In this video: Which corrector colour fixes which concern, and how to apply it

In this lesson

  • Matching primer to skin type, not to trends
  • The colour-correcting wheel, made simple
  • How much corrector to use (less than you think)
  • Flash photography and SPF: avoiding a white cast
  • A half-face primer test and a troubleshooting table

Primer is the double-sided tape of bridal makeup. It gives foundation something to grip onto and stops your skin’s own oil from breaking the makeup down by mid-afternoon. Colour correcting is the quiet trick that lets you use less foundation while getting more even-looking skin.
