If you suffer from rosacea or your skin often shows redness, then you definitely know how difficult it is to get an even base with makeup. Even the most covering foundations or concealers often fail to completely cover the red shades on the face. However, there is a solution! Green color correctors, or green concealers, are the most effective product to combat redness. Although their color looks unusual, the effect is impressive, as long as you know how to use it correctly.

How does green concealer work?

To understand how green concealer works, take your mind back to school and think about the color wheel. Remember how we learned that green is the opposite color of red? This means that a layer of green concealer over red marks neutralizes the redness. The application of the green concealer can noticeably reduce the red areas of the face, giving you an even tone.

This rule also applies to other color contrasts. For example, peach concealer can reduce purple tones that appear under the eyes, while yellow is ideal for covering blue or green marks. So, the knowledge of the color wheel that we gained from painting classes can be useful much later in our life, in makeup.

The right way to apply

Once you understand the philosophy behind green concealer, the next step is to apply it properly. Always start with your skin care. Apply the care products (cleanser, moisturizer, etc.) and then apply your foundation to create the first base. Then, lightly apply the green corrector to the areas with redness or blemishes.

Complete the look with the normal concealer in the color of your skin. This step will help to completely cover the green tone and create a natural effect. This way, the green concealer will neutralize the redness and the regular concealer will blend in perfectly with the rest of the face.

Tips for flawless makeup

Product sequence: It is important to use the green concealer after the foundation. If you put it on first, you may need more products and the result will not be as natural.

Color choice: Green concealer is most effective on fair or medium skin tones as its color looks more natural and matches these skin tones better.

With this procedure, you can easily cover the redness and get an even, healthy skin, without the need for multiple layers of makeup. Try it and you will see the difference in your appearance!
