Colour correcting is all about using neutralising shades to surprise, surprise “correct” skin-tone issues to give an even base for a flawless foundation application. Whether you’re looking to conceal dark circles, redness or simply crave an illuminating glow, we’ve got you covered.
Here, we’ve decoded four types of colour correctors to help you find best solution for your skin type and concerns.

Yellow

Yellow primers and concealers effectively knock out those dark circles and pigmentation by counteracting the purple and blue tones of the skin.
