Color corrector selector.
Compare correction shades by visible color and skin depth, then explore placement and thin makeup layers.
The face studio / Color correction
Correct the color. Keep the skin.
Choose the visible cast, its location, and a model close to your skin depth. Compare a thin corrective layer with the concealer step.
Skin depth changes the starting shade as well as the portrait. Compare an actual product against your own skin in daylight.
Simulated discoloration and makeup layers show placement and layering. This preview does not predict a product’s coverage or your result.
Starting shade to compare
Peach
Peach and orange families are starting points for a blue or grayish shadow. The shade gets deeper as skin depth increases.
Keep the warm color inside the shadow. A very light corrector on deeper skin can look gray; a strong orange on fair skin can remain visible.
- 01Tap a thin layer only on the shadow below the eye. Keep the product off the waterline and eye opening.
- 02Let the thin layer settle, then press a skin-matched concealer or foundation over it.
- 03Check in natural light. If a corrective tint shows through, use less or choose a more muted shade.
Under eyes · Blue shadow · Medium skin. Color corrector is optional; a well-matched concealer may be enough.

Choose a color-corrector starting point
- Identify the visible color you want to balance, then choose the complexion depth closest to your skin.
- Compare the suggested correction shade and placement. Opposing colors provide a starting point; the amount and depth of pigment also matter.
- Apply a small amount of a suitable product and follow with a thin complexion layer if needed. Compare with an uncorrected area in consistent lighting.
The tool cannot diagnose dark circles, redness or pigmentation. Seek professional advice about persistent or changing skin symptoms.
