Quick Tip: Correcting Imperfections

Hi guys! Yvette here with another quick tip. Here are all the steps. It may seem like a lot but I think its important to take your time and do them, especially if you're going to be photographed for a special event, or if this imperfection really bothers you. This will only take an extra 5 minutes, if that ;-)

STEP 1: Apply foundation
STEP 2: Apply the correcting concealer = that is equal to the imperfection {pack it on instead of smudging}
     A. GREEN helps correct REDNESS
     B. PINK helps correct BROWN spots and GREY spots
     C. YELLOW helps correct PURPLE based under eye circles
     D. PEACH/ ORANGE / SOFT ORANGE is for BLUE
STEP 3: Set it with a translucent powder (pack it on so it sets in place)
     * you could also use a correcting correcting powder like PEACH by MAC or dark RICE powder by Youngblood
STEP 4: Apply your regular concealer (pack it on do not smudge)
STEP 5: Apply your face powder (lightly dust it on)

THE KEY IS PACKING AND LAYERING ;-)
