It's All About Colour Correcting

My skin. Where to start, with my skin? Oh Lordy. It's not terrible but it's far from perfect: I'm on antibiotics to keep my acne under control; I naturally have very large open pores; and I'm plagued by two large pinky purple blemishes across my cheekbone. Ideally, it would be great to have a lovely full coverage where you can't see any of these little nasties poking though but I've never been able to get rid of them. 

Recently though, I decided to give colour correcting a shot. My days of Collection 2000 concealer are gone. Skeptical me took herself off to Superdrug to peruse what was on offer. My answer- very little. However, I did manage to pick up a little MUA palette with green, yellow, purple and orange creams in. Happy girl. 

It's a very simple concept, you use the coloured creams as your concealer to combat specific colours: 

Green- red and pink tones

Yellow- purple tones

Orange- blue tones (good on veins) 

Purple- yellow tones 

And I've been doing this for a few weeks now. Three words. Hook. Line. Sinker. 

In fact I've been back since and purchased the mixed colour powder to wear on top of my make up (instead of a single colour matte powder) and the yellow and green creams separately (they're the only colours I need). MUA, you did hella good! 

I've noticed a real difference in the initial finish of my make up and I'm very VERY impressed. Those pesky darker colours that appear through my foundation base are no where near as noticeable. I'd like to say that it's a complete difference throughout the day, but it's make up, not magic. A girl can wish, but no. 

Other brands, obviously, do sell these type of colour correcting kits but this is the only one I've tried. If you're looking for somewhere to start though, I'd definitely give it a go.
