Dark circles and pigmentation can quickly become the bane of your entire existence, but it doesn’t have to be. While serums and skincare products help fade uneven skin over time, sometimes, you just need a quick fix, which is where colour correctors come into play.
Colour correctors are typically applied underneath foundation and concealer and help cancel out darkness using colour theory. The concept involves using the opposite shade on the colour wheel to balance out discolouration. For example, the opposite of blue is orange, so you would use orange to conceal blue.
If that sounds like something you need right away, then keep reading because we’ve curated our favourite colour correctors for uneven skin.
