If you’ve ever felt like your concealer just isn’t quite enough—your under-eyes still look tired, redness keeps coming through, or your skin just seems a bit off—colour correcting could be the step you’re missing.
But don’t worry, it’s not nearly as complicated as it sounds. Once you know which shade goes where, it becomes one of the easiest ways to use less makeup and still get a beautifully even finish.
Here’s your quick guide to colour correction with the Perfect Cover Colour Concealer—what to use, where to place it, and how to keep the look seamless.
Green for Redness
Green neutralises red, making it ideal for covering blemishes, flushing, or areas around the nose and chin that often get red. Dab a tiny amount of green concealer onto the spot using your finger or the tip of a damp Perfect Blender. Blend lightly, then apply your usual base on top.
Peach for Dark Circles
If your under-eyes lean blue, purple, or grey-toned, a peach or salmon concealer can bring warmth and brightness. This is especially helpful for deep shadows. Press the peach shade into the inner corner and along the under-eye area using a soft tapping motion, then follow with your regular Concealer for a natural, refreshed look.
Yellow for Dullness or Purple Tones
Yellow works well to brighten sallow skin and neutralise purple tones (think under the eyes or on areas where your skin looks uneven or tired). Use it sparingly and blend well to create an even base for foundation.
The Key: Less is More
With colour correcting, you’re not aiming to fully cover—just to neutralise. Start with a small amount, blend it in, and then apply your cushion or concealer as usual. The Glow Compact or Matte Compact both pair beautifully with corrector, offering a soft, skin-like finish without masking your complexion.
Why It Works
Instead of layering more concealer and foundation, you’re gently balancing the tones beneath. This means your skin looks more even with fewer layers—and your makeup looks fresher, longer.
