If you haven’t heard of ‘Color Correctors’ than you’ve been living under a rock. That’s ok though, you’re here now and I’m going to give you the inside scoop.Despite the huge influx of Color Correctors on the beauty market scene recently, these beauty products are not new. Every makeup artist learns how to use the Color Wheel on the first day of their course.
The theory is simple: look at the color wheel and the color immediately opposite from the color of interest cancels out the the color opposite. For example, green cancels out red, yellow cancels out purple, and orange cancels out blue.
