Purple neutralizes dull or swallows yellow undertones. You can apply the purple colour corrector on any areas that need to brighten like cheeks, forehead, or chin.

How to apply Concealers?

The key point of applying concealer is less is more. Use layering to build up the coverage.

For the spots such as acne scars, tap the concealer on each spot. Next, gently blend the edge of the concealer. It is because when you blend the concealer from the centre, the coverage will not be enough for the darker spot.
