If you’ve seen under eye correctors pop up in your feed on social media or YouTube and wondered what the difference is between a corrector and a concealer, this is for you!
As a former professional makeup artist, I can say that both are essential products to create a flawless under eye area and I’m happy to explain how, why, and where each product is used.
Used to counteract any tones in the skin that vary from one’s skin tone. Correctors make that area match the rest of the skin, prior to the rest of the makeup being applied.
Concealer is used to brighten under the eyes and center of the face, as well as cover up any skin spots, like sun spots or pimples, or redness on the sides of the nose.
When you are choosing a corrector shade, generally pink and pinky-peach look best to counter blue or purple under eye circles. Deeper peach or salmon shades look best to cover blueish-brown circles.
