How To Use Color Correcting Concealer For Skin Redness

Makeup is a wonderful, magical thing, isn’t it? And not as a method to mask your natural beauty, of course, but rather to enhance it and/or make you feel more cool and confident about blemishes that can flare up. It’s 2023, though, which means we have access to makeup that isn’t just about camouflaging or concealing problems — instead, it’s multitasking makeup that not only hides our imperfections, but also works to nourish and nurture our complexions with the best skin-perfecting ingredients around. Case in point: Our  Hydra Medic® Corrective Concealer.  This green-tinted concealer covers up issues such as spots (with pimples and acne scars) and visible redness all while potent skincare ingredients, including Seaweed extracts, Silver, and antioxidant Vitamin E and C help treat problem skin and Kaolin clay works to absorb excess oils.  

If you haven’t watched hundreds of color-correcting beauty tutorials on TikTok or Insta (like we have…), then you might not be familiar with the wizardry that comes from leveraging the color wheel; but it’s not difficult to get the gist of it. Looking at a traditional color wheel, colors that sit directly opposite to each other will cancel each other out. So, observing red across from green, you’ll have a nullifying effect if you counter unrelenting redness with a green correcting product. Layering on foundation or flesh-toned concealers are not as effective or efficient as when you use this simple, easy color-corrector to quickly counteract redness whether due to angry spots, broken capillaries, hyper-sensitivity, or sunburn. You can tone it down naturally with a color correcting concealer for redness.

We Just Have One Color Correcting Concealer, But It’s a Universal Remedy 

There are so many skin care concerns that color correctors can “make right,” including dark undereye circles, hyperpigmentation, dullness or sallowness, but redness is something that almost every person has experienced at some point, even if their skin type isn’t typically oily or acne-prone. You’ll be so glad you scooped up a green-tinted concealer for your makeup bag or vanity if you start noticing any redness for a quick fix.

How to Use This Color Corrector  

Don’t feel like you need to be a makeup artist, this should be easy to use!! 

Our Corrective Concealer can be applied in two ways (and we love how ours is formulated as a smooth, easy-glide concealer stick; the design gives you more control and dexterity in application versus other liquid concealers that come in tubes or with wands): 

1. For lighter, spot coverage, take the creamy green-tinted concealer stick and dab it onto problem areas, then layer our mineral and vitamin-rich Repêchage Perfect Skin Liquid Foundation over it, blending carefully with a makeup sponge. 
2. For fuller, all-over coverage, apply the stick to problem areas after applying foundation, blending the edges out with a makeup brush or sponge, and then lightly dab a skin-tone matchingRepêchage Perfect Skin Perfecting Concealer over it, again blending thoroughly into the foundation. 

A Color Correcting Concealer Infused With Botanical Ingredients  

Like everything we bring to market at Repêchage, our Hydra Medic® Corrective Concealer doesn’t just put a blanket or a band-aid over blemishes -- instead, when you use it to camouflage your skin redness in the moment, it also works to help reduce the look of redness topically with skincare benefits. The ingredients all work together to provide results: smoother, softer, and all-over clearer-looking appearance. Here are some of the skin-friendly ingredients our Hydra Medic® Corrective Concealer features:

Laminaria Digitata Extract: A natural source of 12 vitamins including B12, C, E, K and Beta Carotene, 18 amino acids, and 42 trace elements. In a few words, our hallmark seaweed moisturizes, protects, and nourishes.  

Laminaria Saccharina Extract:This brown seaweed found in shallow subtidal cold water environments in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, and alginic acid. And that means it helps calm the appearance of breakout-prone skin, fights free radicals, and combats environmental skin agitators like pollution.  

Silver:Produced from pure metallic silver, this porous and micro-sized powder is known to release soluble silver ions, forming an invisible layer on the surface of the skin to help reduce the appearance of redness and irritation. You may also find this ingredient fetaured in our Red-Out® Skincare Collection.

Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate):A stable form of Vitamin C that maintains its potency, this superhero antioxidant helps create a more even-toned and brighter appearance of skin. 

Marula Oil (Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil): This rich oil is known to soften and revitalize skin while simultaneously curbing the proliferation of bacteria that contributes to the appearance of breakouts.

Lavender (Lavandula Stoechas) Extract: Native to the Mediterranean region, lavender has moisturizing benefits, but is even more influential in relaxing and soothing skin.    

Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Known to be a powerful antioxidant that can help protect skin against free radical damage.  

Safflower (Carthamus Tinctorius) Seed Oil: Rich in Vitamin E, this noncomedogenic oil can help the appearance of clearer skin, all while giving skin a soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated appearance. 

Yes, the seaweed extracts, Silver, and Vitamin C target the chief concern of redness, but everything else just takes this concealer stick to the next level… Green means GO! So don't let redness stop you in your tracks. Discover our latest concealer with skincare benefits today. Shop Now
