Color correctors are a knight in shining armor for times when facial makeup doesn’t turn out the way it was expected, and dark circles, pigmentations, and dark spots manage to peek through makeup.

Color correction is the method of using skin complementing color correctors that are lightweight and have the texture of a cream concealer. Color correction is a go-to technique for makeup artists as it creates a flawless base.

The colors used are opposite to the skin spectrum and work by cancelling the skin’s colors. This results in an even skin tone, and the color correctors used are available in shades of:

  • Green: Targets red tones in the skin caused by acne, rosacea, or sensitivity.
  • Peach: Peach color correctors combat blue and purple undertones, such as pigmentation and dark circles
  • Blue or Lavender: Corrects yellow skin found under the eyes and the cheeks
  • Yellow: Targets eye bags, dark spots, and pigmentation

This listicle is the ideal amalgamation of the five best color correctors to tone down redness and dark circles, among other correction-prone facial areas.
