Celebrity makeup artist Namrata Soni explains the technique. “Color-correcting involves using color tones to neutralize problem areas on the face by taking cues from the color wheel so that the skin looks more even toned.” Look around, there’s no dearth of color correctors in the market, with every brand from L.A. Girl and Makeup Revolution to NYX Professional Makeup and Nykaa launching products designed to target (and cover up) blemishes with shades in greens, purples, pinks, peaches and yellows.
Did you know green hues from L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD (Orange, Green & Yellow Corrector) neutralize redness caused by rosacea, acne, broken capillaries and sunburn? Meanwhile, peach and orange shades from the Nykaa SKINgenius Conceal & Correct Palette - Correct & Contour target blue and purple-tinted under-eye dark circles, while the pink shade from the Makeup Revolution Camouflage Corrector Palette brightens and highlights the eye area to make you look wide-awake and bushy tailed after a (very) late night out. Pinks work marvellously to brighten areas like the area around the lips, smile lines and under the brow bone. Finally, yellow correctors from Ferrarucci Concealer Corrector And Contour Color Palette – 1 targets purple and brown blemishes caused by pigmentation, bruising and dark spots. “Yellow is also great for concealing sun spots and freckles on the cheeks and forehead, says Namrata.
