mix as well as match your primers!
I don’t truly have many areas that I feel would benefit from me doing a separate color-correcting step. The primary area for me is under my eyes, so it depends upon the person. It’s not something I do every day, just since I’m usually going for the natural look these days as well as I don’t want to be puttin’ on layer upon layer of makeup, so I’d state that it’s moderately important to me.
Sometimes when my dark circles are especially dark, I will color correct them very first with a peach/orange primer, then set it with powder, as well as then I’ll top it with a concealer in a shade that’s better to my natural skin tone. I’ll do this since my dark circles are a purplish blue, as well as if I just go directly on top of them with a yellow-based concealer, they can look grayish (especially in pics).

But the orange corrector cancels out the blue, to ensure that when I put my concealer on top, it looks natural.
There are other type of color-correcting products, too, as well as they can make a significant difference. In one of the free Sephora beauty classes I went to (you should totally go!), the design was extremely fair-skinned as well as had red areas on her cheeks, so the instructor utilized a eco-friendly corrector to cancel out the red before she used foundation as well as concealer on top.
It looked amazing. I couldn’t even tell there’d been any type of red on the model’s skin at all.

I set whichever one I utilize with NARS Translucent Crystal Light Reflecting pressed setting Powder. as well as right here are some extra tips on exactly how I utilize color correcting primers in general.

For me, it’s mainly a step I’ll do when I’m doing a full-on makeup look. It’s not something I do every day, however I’m curious. Is color correcting part of your routine makeup routine, or is it a once-in-a-while thing for you?
