Spot the difference - colour correction

I've finally nailed colour corrective concealing. For the longest time I was fearful of using highly pigmented colour correctors, I used to use powder correctors.

I swallowed my fear and vowed to practice until I felt comfortable about blending concealers over colour corrective ones. It's tricky stuff and not something we were really taught at college, we were taught the theory but it wasn't until I left and tried it that I realised that it's actually really difficult to nail and I wish we had practised it more. So which dark circle has been colour corrected, right or left?

So I'll put you out of your misery, the one on the left is the one which looks better concealed under the eye. There is a much reduced shadow unlike the right hand side where I have not used any colour correction and just applied a fairly thick and creamy concealer by Alva Coleur* I didn't think this concealer would suit my skin tone as the foundations were a bit too light, however I am very pleased with the creamy consistency. When using this concealer, it is very creamy so use a finely milled powder to set it and do it quickly before it bleeds in to fine lines.
If you'd like a video tutorial about colour correction for dark circles, let me know by leaving a comment below... I am happy to make a video about it as if you suffer from very dark circles and want a good method of concealing, this might be for you.

  3. I chose the correct eye! Looks great! So what kind of colours correct dark circles? *Nothing* covers my dark circles. People always just load on the concealer on me... which just leaves me with really creasy, cakey undereyes. *sigh*.

    I have really bad dark circles under my eyes. Sometimes if I go out without concealing them I get funny looks, friends have often said "wow you have really dark areas under your eyes" :-(

  15. Very informative share. I agree with you in this matter. It is really very imperative that you know what types of audience you will have, so as you can prepare what needs to be prepared in the most suitable way.
