How To Colour Correct With Urban Decay Naked Skin Colour Correcting Fluids

It appears the latest trend taking over the beauty industry this year is colour correcting. Whether you are strolling through Selfridges, or browsing the latest releases on Cult Beauty, a new colour correcting product always seems to make an appearance. Like the strobing trend that dominated the beginning of the year, the colour correcting trend should be embraced in moderation. For everyday routines, colour correcting really isn’t necessary, as not everyone can invest their time in it, but if you do have the time then it really can make all the difference to your complexion. Done correctly, colour correcting can make the majority of our skin transgressions disappear without any need of caking on that concealer or layering on foundation.

The all-new Urban Decay Naked Skin Colour Correcting Fluids are a great way to embrace the colour correcting trend, because they have the same texture and formula as the hugely successful Naked Skin Concealers. They are weightless on the skin, blend out seamlessly for a natural, flawless finish and contain pearlescent pigments to diffuse light, along with anti-oxidant rich vitamins C and E that condition and protect.

There are five shades of Urban Decay's Naked Skin Colour Correcting Fluids available. These shades address most colour correcting needs for the majority of skin tones.

Lavender - Balances out sallowness and helps neutralize skin with a yellow undertone.

Pink - Disguises dark circles particularly on fair skin tones and also works as a highlighter creating a lifted appearance.

Yellow - Perfect for concealing purple-hued dark circles, correcting dullness, reducing the appearance of mild redness and brightening lacklustre complexions.

Green - Counteracts redness on all skin tones.

Peach - Masks blue-hued dark circles, dark spots, veins and deep discoloration, ideal for those with medium to deeper skin tones.

Here is how I utilize the four shades I picked up on my fair skin. I apply the green shade on my most prominent red areas, around my nose and on any blemishes I may have. The yellow shade I use to neutralize more moderate areas of redness, on my chin, my cheeks and I have also used this to brighten under my eyes, which works like magic. I apply the lavender shade to areas that are dull and lacklustre and just need brightening up, across my forehead and along the tops of my cheeks. The pink shade works amazingly well as an under eye brightener, it lifts and illuminates flawlessly. I apply directly from the doe foot applicator and then blend out with my damp beauty blender, they do dry very fast, so I focus one shade on one area at a time. Once blended completely you can't see any multi-coloured tones on your face, which is what I was worried about, in fact, my skin looked flawless and you could even use these without applying your base on top. 

I am so impressed with all of these colour correctors, they do exactly as stated and simply are amazing. Also I am so in love with the packaging, they are lovely to display with their pastel hues and the doe foot applicator makes application easy and convenient.
