But sometimes, no matter how much you add, you might still see discoloration peeking through.
How color corrector works
Color correctors are like a filter IRL, says Compton.
These types of products use color theory to neutralize discoloration.
Say youre dealing with redness.
Yellow cancels out purple while orange cancels out blue, both working to cover dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Adding this step will actually allow you to wear less makeup, so less concealer and foundation.

To see how the shades work on different complexions, we had three Well+Good editors try it out.
Learn about their thoughts below.
I usually have to pile on two different foundations over those darker areas to get an even blend.
All in all, the corrector has a matte-like finish without being too cakey.
I also applied some to my nose, which tends to get red thanks to irritation from my glasses.
I then put on my foundation (today, itsKosas($42)).
My biggest discoloration concerns come from old acne scarring, which shows up brown on my complexion.
Start with your favorite moisturizer and, if youd like, ahydrating primer.
The formula is highly pigmented, so only a small amount of product is needed to achieve maximum results.
Makeup artistAliya Baigsuggests using asmall synthetic brush($22) for program to get the best coverage.
Never use a beauty blender or stippling brush to apply a color corrector,says Baig.
Start with a small synthetic brush the size of the area youll be working on.
Then, gently use a damp blender to apply concealer or foundation over the area to blend.
