What is color correcting?
Color correcting is a concealer technique that professional makeup artists have used for years and that went mainstream after social media got wind of the trend. Here,the color wheel determines which color of concealer willwork best on your blemish.
Colors that are opposite of one another on the color wheel cancel each other out. Green concealer cancels out red zits, purple concealer minimizes yellow spots, and orange concealer takes care of blue dark circles. If you apply this theory, thenyou can make your concealer work better for you.
The Basic Rules
Use the appropriate hue to cover blemishes, then lightly pat your foundation on over the color. When covering dark eye circles with orange or pink, apply your regular concealer over the bright pigments, then tap the makeup down with a beauty blender.
Take a peek at makeup guru Carli Bybel’s stunning tutorial, which begins at the 9:45 mark. Watch how she turns her rainbow look into a flawless finish.
Green Concealer
Green ConcealerFor redness, acne and rosacea
Green is opposite the color wheel from red, so it’s perfect for hiding any redness on your face, like pimples and acnescars. If you have rosacea, a color correcting green primer will help hide unwanted redness and give you an even base for applying foundation.
Orange Concealer
Orange ConcealerFor people with darker skin tones who have dark circles under their eyes
Orange is opposite from blue. If you have darker skin with blue dark circles, orange will work to help conceal the uneven undertones. People with lighter skin should avoid orange and instead use a peach color corrector.
Pink Concealer
Pink ConcealerFor people with lighter skin tones who have dark circles under their eyes
Pink concealer is usually salmon or peach in tone and is created from a mix of red, orange, and yellow hues. Since these colors are opposite from blue, green, and purple on the wheel, this corrector is best for hiding dark eye circles on lighter skin tones.
Yellow Concealer
Yellow ConcealerFor dark purple bruises, veins, and under eye circles
Yellow color correcting concealer can be used to cover up any blemish that’s purple in tone. Bruises, veins, and under eye circles can be hidden with a yellow spot concealer.
Purple Concealer
Purple ConcealerFor yellow skin tones and combatting dull complexion
Purple is best for combatting yellow undertones and brightening skin. Use a purple primer to remove yellow tones from your entire face or use a spot concealer to hide yellow spots.
The Dos & Don’ts of ApplyingColor Correcting Concealer
- Do choose the right hues for your skin. The effectiveness of color correctorsdepends on finding the right tone to match your blemish. Remember that orange is for dark skin and peach is for light skin.
- Do apply thin layers! A thick layer of corrector may show through your foundation.
- Don’t use colors that you don’t need. Color correcting concealer is meant to be used only on blemishes that are strong in appearance. For smaller less noticeable blemishes, a regular concealer will do.
- Do utilize a makeup sponge or beauty blender to pat the coverage into the skin. Don’t brush the colors all over your face. This will undo all the hard work you’ve done by moving the pigments into the wrong areas.
- Do remember that makeup should enhance your skin not hide it! So think of color correcting concealer as a fun extra step that’s to be used sparingly and don’t forget to let your natural face shine.

Hii! I have breakouts of red acne on basically the whole surface of both my cheeks but also a more yellow undertone as I’m Asian. Would putting on a green tinted primer then layering on a lavender tinted primer work? Or would they just cancel out and do nothing?
