Social media is filled with many techniques when it comes to makeup applications Color Correcting is one of them. Color Correcting is something that has been done for many years by makeup artists it can be overwhelming at first, but it's not as complicated as it may seem. I know painting your face with colors of the rainbow may appear a bit odd but trust me understanding the color wheel, the application and blending it properly will elevate your foundation routine to a whole new level. If you aren't familiar with the system of color correcting I will try my best to break it down and make it simple and easy so you can incorporate color correcting technique into your everyday looks.
- Green- It neutralize redness, rosacea, sunburns, and pimples.
- Purple- It cancels yellow, brightens dullness and sallow undertones.
- Peach- It cancels blue, covers dark circles, and covers hyperpigmentation.
- Yellow- It cancels purple/blue undertones and corrects mild redness.
- Red- It cancels green, corrects dark undereye circles and its great on dark skin tones.
- Blue- It cancels orange discoloration and brightens fair skin tones.
These are some of the most common ones you'll spot in a palette there are more shades such as orange, pink and so on. Recently I made the mistake of overdoing it on my skincare routine so I had to deal with painful red pimples and now I'm left to deal with the spots. I had a few events during my bad skin phase, so I pulled out a few color correctors in my collection green and peach. I was dealing with redness and pigmentation/acne spots from the breakouts and green, and peach correctors were the perfect solution to my problem.

I have two green correctors that I've been using one from Ipkn which is a corrector with SPF 15, and the other one is by Algenist. Green correctors will cancel out redness in the skin. If you have large red pimples Ipkn green corrector is an excellent choice, it's thicker in consistency, and it provides full coverage. If you have a large area to cover such as rosacea or sunburn use a liquid corrector, in that case, Algenist green corrector will be the perfect option.

Algenist Apricot Color Correcting Drops
I've always been a huge fan of peach/orange correctors cause being a night owl comes with a price. If you have dark undereye circles, then peach/orange correctors is a step you shouldn't skip in your makeup routine! Peach shades cancel the grey-blue hue tones in the dark under eye circles. On light skin tone, the peach shade will correct uneven skintone and on darker skin orange will work the best. The one I'm currently using is the Algenist Apricot Color Correcting Drops, it has a liquid consistency it's very lightweight, and it blends in seamlessly. You can mix this product with your primer, moisturizer or foundation but I prefer using it alone I apply a small amount on the areas I want to correct, and I press it and let it sink in before applying my concealer or foundation.
