We are talking about redness from breakouts, rashes, or even acne scars. If you have those issues, a green concealer will cancel out unwanted redness and create an even base. In the color wheel, green is the opposite of red, so it makes sense to use this shade if you want to achieve an even complexion. It also helps prevent you from looking pink once you’ve applied foundation. 

If you have dull skin and want to brighten your complexion, you can use a purple corrector. It can correct dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and even under eye circles. Additionally, you can also mix in a little bit of the corrector in your foundation if you want to even out your entire face’s complexion. 

Conversely, a yellow color corrector will neutralize purple hues in your face, such as purple or bluish bruises, veins, or even under eye circles. This is also helpful if you have prominent blood vessels and age spots, especially for those with fair skin, as this can minimize their appearance. 

Peach and pink hues can cover dark circles for fairer skin tones, while red and orange can cancel out dark circles for those who have morena or deep skin tones. It can also neutralize any greenish tinge, like the prominent veins on the face and it also cancels out areas with more facial hair.

Check the product and see if it has any parabens and fragrances, as this could easily irritate your skin, especially for those who have sensitive skin. Alcohol can be drying in the long run, and it may not be the best option for those with sensitive or dry skin types.  

If you can, try to look for formulas that are non-comedogenic to avoid clogging your pores and risk your face from breaking out. When you have oily skin, it is advisable to avoid heavy formulas, so you don't end up feeling malagkit. You can take a look at the brand's website, as it usually says whether their product is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, or dermatologist-tested. 

Color corrector palettes closely resemble an eye shadow palette in appearance. It is ideal if you need to address multiple skin issues as it is more convenient than buying individual colors, and it is great for targeted and precise applications. 

A corrector palette is also better suited to those who are more experienced in the technique as they can optimize all colors or even mix and match to customize it to their skin tone. 

Single color correctors can come in tubes, pens, or even makeup bases. This is great if you already know what area to focus on or if you don’t need much neutralizing in the first place. It is handy if you are relatively new to color correcting, given that a palette may seem intimidating and if you think you cannot utilize them all. 

A liquid corrector has a thinner consistency and has buildable coverage. It is versatile as it is compatible with all skin types except for those with very dry skin, as it can settle into fine lines and crease. That said, it is easier to apply since it is less likely to cake up and clog pores.

If you are just doing everyday makeup, then a liquid formula is enough. It can sufficiently correct any areas where you need it without being too heavy on your skin, allowing it to breathe. Do note that some liquid correctors are more pigmented so it's best to be careful when building up the product.

These have a waxier consistency, are generally much thicker, and provide more coverage. It is great for oily skin as it does not slide off as much, though do keep in mind it can crease if not set properly. 

It is great for when you need more coverage on certain areas as you can only apply a little bit instead of piling on the product of a thinner consistency. For special occasions or events, you can opt to use a cream color corrector to make sure you have full coverage that stays in place. 

If you have dry skin, a color corrector stick is the one for you. It has a thick and velvety consistency that will work wonders for dry skin. And it will also blend very easily, so you don’t have to rub and tug at your face. Not to mention, they are convenient to use as well. Just make sure to moisturize your face well before applying them.
