Peach/Salmon/Orange Color Correction!

Post by wonny » Mon Jan 26, 2015 9:54 pm

So I posted a question a while ago about ashyness/discoloration around my mouth, and I think I figured out how to solve it! I found some great videos talking about why we should use peachy concealers for around our eyes, for every skin tone, but especially women of color for hyperpigmentation/discoloration around the face (since people of color are prone to them b/c of extra melanin and such) as well:

^ This video shows a makeup artist of color demonstrating how you can cut down on using foundation/concealer by tons just by using a peachy/orange corrector on the discoloration before foundation (I really needed this, so cool!!).

^ And this is a video of Jordan Liberty talking about biggest makeup mistakes (and he's very adamant about peach concealers in every video he does) - he also has really cool videos on contouring, explaining why we contouring with cool colors instead of bronzers look more natural for every skin tone that you can check out.

I got super excited because I'm always piling on thick cover up because of my loads of PIH and ashyness around my mouth and I remembered that I picked up a sample of SN's HD peach concealer a while back! I'm going to try this technique out with it tomorrow. I'm super excited! The only thing is that the sample I have is too light for my skin. :S

I hope this helped someone!

These videos are really helpful, thank you for posting! I too have a sample of SN's peach concealer that I can bring out again to try.
