And if you are looking for options that won’t burn a hole in your pocket, the colour corrector price in Pakistan will leave you in disbelief at just how affordable this stuff can be.

Here’s the ultimate guide to color correctors for application and understanding perfectly.

What Is a Color Corrector?

A color corrector is a cream or liquid makeup product that is carefully formulated to cancel out the appearance of skin discoloration before you apply your concealer/foundation. It is based on the idea of the color wheel, in which opposite colors cancel each other out.

For example:

• Green cancels redness.

• Orange eliminates blue or purple tones.

• Yellow brightens dullness.

Whereas plain concealers only mask blemishes, colour correctors go under your makeup and cancel out uneven shades so that you have a uniform base to build on.

Uses of Color Correcting in Makeup

Color correcting is not only about concealing imperfections, it’s about creating a smooth, even canvas so your foundation can look natural and flawless. This is why makeup devotees swear by it:

• Tone down under-eye circles: An Orange Corrector cancels out those blue or purple-hued dark circles.

• Diminishes redness: A Green Corrector helps mask acne scars, acne rosacea, and other general redness.

• Neutralises yellowness: A Yellow Corrector that adds warmth and neutralises purple under eye puffiness.

• Balances discoloration: From hyperpigmentation to sunspots, correctors can help even everything out.

When done properly, colour correcting makes your concealer and foundation work smarter, not harder.

The best part of color correcting is you don’t have to spend a fortune. From local heroes to high end brands, you’ll find a lot of choices at Reana under supper friendly prices. 

Corrector vs Concealer: Which Is Best?

It's confusing to think about color correctors in relation to concealers, but you should just know that they serve different functions in your essence routine:

• Corrector: Balances discoloration (green neutralizes red, orange neutralizes blue, and so on). Applied first.

• Concealer: Conceals and illuminates after correction. Generally concealers are skin toned or slightly lighter.

Think of it like this:

Corrector = prep work.

Concealer = finishing touch.

You could cover your under eye area with Orange Corrector and add a skin toned LA Girl HD Pro Concealer on top if you like that perfect, bright look.

Using a Color Corrector the Right Way

In order to get the desired results, you must know the right application ways: 

• Begin with the basics: Always prepare your skin beforehand by moisturizing and using a primer.

• A little dab will do you: Less is more with this product, use very small amounts of the corrector where necessary.

• Dab lightly: Dab it on with your finger, brush or a damp sponge and blend into skin.

• Conceal with concealer: Top it off with your best concealer, recommend L A Girl HD Pro Concealer for a flawless finish.

• Powder: Very lightly powder with a translucent powder (to prevent creasing).

They may look like they belong in a builder’s tool box and feel challenging at first, but knowing how to use color correctors will transform them into one of your best make up pals. 

Whether it’s the Orange Corrector for those stubborn dark circles, Green Corrector to reduce redness and the Yellow Corrector to add some brightness, you will certainly see a difference in your total appearance.
