13 Color-Correcting Products That Will Give Your Makeup A Seamless Finish

If concealer can't cover it, these color-correcting products will.
13 Color-Correcting Products That Will Give Your Makeup A Seamless Finish
By Jailynn Taylor · Updated June 13, 2022

Have you ever gone in to conceal your dark circles, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation and noticed after the fact you could still see the dark marks? You can pack it on and bake as much as you want, but it just doesn’t have that seamless finish. Or you could opt for a full coverage foundation, but on those days, you want to keep it simple and spot correct; this option isn’t realistic. So, how do you get full coverage on discolored areas? A small step before applying your concealer that many skip could be the answer to your problem— color correction.

When it comes to choosing the best color correction shade for you, one color might do better at concealing than another. Many don’t know the process of color theory, so it can be intimidating to choose a color corrector that is best for your discoloration. If you want to cover dark circles, redness, or hyperpigmentation, a brief on each color-correcting shade will put you one step closer to that even skin tone.

  • Yellow: is best for concealing brownish-purple spots for lighter skin tones.
  • Pink: neutralizes dark circles on fairer skin tones. It also can be worn alone as a highlighter for extra lift.
  • Green: counteracts any redness from blemishes or inflammation.
  • Lavender: helps balance skin complexions with a yellow undertone.
  • Orange: best for deeper skin tones to brighten up the face.
  • Red: cancels out dark spots and blue tones for those with darker skin tones.

Now that you know what colors are best for blemishes and shadows under your concealer, it’s time to shop for the best of the best. Here are 13 color-correcting products sure to give your skin a flawless finish.
