Review | L.A Girl Pro Conceal Correctors in Yellow.I either apply this before the creamy beige shade and blend the two shades together, or I mix it with whatever concealer I have and it adds a little more coverage and a lot more brightness! I’ve already used half of this up so I’ll be needing to restock in a bit I’m sure ^_^ I was kinda hoping it would be a brighter yellow, but its a true in your face bright-as-the-sun yellow shade. It also works well under the eyes if your dark circles are mainly purple in tone, as it’s opposite to purple on the colour wheel, however if you have blue/brown dark circles go for peach! Personally I love yellow on my olive skintone because its essential for brightening up the under-eyes (on top of a corrector ofc) and this stuff is SUPER yellow. Its probably a better shade to go for over the green if you have only a little bit of redness. Yellow is a brightening colour, which both adds glow to the skin and a little like the green corrector, helps to balance out redness too. I probably would repurchase this in the future. I actually love that you need the tiniest amount because it will means the tube will last for ages and though it’s not a step I would take on a regular basis, cause ain’t nobody got time for that, I’m really happy that I have it in my collection for those occasions where I want a more flawless base. You then only need a small amount of foundation - avoiding any cakey look. It’s also excellent for those super red spots. The first time I used this I put it on directly from the tube and it showed through the foundation - not a good look at all! So does it work? Yes indeed it does and it’s a step I’ve loved taking when I’m going for a flawless base because the whole purpose of colour correcting is to even out the base before foundation. As I’ve said above, a lot of product comes out so it’s really important to apply a small amount which will actually corrects redness. Again this is such a strongly pigmented product that the best way to apply this is to take a tiny amount and pat it in-between the two ring fingers, which will sheer it out ever so slightly. I don’t have such strong redness that I have invested in a green primer, but a little bit of this stuff really does correct the redness around the nose and cheeks. The Green shade was another one I was interested to try as it’s essential for correcting redness. Plus this tube will last me for over a year as you literally need the smallest amount. Patience and blending are a must! I don't think I would repurchase this shade because I find a peachy tone works much better for me and is less hassle. Bottom line is it will correct darkness, but it’s not easy to use by any means. It’ll also be great for anyone with dark patches of discolouration and to be honest if this is the only corrector in your price range, it’s worth giving a shot but ONE tip: use the tiniest amount and blend blend blend. It’ll be great for those of you who have INTENSELY dark circles which are not blue in tone. Is this the orange corrector for everyone? No. I knew the shade would be a deeper orange but nothing could prepare me for just how dark the orange corrector shade is from L.A Girl!! It is MEGA dark and the first few times I used this corrector I just kept applying far too much and even with a thicker concealer over the top, the dark tones of the orange kept peeking through - not a good look. I don’t know where I would be without my favourite Benefit Erase Paste in shade 3which is a peachy toned and hides away 95% of the darkness, all ready for a brightening concealer on top. This was undoubtedly the shade I was the most excited to try out because orange correctors are perfect for correcting dark circles.
