Fear not, once we figure out, whether we need color correction, and then what type, its going to be real simple, and by that time you already know more than you think.
What is color correction ? This theory uses the basic concept of colors to “correct” discoloration. Its like how a blue based red lipstick makes yellow teeth appear white?

How to apply color corrector?
- Whether you apply colour corrector before or after concealer and foundation depends on the intensity of the discoloration you want to neutralize – and where it’s located. The under-eye area is easier to correct. If you need correction, you can mix peach or orange with your concealer to adjust the tone.
- For severely dark circles, lay down a light application of corrector, then apply concealer or foundation on top in a stippling or patting-with-fingertips motion.
- Based on your imperfections, you can use the colors to your choice and have a flawless skin without any imperfections.
How Expensive is this palette ? Its super affordable, priced at AED 85/-.
Available at Boots Pharmacy , Lifestyle gulf.
Will I Repurchase ? Definitely Yes !!! I feel this is a better option to carry a palette than to have individual colors, and sometimes it can solve other purpose as well, who knows !
I hope this has helped to understand this colour-correcting craze. Does everyone need to get on board? If your complexion looks great with a touch of concealer and some tinted moisturizer, not you. But if, no matter what you try, people keep asking whether you’re tired because your circles are showing, or you just can’t achieve a radiant complexion no matter what foundation you try, then yes, you want to spend some time in colour-correction class.
