An even complexion, especially when wearing foundation, is an absolute must
and for some time, I never imagined that foundation alone would sometimes not
be enough, to achieve the perfect flawless face..
Some of us would rather not venture beyond the common concealer but at times
we may need something with a little more ummph to erase those pesky dark circles
under the eyes or that horrid red spot that seems to stick out like a sore thumb, and
sometimes it's still there even after using concealer. But then I was introduced to
a true wonder..Color Corrector..and that's when everything changed..
Ok, so the 1st question-"What Is Color Corrector Concealer?" Well, is it specifically
colored concealer designed to neutralize/cancel out skin discolorations. These specific
colors correspond to their exact opposite colors on the Color Wheel and therefore work
like this: They 'neutralize' or cancel out their appearance on the skin.
The Color Wheel:
Ex: Yellow Concealer cancels out blue/purple veins or bruises, Green Concealer cancels
out red/pink discolorations, Blue/Pale Purple Concealer cancels out yellow discolorations
and so on.
So basically, you choose the Color Correcting Concealer Shade based on your individual
skin discoloration(s), by choosing the color that is the exact opposite of the discoloration.
So for example: if you have red marks due to acne, you would use a green color correcting
concealer to cancel out this discoloration (See the Color Wheel above)-pretty easy huh?!
So once you've decided on Color Correcting needs for your skin, the next thing is to
find the best product to do the best job, which can be a little confusing. Some of these
Color Correctors are sold separately as individual colors- and sometimes you can get a
combo of colors in 2,3 or 4. But I'm no snob so the more the better, for myself that is..

I'm just absolutely hooked on this Color Corrector Concealer Quad and it blends into
the skin without becoming caked, greasy or dried out. It is long lasting, fragrance-free
and it doesn't clog pores. It can perfect even the most stubborn of blemishes caused by
acne, rosacea and hyper-pigmentation. I have extremely sensitive/acne-prone skin and
this product doesn't irritate my skin at all.
I definitely recommend this CC Quad to anyone looking to step up their concealer
game in order to acquire the "Perfect" Foundation coverage. Plus, very little product
is needed to get awesome results-A 5-Star product that gives 10-Star results...
