Color Correcting 101

Color correcting can be confusing at times. There’s so many colors that it can be frustrating to know what color goes where. This blog is here to help you and guide you to the world of color correcting. Seat back and enjoy!


The four basic colors when it comes to color correct are: green, yellow, orange, and purple.

Green Concealers:

This color helps neutralizes the color red. This color is great to apply when u have any redness on your face. Use a green based spot concealer to remove redness like an annoying zit, or any acne scars. If you have rosacea, windburn or sunburn, then a color correcting green primer will be best to significantly reduce redness and give an even toned base for flawless foundation application.

Yellow Concealers:

The purpose of yellow concealers is to hide purple or blue bruises, veins, and under eye circles. This color is typically great for evening out skin tone and to give a brighter appearance to your skin. Depending on your skin tone, they can also be a perfect as an eye shadow base if you don’t have an eye primer for your eye shadow.

Orange Concealers:

This orange color concealer is perfect for people with darker skin tones looking to hide dark circles or other spots with deep discoloration. For lighter skin tones, orange concealer can help out with dark circles underneath your eyes and for a light contouring as a liquid bronzer.

Purple Concealer:


As you probably guessed, purple is directly across from yellow on the color wheel. To remove yellow tones from your entire face, consider a color correcting purple primer. People with a pasty, dull, yellow complexion will love how a purple concealer or primer adds a beautiful glow to their face.
