Correctors & Concealers For Dark Skin

Until recently i was just use to applying concealer to cover under-eye darkness and then i was introduced to correctors. Correctors are different from concealers, Celebrity MUA Bobbi Brown defines it any based used to neutralise under-eye darkness or hyper-pigmentation . They come in various colours .

Random Correctors

Dark-Deep skin tones usually suffer from , under-eye darkness,hyper pigmentation and discoloration , therefore correcting them becomes more necessary than just concealing. Most dark - deep skin tone have their inner face too be more lighter than the outer face also lots of darkness under the eyes .In some cases, there are  lots of grayness around the mouth area and this needs be neutralized. All these skin imperfections needs to be corrected with suitable correctors before concealing.

Why Use Corrector ....

Correctors brightens the darkest areas under your eyes , the mouth area , allowing concealers to both lighten and blend according to Bobbi Brown . I use correctors to neutralise any skin discoloration before i apply concealer.

Concealers must be one to two shades lighter than your skin tone depending on the look you're going for. If you love Kim K's under eye brightens, then i will advice you use a concealer which is two shades lighter than your skin tone .

 

What's Suitable ......

For dark-deep skin tone  you need peach , orange , dark -to- very dark bisque colour correctors for it to work.
