Before I start talking about some make up alternatives, let's go back to the Color Wheel
This is pretty basic, once you learn which color would cancel other color, you will be mastering color correcting. Red is directly across green: Green Concealers will help to neutralize any redness around the nose area, red blemishes, etc. Now that we get how to use the color wheel, Let me show you some Color concealers and discuss their purpose.
1. Green Concealers: Use a green based spot concealer to remove redness from any zit, or acne scars. If you have widespread redness, (rosacea, windburn or sunburn) then a color correcting green primer will be the best to reduce redness and gives a even toned base for foundation.
2. Purple Concealer: As you can see, purple is directly across from yellow on the color wheel. Purple, lavender, or lilac is best to eliminate any unwanted yellow undertones on your skin. Believe it or not, it will leave a nice glow to the skin.
3. Orange or Peach Concealer: Ideal for brightening around the eye area and masking signs of fatigue.This particular concealer color is a mixture of red, orange, and yellow hues, which are across from the blue, purple, and green hues on the color wheel. That’s why this color is best to combat dark under eye circles. Since it’s a great brightening agent, these concealers also work well to cover raccoon eyes and to give sallow olive tones skin a much needed radiance
Lighter Skin Tones... stay away from orange concealers. Orange is perfect for people with darker skin tones trying to hide dark circles or other dark discolorations.
4. Yellow Concealer: Perfect for hiding purple or blue bruises, veins, and under eye circles. Yellow concealers are typically the most general, and depending on you skin tone you could use yellow concealer as an eye primer.
5. Neutral Concealers: If you don't have any problems with your skin, or not much areas you need to hide, neutral concealers are better for you. Any regular concealer should work to fix any imperfections. Pick a shade similar to your skin tone, or one shade lighter, and you’re good to go!
you could also use it as an eye primer.
