Magically Conceal Facial Skin Discoloration

Any facial skin discoloration can make you feel self conscious and unattractive.

Blemishes, rosacea, age spots, scars, and other imperfections can make you feel undesirable or unappealing.

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.

Color Correcting Guide

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.

  • Green helps conceal redness or broken veins.

  • Purple helps correct a yellowish complexion.

  • White helps to cover and correct dark under-eye circles and skin dullness.

  • Beige helps cover age spots and blemishes.

  • 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 hiding black under eye circles. You won’t want to go from looking like a zombie to looking like a clown! Many women overuse white or light colored concealers under their eyes. If you do, you will go from one unnatural look right into another one! That's a total blunder!

    If you use a white or light color corrector under your eyes to hide dark circles, so please don’t use much.

    Use petite small amounts and always take the time to blend them thoroughly. Keep applying small amounts until your coverage is even and you are satisfied. When you use concealers, a good idea is to warm it up by applying it to the back of your hand first. Just be sure your hands are clean when you do this. Warm concealers spread and blend more evenly than cool 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 Face Lotion or Olay Age Defying Beta Hydroxy Cream, and whitening systems skin bleaching creams.

    You can also get rid of dark skin patches by using a chemical peel. You must take great care when you use these as they are very strong, but they do work extremely well at getting rid of dark patches of skin permanently!

    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 facial skin discoloration. They can help any problem complexion look healthy and radiant!
