Although a good skincare routine and a healthy diet is the best way to great looking skin sometimes you need results sooner rather than later if you’re stepping out. Here’s where colour correctors come into play. Unsung heroes of the makeup world, with the right application and product they can cover every pimple redness or other imperfections you desire for an even complexion. Colour correcting continues to be popular but it’s an art that we as Indian women are extremely familiar with. Our skin is so diverse and versatile with a range mix of olive, gold and even pink undertones. However, we are also genetically prone to pigmentation, discolouration and dullness at times. That’s why it’s crucial to pick the right type of products and colours to keep in check with our brown skin, instead of opting for lighter shades marketed. Before you go ahead and start painting on your makeup like Picasso, we’ve shade our rounded up six of the best colour correctors that work on Indian skin.
