I found this really helpful! My worst is definitely the dark circles under my eyes and even with concealer I struggle to cover them up so I’ll be beating this post in mind next time I go shopping for makeup!
So glad you found it helpful! 💕

This post is really helpful. I have tried color correcting undereyes and zits so far. I never thought I could use purple for sides of the face. Will def give it a try!
So glad you found it helpful! x
Such a useful post! I never tried colour correcting in other shades than green!
Thank you lovely! So glad you found it useful 💗
I love the colour-coded diagrams – so fun and so helpful! Just a thought – may be worth making a whole sheet so that all the faces are on one page and shared on something like Pinterest?
I bought a green NYX concealer product a few months ago but I’ve yet to really use it. I think because it’s not skin-coloured, I’m scared I will not use it correctly so this post will be helpful for when I do get around to using it so thanks!
Ohh you’re right! I’ll definitely create a Pinterest template! Thank you so much for reading hun x
