Color Correcting 101: The Skincare-Infused Guide to a Flawless Canvas

Have you ever layered foundation over a dark circle or a breakout only to find it looking grey or muddy? Traditional high-coverage makeup often masks the skin, but it doesn't always neutralize the underlying tones.

That's where Correct+ comes in. It's our line of five versatile, high-performance correctors designed to vanish stubborn dark circles, acne scars, and redness. Built with the same creamy consistency as our fan-favorite Conceal+, these aren't just makeup—they are potent skincare treatments formulated to brighten, treat, and plump your skin while you wear them.

Meet Your Perfect Match

Color correcting is all about the science of the color wheel. By using a complementary hue, you cancel out the unwanted tone. Here is how to find your exact shade:

Correct+ Eyebright (Yellow)

  • Best For: Fair to medium skin tones.
  • Why it works: Infused with resveratrol, pomegranate, and caffeine, this formula acts like an instant nap. It neutralizes purple and grey shadows while actively fading dark circles over time.
  • Pro Tip: Use it as a shadow primer on your eyelids to keep your eye makeup vibrant and crease-free.

Correct+ Green

  • Best For: Redness, broken capillaries, rosacea, and breakouts (fair to medium tones).
  • Why it works: Don't let the green fool you; it’s a redness-erasing powerhouse. Packed with licorice root and green tea, it soothes irritation and reduces inflammation at the source while hiding the flush. Our founder swears by this corrector to conceal redness during rosacea flare-ups and post-workout to calm down a flushed complexion.

Correct+ Pink

  • Best For: Fair to light skin tones.
  • Why it works: Think of this as a targeted wake-up call for fair complexions. This soft pink hue perfectly neutralizes cool-toned blue or olive shadows and brightens sallow areas. It cancels out tired pigments to ensure your concealer looks fresh and luminous, never flat or dull.

Correct+ Peach

  • Best For: Light to medium skin tones.
  • Why it works: This customer staple uses white tea and safflower extracts to firm and brighten. It’s specifically designed to neutralize blue-hued dark circles and stubborn sunspots.

Correct+ Deep Peach

  • Best For: Medium-tan to deep skin tones.
  • Why it works: This shade packs the same firming punch as our classic Peach but is calibrated for deeper complexions. It effortlessly corrects brown or blue-toned shadows and hyperpigmentation.

How to Master the Application

Correcting is a strategic first step. To keep your look seamless, follow this simple routine:

  1. Prep: Always start with hydrated skin. Apply Eye C Firm and your favorite moisturizer to ensure a smooth glide.
  2. Placement: Apply a few small dots only to the area that needs neutralizing. The formula is very concentrated, so a little goes a long way (for example, just the darkest part of the under-eye or the center of a red blemish).
  3. The Tap Technique: Using your finger, gently tap and press the product into the skin. Never swipe, as this moves the pigment away from the area you’re trying to hide.
  4. Layer: Once the unwanted tone is neutralized, tap your shade of Conceal+ or Foundation+ directly on top. Again, use a pressing motion to keep the corrector in place underneath. Finish with Bamboo Hyaluronic Loose Setting Powder for extended wear and a silky smooth finish.
