It's not as scary as it sounds; it's all about knowing what colors go where. Let's take it way back to elementary school when we learned about the color wheel. On a color wheel, there's colors called COMPLEMENTARY COLORS, theses colors are what we will be working with when we color correct. Complementary colors are colors that are across from each other on the color wheel. For example, red and green are diagonal from each other which mean they complement each other. Blue and orange; purple and yellow; these are all complementary colors.
Okay, let's talk about how this works, the science behind color correcting! So you wake up one morning and have a huge, red pimple on your face. Concealer just isn't going to cut it. What do you do? Using NYX Color Correcting Palette, you would take a small amount of the green concealer and cover your pimple. Watch as the green cancels out the redness of your pimple. Once you've blending the green concealer onto the red blemish, finish off your face by putting your favorite foundation and completing your foundation/concealer routine. Since green is complementary to red, green concealer will cover all red imperfections on your skin.
Hyper-pigmentation around the mouth is troublesome to cover up. If you have a light complexion, a pink concealer will bring that area back to life and cover up the darkness. For ladies with a tan or darker skin tone, orange will cover the hyper pigmentation for you!
Dark circles? Cover them up with an orange concealer. Since dark circles have blue undertones to them, orange concealer will wipe them away!
Don't be afraid to use colors to conceal, you will get a perfect, even toned finish to your makeup look! Try this beauty tip and let me know what you think about it.
