Mastering the Art of Colour Correction: A Complete Guide to Flawless Skin
In the world of makeup, one of the most powerful techniques for achieving a flawless complexion is colour correction. Whether you're neutralizing redness, brightening dullness, or disguising dark circles, mastering this technique can transform your skin’s appearance. Understanding which shades work best for specific concerns is key, and when paired with the right products, it becomes your secret weapon for an even, radiant complexion.
In this guide, we’ll explore the basics of colour correction, how to select the right shades based on your skin tone and concerns, and how to use our range of liquid colour correctors and colour corrector palettes to achieve a perfect, natural look.
What is Colour Correction?
Colour correction is the technique of using different shades of makeup to neutralize skin discolorations. Whether you’re dealing with dark circles, redness, hyperpigmentation, or dullness, colour correction helps even out your skin tone before applying foundation or concealer.
The key to effective colour correction lies in understanding the colour wheel. Colours that are opposite one another on the wheel cancel each other out. For example, green cancels out redness, orange neutralizes blue or dark hues, and purple brightens yellow or sallow tones.
The Right Colour Corrector for Your Skin Concern
Now that you understand the basics, let's break down which shades work best for different skin concerns, focusing on our four liquid colour correctors and our colour corrector palettes.
The Peachy Colour Corrector is ideal for neutralizing light blue or purple undertones, making it perfect for brightening areas of dullness and disguising mild under-eye circles, especially on fair to medium skin tones. This corrector will give your complexion the brightening boost it needs. Simply apply it to areas like the under-eye region, around the mouth, or wherever you notice slight discoloration for a refreshed, even look.
For deeper blue or purple discolorations, like more intense under-eye circles or dark spots, the Profound Peachy Colour Corrector is your go-to solution. Ideal for medium to medium-deep skin tones, this richly pigmented shade effectively neutralizes stronger discolorations, creating a smooth, even canvas for your foundation and concealer. Focus application on areas with more pronounced pigmentation, such as dark spots, prominent under-eye circles, or areas of hyperpigmentation, for a flawless, balanced finish.
The Mandarine Colour Corrector, a bright orange shade, effectively neutralizes dark circles and hyperpigmentation on medium to deep skin tones by canceling out blue and purple hues. It provides excellent coverage for those struggling with intense dark circles or dark spots. Apply it in thin layers for best results, blending well before adding foundation or concealer. It's ideal for those with tan, deep, or olive skin tones looking to brighten and balance their complexion.
The Rose Colour Corrector is designed to brighten and counteract yellow undertones or sallowness in the skin. This soft pink shade works wonders on fair to medium skin tones that can appear dull, giving the complexion a fresh, healthy glow. Use it on areas where your skin looks yellow or lackluster, including the under-eye area, to create a more awake appearance. For those with lighter skin tones, the rose corrector revitalizes the skin, leaving you with a vibrant, radiant finish.
Choosing the Right Colour Corrector Palette for Your Skin Tone
In addition to liquid correctors, colour corrector palettes are a versatile and essential tool for any makeup routine. Our colour corrector palettes come in four shades—Light, Medium, Medium Deep, and Deep—to suit a wide range of skin tones and concerns.

This palette helps create a smooth, flawless base with ease.
Medium Deep Color Corrector Palette
For those with medium to deep skin tones, the Medium Deep Palette is the best option. This palette includes richer peach and orange hues that counteract deeper pigmentation issues. It’s ideal for addressing hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and under-eye circles in those with a tan or olive complexion.
