The Ultimate Guide to Color Correcting

Color to Use: Lavender

Why This Works: "The purple-toned color corrector is typically used under makeup as an overall brightening and highlighting color," Scibelli says. "This color cancels out dull skin tones, hyperpigmentation, and combats yellow, sallow undertones."

How to Use It: Create long, half-moon-shaped strokes using a purple-toned product like the L.A. Girl HD Pro Corrector Concealer ($5) in the same way recommended for light to medium skin tones, and apply an "X" over any hyperpigmentation or sun spots that are visible on the face.
