Nowadays various factors affect how your skin looks and feels. Thanks to our everchanging times, missing even a single night of sleep could make your face look tired and dull, and let’s not forget those alarming dark circles! Unhealthy eating and stress could cause your face to break out, leaving you with stubborn marks and blemishes that have pledged their loyalty to you for life.
These blemishes, pigmentation, dark spots, and dark circles also make it a point to show up even after layering your face with makeup. (P.S. We hope you don’t make the mistake of reapplying layers of makeup because that would only make your face look cakey and cause it to break out even more.) But, fear not, there’s still hope!
Yes, you guessed right! Whatever your skin concern is, be it acne, dark circles, redness, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation, color correctors are the solution to your problem. They play a vital role in achieving a flawless even base by concealing imperfections. Color correctors come in various formulas and shades that cater to different problems. But the question is…
Do Color Correctors Actually Work?
The answer to this question is YES! However, you must use a color corrector effectively to see impressive results. To do so, it is essential to know the different types of color correctors, shades, and formulas. If used correctly, color correctors can provide many benefits. Some of them are;
- Creating an even, blemish-free complexion

What are Different Color Correctors?
- Liquid Color Corrector: As the name suggests, these color correctors have a liquid formula and allow you to blend in the product effortlessly while feeling lightweight on your skin. You can either use a sponge, makeup brush, or your fingers to dab the product onto the areas of your face that require correcting. If you are looking for a liquid color corrector, our Take Cover Concealer is the best liquid color corrector for dark circles as it has a wide range of shades of concealers with color-correcting benefits.
- Cream Color Corrector: These color correctors have a creamy texture and are thicker, making them not as lightweight as liquid color correctors on the skin. However, the coverage they provide is unparalleled. You can apply your cream corrector wherever required using a brush or your fingertips.
How to Use a Color Corrector?
Knowing and understanding color theory is vital for using a color corrector effectively, but if you aren’t familiar with it that’s fine. All you need to know and remember is while color correcting, you should always use opposing colors than that which you are trying to balance.
If you’re still confused about it, we’ve further broken down the different shades of color correctors and their purpose.
- Green Color Corrector: One of the most common color correctors is the green color corrector which is used to counteract any redness on your face. Whether it is redness from being sunburnt, active acne, or blemishes, a green corrector neutralizes the redness and gives you an even complexion.
- Orange Color Corrector: This is the best color corrector for dark circles especially for medium and deep skin tones. The orange perfectly neutralizes the purplish-blue undertones, concealing any discoloration under your eyes. So you can finally say goodbye to those stubborn dark circles that are ruining your makeup look.
- Peach Color Corrector: This shade too works well for color correcting the under-eyes, especially for fairer skin tones. An orange shade on fair skin tones would be a bit too harsh and dark. However, peach is perfect as it is closer to the skin tone, offering a more natural-like finish.
- Yellow Color Corrector: This shade of color corrector is ideal for concealing and neutralizing blue/purple tones, making it ideal for camouflaging veins, bruises, or under-eye areas. It can also be used to brighten the skin or cover mild redness.
- Purple Color Corrector: Although they aren’t as commonly used as the green and orange correctors, purple color correctors also play a vital role. They help brighten the skin and conceal dark spots and hyperpigmentation. They also aid in canceling out yellowish undertones while evening out skin discoloration. If you’re struggling to find the perfect shade of purple color correctors, use our Shade Corrector Wheel X6 and mix red and blue with white to create the perfect shade of purple for your skin.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, color correctors are very effective in concealing dullness, redness, dark spots, dark circles, blemishes, hyperpigmentation, and purple/blue veins. By using color correctors you would be creating the most even and flawless base that wouldn’t even require as much makeup layering and enhance your overall application process significantly.
