Makeup Tutorial: How to Use Color Correcting Makeup

Step 1: Apply face primer to your clean, makeup-free face.

Step 2: Apply color-correctors to the specific areas/regions they are designed to address. If you’re not sure what each color corrector does, here’s a quick rundown:

●      Green: Neutralizes redness and brightens. This color is best for covering acne and redness caused by irritation.

●      Purple: Balances out yellowness or uneven tone. This shade is great for old bruises or dull, sallow areas.

●      Pink: Lightens darkened areas like under-eye circles and acne scars.

●      Yellow: Hides blue and/or purple areas like broken capillaries, age spots and eyelids.

PRO TIP: When applying a creamy, thicker formula, warm up the fingers by rubbing them together prior to applying your color correctors. If using fluid/liquid-based concealers, apply using a brush or cosmetic sponge (like the NYX Flawless Finish Blending Sponge). For a full guide to color correctors, read this.

Step 3: Blend out your color corrector gently, using a makeup sponge. 

Step 4: After the concealer is blended in well, proceed to applying your regular foundation.
