That's right - professional palettes of corrective products offer you to hide skin imperfections with lavender, green or orange tones. Don't pass by, if used correctly, you will see in the mirror not colored spots, but perfect skin.
Green helper: What is the corrector for mint color?
Most girls are into green concealersare biased: the bright color of the product, which seems impossible to “cover up” with foundation or powder, is frightening. But once you decide to buy it, you will love it forever. Why does the concealer have such an intense shade? The saturation with green pigments is due to the “magic” properties of this color. If you have ever seen a color wheel, you know that the tones that are located directly opposite each other in it are able to visually “neutralize” each other. Green is “paired” with red. Thus, it turns out that the corrector of this color hides redness, which is usually characteristic of allergic rashes, acne and burst small vessels. Using it, you will hide unnecessary redness, and not just slightly reduce it, as in the case of a flesh tone. This concealer should become a real must-have for girls suffering from dermatological problems. It has a dense structure, the color range is from light green to swamp shade. Such concealers are produced in the form of a pencil-stick or packaged in glass jars. Much less common on the market are powder or gel options.
How to choose a green proofreader?
As already mentioned above, the ideal remedymust have a thick consistency to reliably hide imperfections of the skin of the face. If the seller praises the liquid corrector for the lightness of the texture and ease of application, do not fall for advertising tricks. The higher the density of the composition, the more pigmented its tone. This green concealer is used very economically - in order to mask the vascular "mesh" under the eyes, two drops will be enough. It is especially convenient to do this with a pencil-shaped product. Correctors differ in the level of durability (resistant and ultra-resistant) and by skin type (there is a "masking" designed for oily, combination, dry or normal skin). A stick or cream for oily skin has a matting effect, for dry skin - contains moisturizing components. A dark concealer is suitable for dark skin, for light skin - a pale green or herbal shade.
Technique of application
Using Green Concealer – Step 1applying makeup. Apply a small amount of day cream to a cleansed face. It is much easier and faster to spread the concealer over moisturized skin. If you have oily skin and you are afraid that the makeup will “float” and redness will become visible again, use a mattifying fluid. The corrector can emphasize wrinkles, this unwanted “bonus” will be especially noticeable on dry skin. To avoid this, replace your regular face cream with a makeup base with a toning effect. Such products usually contain caffeine, glycolic acid or menthol - these components have instant tightening properties. Do not even think of applying concealer over foundation or powder - green pigments will not be absorbed into the skin, so your face will be “decorated” with colored streaks. The product in a stick or pencil is too hard to use a sponge for application. It is applied with stroke-like movements - for example, two or three “strokes” will be enough for the area around the eyes. To mask single rashes and broken blood vessels, put a thick "blot"-dot on the redness. Blend it thoroughly with your fingers, only lightly touching, in no case rubbing the green concealer into the skin. The compact version requires mixing dry powder with a small amount of transparent makeup base - it greatly enhances the toning effect. Apply the resulting mixture to problem areas with a wide flat brush or an applicator with a beveled edge. If the redness is too "large-scale", add a little yellow or light orange concealer. Some correctors have a drying and antibacterial effect. In order for the healing components to act and penetrate the skin, replace the cleansing gel with a scrub - it will open the pores, cleansing them of dirt and excess sebum. Before applying makeup, wait a few minutes for better absorption. After completing the color correction, take your usual foundation. If you are bothered by dark circles under your eyes, use a cream half a tone lighter than usual to eliminate them - this will refresh your face and hide bruises. A cream or gel tone is suitable for use in a "duet" with a color corrector. By choosing them, you can vary the density of the masking and the thickness of the coating on individual areas of the face, while a cream powder or powder tone will accentuate age-related changes in the skin. You will also have to put aside a highlighter and any other cream with light-reflecting particles: the glow will emphasize the unnatural bulge left after masking the pimple. Do you want to see how the concealer works in advance to assess the importance of such a purchase or are you short on funds? A practical and economical option is green matte shadows, without shimmer and mother-of-pearl. Use them as you would a regular dry corrector.
