Hiding or getting rid of skin imperfections can be fairly simple if you know the right products to use. In turn, it will also help boost your self image.
Before you try and conceal imperfections, you must decide which color corrector is right for you. When you correct your skin tone, you'll need to use the color that counteracts your problematic skin colors.
The trick is to use a color correcting concealer before you apply foundations. There are five correcting colors that will help lessen or blend unnatural tones or flaws in your complexion. Many are available in liquid or cream form. Color correctors help counterbalance underlying undesirable skin tones.
Blue helps make a blushing complexion seem paler.Of the five of these, green, beige, and white are the three correcting colors used to hide facial skin discoloration most often.
When correcting colors are worn under foundation, they provide a good base for the rest of your makeup and can help your makeup stay fresher longer.
Steps to Hide Facial Skin Discoloration
1) Pull your hair back out of your face. Thoroughly wash your face and apply a moisturizer. Wait about 5 minutes so that the moisturizer has time to absorb into the skin.
2) Choose the best correcting color for your complexion. Put a very small amount of the color corrector either on your fingertip or on a makeup sponge. Dab first, then spread the correcting color ONLY to the problem area(s). Make sure you get an even application and reapply the corrector where necessary.
3) Apply your foundation as normal. It does not matter what kind of foundation you use. I often use a cream beige concealer with mineral foundations
. You can mix and match them just fine. Just be sure that the color corrector is hidden. If not, then reapply your foundation until it disappears completely.
Concealing Undereye Circles
Great care must be taken when you're trying to hide dark under eye circles. You don’t want to go from looking like a zombie to looking like a clown! Many women overuse white or light colored concealers. If you do, you'll go from one unnatural look right into another one! That's a total blunder!
If you use a light colored corrector to hide dark circles, go easy on the amount you use... just don’t use much.
Use small amounts and always take the time to blend them thoroughly. Keep applying small amounts until your coverage is even and you are satisfied. It's always a good idea to warm up concealers by applying it to the back of your hand first. Just be sure your hands are clean and dry. Warmed concealers spread and blend more evenly than cooler ones.
Instead of using a standout white concealer, use a beige concealer. Why?
Because beige is not as stark as white and will blend into your natural tone more evenly. Just be sure to cover any concealer appropriately, with the right foundation for your skin tone. This also helps set it in place!
If you want to get rid of your discolorations, use fade creams
, hydroxy lotions like Neutrogena Healthy Skin
or skin bleaching creams
.
You can also get rid of dark skin patches by using a chemical peel. These chemicals are very strong but they do work extremely well at getting rid of dark patches of skin quickly!
You can also help diminish dark undereye circles by using vitamin K creams
regularly. Vitamin K has a proven track record of helping fade most skin discolorations no matter where they appear!
If you just can't find anything that works for your skin discolorations, use Dermablend Cover Creme
to help cover them completely. It has helped thousands of people get back their positive self image and it will help you too!
Used correctly, color correctors help hide and conceal most any facial skin discoloration. They truly help any problem complexion look healthy and radiant!
