Making your own concealer/corrector is really easy. All you need is a Pink/Red or Orange lipstick. I used OCC lip tars but a lipstick is just the same.

By combining these colours with your own concealer you start to rearrange the colour making a corrector. A plus is that you also change the texture of the concealer - so if you have a concealer that is very dry in texture you can make it more emollient by adding the lipstick.

Go slow, build colour gradually.

Learning to use correctors can massively change your face by adding BRIGHTNESS rather than lightness.

Women of colour can really benefit from correctors because they cancel out the ashiness that can often result from using a concealer that is too light.

Personally speaking i prefer a more "bisque" shade of corrector than peach/salmon but this is a personal choice. They look amazing.

  • MAN, you are good. That just earned you a sub !! Thankyou!!

  • @meeeesshh thats what you do to keep it sanitary for use on clients, instead of sticking your fingers in it, or using a brush thats already touched someone's face. :)

  • @delia85275 green!

  • What color would you use to correct redness?

  • Oh em gee, I love you! ... xD

    But seriously, couple days ago I made my own concealer but it looked ashy/cakey when I put it on. Now, I added this kind of peachy/orangey color now it looks like I have nothing on! <3 I never really thought of using lip gloss/lipstick as a corrector.

  • thank you for actually including women of colour in your explanations. i feel like our existence is completely ignored with most makeup artists x

  • great tip. thank you so much!

  • @pajamagirl123 use a medium peach toned lipstick or tar, not a gloss i suggest

  • Amazing.
