Color correcting Make Up For Flawless Skin

I remember all those years ago sitting in Janice Kott's cosmetology class wondering what the hell the color spectrum had to do with coloring my hair or making a blemish on my face go away. But as a sit with my extensive make up kit trying to cover up these dark circles under my eyes without putting on tons and ton’s of foundation and concealers that seem to highlight but not cover up my imperfections, it took me back to those High School days and why it is important to pay attention to the color wheel.

Opposites attract

As you look at the color wheel you will see that for each color there is a color on the opposite side of the color wheel to counter act it.

So for example in you have a bruise, that is bluish in color you need a color correcting product with a orange base, since orange is a natural opposite of the color blue.

Most common problems that women want to correct is excessive redness (rosacea, acne ) , bruising, or dark under eye circles.

Rosacea appears as excessive redness. So to combat excessive redness, use a color correcting palette that has a green base. (applied before your foundation).

To cover up dark circles that are purple in nature, use a color correcting palette that has a yellow base.

Sephora has a concealer color palette that has most of the color correction colors in them and at 20 they are a great value
