Bye, Redness and Dark Circles—These TikTok-Approved Color Correctors Do It All

Have you ever put on a full face of makeup only to realize that, for some reason, your skin still looks a bit off? It could be for any number of reasons—maybe the skin under your eyes is taking on a bluish tinge, maybe your skin looks a bit gray toned, or maybe redness is peeping through. Even if you have the perfect concealer, you might be missing a key ingredient for a flawless finish: a color corrector.

Color correctors have gained quite a bit of traction on TikTok in the past couple of years, with quite a few of them going mega-viral. (We’re looking at you, Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment.) Color correctors have been staples in makeup artists’ kits for years, though. The trick to perfect color correcting is knowing how to pick the right one for you.

To understand color correction, let’s go back to the color wheel. Color correction is essentially based on complementary colors, or colors opposite each other on the color wheel. To cancel out redness, you’d go for a green pigment. To cancel out blue, you’d pick orange, and purple would cancel out yellowness. Once you understand which color to pick for the pigmentation you’re trying to cover up, you’ll be able to achieve a more even-toned complexion.

We found the absolute best color correctors to use for every circumstance, from the TikTok-famous color correctors to makeup artist recommendations to best sellers. Keep reading to choose the color corrector that’s best for you, and get ready for your makeup to look flawless.
