Ever wondered how some people seem to have effortlessly even, radiant skin? Their secret often lies in color correction. Unlike traditional concealers, color correctors work based on the principles of the color wheel to neutralize unwanted tones—creating a smoother, more balanced base for your foundation.

The magic of color correcting starts with the color wheel. Remember in art class how opposite colors cancel each other out? That same principle applies to your skin. Redness, dullness, and dark spots all have specific tones—and with the right corrector, you can neutralize them for a flawless finish.

Manila Bulletin Lifestyle spoke with professional makeup artist Muriel Vega Perez to guide us on how to properly use color correctors.

Apart from choosing the right color, Muriel also shared some tips on selecting the right product.
