Color concealers: everything is simple if you know!

Many use concealers of corporal shades. And here what to do with color – not always know. And in vain. They can correct very many shortcomings of skin: from dark circles under eyes and pigmentary spots to speakers of veins (and not only on a face). Let's understand for what color in concealers is necessary.

Defects of skin about which we are distressed most often have the color: reddish heat-spots, gray-blue circles under eyes, yellow pigmentary spots, red freckles, brown birthmarks, etc. To neutralize these color spots, other color is necessary. If to do everything on science, then so-called "opposite color" is necessary. The color circle which represents couples of flowers means. The shades located in this circle opposite to each other are also called opposite. For example, for red is opposite green, and for violet – yellow and so on. You look at the drawing.



This scheme is also a peculiar hint what concealer needs to be chosen. Thus, those who consider that color concealers should be chosen only to match the skin are not right. No. They should be chosen to match that defect of skin which needs to be disguised. For example, if bluish veins – the orange concealer can neutralize them if orange freckles – the violet shade of a concealer is necessary.
