Green - Use a green corrector to counteract flush on all skin tones. They work wonders in cancelling out redness from acne, rosacea, sunburn, broken capillaries, and more. Pink - Brighten up dull light skin with pink correctors. It's the perfect shade that will help you fake a night of sleeplessness the next day. If your skin appears to be ashy and dehydrated, then pink correctors will breathe life back into your skin when applied like a primer. Yellow - If you have light to medium skin and have dark (blue-purple) undereye circles, then a yellow corrector would be your lifesaver. Touted as the most versatile color corrector, yellow can also conceal mild redness for all skin tones. Lavender - Let lilac and purple join this category as well since they come from the same vein. Lavender color correctors eliminates unpleasant yellow undertones in fair skin. It can also be mixed with liquid foundation to add radiance to your complexion. Apricot - If you have medium to dark skin with unwanted brown spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation as your main concerns, an apricot corrector will do a perfect job of concealing them. They can also combat blueness from bruises. Red - Camouflaging deep blue and green discolorations around the under eye area of tan to deep bronze skin is easy with red correctors. Red also evens out dark patches on the skin while imparting luminosity at the same time.
