You’ve been using color corrector all wrong

The second thing you need to focus on is the color corrector product you use. “Your skin can look too light or your concealer might peek through your foundation if you use the wrong shade,” explains Sir John. In other words, you need to select the shade of color corrector carefully as certain colors work better on certain skin tones. As a general rule, green neutralises redness, lavender neutralizes yellowness, peach hides dark circles, and yellow brightens, and as Reader’s Digest reminds us, you shouldn’t just assume that one color is all you need. You might need different color correctors for different areas of your face.

In terms of application, Sir John advises applying color corrector after foundation. “Apply lightly with your fingertips, and the warmth of your skin will help blend the product with your skin tone,” he instructs. The last thing you want is for there to be too much buildup of product or for it to look unnatural, so blending is key.
