Blue so they cancel each other out. Its the same with Redness if you have overly red skin you want to calm down then you would use a Green corrector as Green is opposite Red and will cancel each other out.
When correcting the idea is to cancel each other out, not to replace the Red with Green or Orange with Blue this can be the hard part. What i usually do is put down layers of the orange/green to neutralise the blue/red then leave it to "cook" and come back to it then apply a concealer over the top of it in a patting motion because if you swipe the concealer on it will mix with the corrector beneath and then powder it and you're set to go!
Products I usually use for this are:
 |
| 1. Corrector on its own 2. Covered with Studio Finish Concealer and Powdered with Prep+Prime Loose Powder |
I used this product on Model, Macoula Dembele and it looked amazing
If you can't find the Pure Orange corrector then Morange Lipstick by MAC or Flare by Illamasqua works just as well
For redness i will often use the Ten Image Green Corrector in CMP-110 which is really creamy so it doesn't cake up and slide everywhere its the perfect texture.

When applying this correctors I will use a MAC 195 and a Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush to set the corrector/concealer with Powder. Instead of sweaping the concealer on top of the corrector i find patting the concealer on works so much better as the colours dont blend then dabbing the powder into the concealer so you do not distrub your work
Have you tried Colour Correcting before?
