🎨 Color Theory in Makeup: Master the Wheel, Fix Undertones & Correct Like a Pro
If you’ve ever piled on concealer trying to cover dark circles or redness—only to end up with a cakey mess—this is your sign to stop layering and start correcting . Color theory is one of the most powerful tools in makeup, and once you understand it, you’ll use less product while getting better results. Let’s break it down in a way that actually makes sense—and works in real life. 🌈 Understanding the Color Wheel (Your Secret Weapon) At the heart of color correcting is the color wheel —specifically complementary colors (colors opposite each other). Here’s the cheat sheet you’ll actually use: Green cancels Red (acne, rosacea) Peach/Orange cancels Blue/Purple (dark circles, hyperpigmentation) Yellow cancels Purple (dullness, under-eye shadows) Lavender cancels Yellow (sallow skin) If you want a physical reference while practicing, I recommend the Mcbazel 3 Pieces Artist Color Mixing Guides Wheel — it’s super helpful for beginners and pros alike. 👉 Grab it here: https://amzn.to/4n...
