To pursue a pristine, immaculate complexion is to accept that colour correctors are an inevitable part of the equation. While the foundation and concealer formulas of today are potent enough to cover a degree of imperfections, beauty veterans are quick to point out that colour correctors are what ensure a cohesive canvas. This begs the question: how do you pick the right colour and texture for your complexion? The answer, it seems, lies in the type of discolouration you have.
The general consensus is this: you’ll best be able to identify the shades you need by taking a selfie in natural light, right by the window. From there, look at your problem areas and the colour it comes in. You can then look at a colour wheel and opt for the shade opposite to neutralise its effects. For example, peach works great when it comes to blue veins as well as dark eye circles. The redness caused by rosacea and blemishes, on the other hand, can be cancelled out with a healthy helping of green. Purple tones typically seen in hyperpigmentation are balanced out when orange comes into play. All of this to say that there is a solution out there for every issue—as long as you know where to look.
To help you along with that, Vogue Singapore presents an edit of the most stellar colour correctors to try this season. Shop them all, below.
