Correct and Conceal Make Up Tips

Sometimes you need something more than flesh-toned concealer to help hide unwanted appearances on your face.  When that time arises, you want to use color correctors.  Here are some guidelines for using correctors:

• Don’t turn your red face into a green face.  When using color corrector, use the smallest amount possible to do the trick.  You don’t want to cover red only to discover that your face is now green! 
   

• Layer if necessary.  Apply a small amount, and then apply your foundation.  If you need more coverage, apply another thin coat of corrector, then more foundation.
   

• Once you have gotten the look you desire, rub your hands together really fast for a few seconds.  Now, gently press your hands over your face for about 5 seconds.  This will quickset your make up.

What color corrector do I need?

Here are the colors available for correcting skin problems and what each one does:

• Green: Tones down redness.  Use this to hide pimples, blemishes, scars, birthmarks and broken capillaries 
   

• Apricot, Peach: Brighten cooler skin tones
   

• Rose: Gives a glow to sallow complexions.  Mix some of this with your foundation to camouflage yellowish bruises.
   

• Lilac: Tones down excess yellow in the skin
   

• Blue: Tones down orange skin tones
   

• Yellow: Brightens warmer skin tones.  Use this to cover up dark colored bruises & dark under-eye circles.
