Instead of using half a tube of concealer everyday to hide your blemishes color correct them instead. You just need to have a simple understanding of color theory and the color wheel to master the technique. Colors positioned opposite from each other on the wheel will cancel each out when placed on top of each other. My teacher in beauty school taught me a very basic phrasing to remember the principles of color correction: Lakers, Christmas, Mets. Lets break that down.
Purple/Yellow
The Lakers uniform colors are yellow and purple. So purple can be used to neutralize yellowish casts of the skin while yellow can be used to neutralize purplish marks.

Red/Green
The iconic Red & Green combo is symbolic of Christmas time. For fair complexions, redness can occur as a symptom of stubborn conditions such as rosacea, port wine mark or chronic acne. Green color corrector cancels out any sign or redness on the skin.

Orange/ Blue
Individuals with deeper skin tones do not suffer from redness however they may see darkness around the mouth or have scarring from acne. Darkness in the under eye area is a universal condition. I've had clients with dark circles so severe that were so disappointed after trying every concealer on the market to hide their circles they were virtually out of options. That is until I introduced them to an orange or salmon color corrector. The dark blue black discolorations can be neutralized by placing the orange or salmon in the affected area.

Many companies make color correction products to satisfy a wide range of budgets. I will say invest in the best product you can afford. You will save money by using less concealer and less of your color correction product. In another post I will talk to you about my favorite color correction products, what I use personally for myself and some of the items in my MUA kit. I hope this information was effective in helping you understand the science of color correction and a bit of color theory.
