Let’s go through all you need to know when it comes to applying colour correctors.

What is Colour Correcting?

Simply put, it is the art of concealing skin defects with different hues of ‘correctors’. The colour corrector guide enables you to achieve different makeup looks ranging from nude makeup looks to boldface beats. 

Your Guide to Using the Right Colour Corrector Shade

Nude makeup looks

Before deciding what colour-correcting shade to use, you should understand the exact issue you are trying to cover. It could be a zit or an embarrassing under-eye circle. However, the right shade addresses its specific problem.

1. Colour Correctors for Dark Circles

When staring back at the bluish colour of dark circles on your face, go for an orange or peach shade. If you have a fair skin tone – your best bet is the peach tone. Contrarily, if yours is a medium tone, go for the bisque tone, and lastly, if you have a darker tone, use the orange shade.

FAQs

1. Can I use a Colour Corrector without my Foundation?

Yes, you can, as long as you can blend the colour corrector with a normal concealer from Femica. You could also follow up with translucent powder to keep the colour corrector on hold.

2. Can I Substitute my Colour Correctors with Lipstick?

You can use creamy lipsticks from Femica makeup products in place of colour correctors as long as you use the right shade. A pro tip is to use balmy lipstick formulas rather than matte types to achieve proper blending.

3. How long Should I leave on a Colour Corrector?

If you have on dark shades of correctors, you can leave it for up to an hour. Then for medium shades, try letting it set for 20-30 minutes. Finally, if yours is a lighter shade, 10-20 minutes could do the job.

Wrapping Up

Properly understanding the dynamics of applying colour correctors lies in comprehending the colour wheel. When neutralising those dark spots and evening out your skin tone, the colour theory should help you pick the right colours. 

And if you’re looking for premium quality, Femica makeup products offer various shades of colour correctors to suit all face blemishes.
