Most of us probably have a concealer in our makeup bag but how many of us have correctors. I'm betting not many and I can tell you, once you've used these indispensable little gems you'll wonder how you ever lived without them - I know I do!
Many people it seems are a little unsure as to what the difference is between a concealer and a corrector, so let's do a little explaining.
Both are formulated into a base and can be dry powder, pressed into a palette or liquid.
They basically work like this, a colour that is opposite on the colour wheel neutralises its opposing counterpart. It is much easier to see this on a colour wheel for yourself, so pop colour wheel into the search engine of your computer, you will be spoilt for choice.
It is also worth noting that different skin tones and undertones will require the same colours to correct but possibly a different intensity of colour.
They are always applied before foundation on clean, moisturised skin and it may take a few attempts to get the application right. Start off by applying small pin prick amounts, you can always add more. You definitely don't want to look like you've just dropped off another planet!
So, as you can see there is quite a big difference between a concealer and a corrector and although concealers have their place in our handbags, so do correctors and the best news of all is you can make them yourself!
