- Makeup can not only change the shape of your face but can also be used to correct the colour of unwanted skin tones. I've always used a colour wheel to help me decipher this often confusing subject.
This film demonstrates how to enhance skin tones with colour correcting makeup. I explain what a colour corrector does, and cover some of the most asked questions including, the best colour corrector for dark circles, how to cover pigmentation, and whether its best to apply your foundation, before or after you use the colour correcting makeup
I hope you find this film useful , please leave any comments below and I'll try and reply to as many as possible.
Have a great weekend.
Caroline x

Great video - thank you! And definitely yes to an under eye tutorial. I’m 64 and now have some hollows at the outside corner of my eyes. The whole concealer project really changes as we age! ❤❤ you Caroline!
This was great Caroline! I’ve been really struggling with finding the right concealer to cover my dark circles without settling into my lines and wrinkles. A video dedicated to this issue as you suggested would be well received 😊❤️.
I have to say, there are thousands of TH-camrs out there trying their best to deliver their content, but you, Caroline, are such a lovely, sympathetic person. I really ❤ you. Your content is fantastic, but I also love your style and approach. You are down to earth, funny, and listening to you just makes me feel good. Just want to say Thank you ❤
Just wanted to say a mahusive thank you! I’m 46 and peri-menopausal and my skin changed practically overnight! I had just about given up on makeup, as it just aged me further! After following your tips, I’ve had so many compliments on how well I’m looking, it’s getting embarrassing!
Thank you so much! Xxx
A wonderful video. I have the left side of dark pigmentation from driving in the US...I am going to try the violet color on my spots. You are the first content creator who mentioned this. Thank you again!
Smashbox is bringing Becca highlighters and the under eye correctors back.
I used to use a yellow based concealer but found by accident that pink works much better for under eyes.
That was really helpful. Thank you. Already addicted to Rosalique thanks to your previous videos. I would definitely be interested in a video on concealing undereye shadows, troughs and lines. Love your channel. Kate x😊😊
So interesting Caroline. Definitely would LOVE one focusing on under eyes please as been such a problem all my life. Might stop people telling me how tired I look 🙄 Thankyou x
I watched a video of yours from a few years ago on under eye concealing and my biggest takeaway was to dab the inner under eye with a tissue before applying product. This top tip decreased the creases! Thanks for your tips and tricks with make up!
Thanks Caroline!. I keep trying different concealers and do have the max and still colour correctors, I’ve forgot to use them in ages!!, you’ve kindly reminded me! X❤
Yes, in the US and my pigmentation is on the left side of my face, lol. I definitely need some help with my eyelids, too. Thanks for this video!
Such a great video as I bought a colour corrector palette ages back but never dared use it as I honestly didnt know what the hell to do with it....i bought it because some makeup person suggested it. This is going to be so helpful. Thanks Caroline! Ive never even tried Matcha but after this I might need to give it a bash. Have a great week xx
That color wheel is sold out. I have rosacea. I really wanted that. I'll keep trying. That was fun! Watched twice, so hopefully I'll remember.☺
Helpful and informative. Left side of my face is the one with spots (driving in the US!).
Thank you so much for this very useful educational tutorial. You are so generous with sharing knowledge ❤️ greetings from Denmark
This was really helpful. My pale Irish skin shows everything. I use the erborian green for redness and it helps. Yes, please on the undereye correction tutorial❤️
This was so interesting and I'll be experimenting with a few corrector shades. Any chance that you would consider filming a vlog about identifying skin undertones? I have trouble as my pale skin that has a little redness in areas seems to look slightly ashy with some of my foundation choices and I wonder if it's poor undertone choice rather than poor colour choice.
Thank you, Caroline, for your much-needed video. Growing up in Australia and diving on the left side of the road like our Big Cousins, the Brits, I, too, have much of my pigmentation on the right side of my face and also my hand! Your recent videos showed how much your pigmentation and skin texture has improved. You may have mentioned in this video that you were having laser treatment. I have pigmentation and some sun spots from childhood, playing in the sunshine and swimming at the beach with little to no sun protection. My Mum was a sun worshipper, so I often had a heat stroke on more than one occasion. I now plaster on the SPF 50 plus every day, as I do for my son. A quarter of a teaspoon for my face and neck.
I'd like to know what type of laser treatment you had and what other pigment-fading treatments you tried. They really have worked a treat. Is that okay to ask? Could you do a skincare routine video? Many of us would be interested. I now have pale olive skin and use plenty of sun protection. I have so much trouble concealing my sun spots, pigmentation, and blueish purple under the eye area. I have tried some colour correctors but like an orange one, which is too dark and green for the red areas on my face. I can not get the hang of it. This is why this video is so brilliant. You have taught me so much in such a short time. My current foundation is too sheer. To help me. Being over 40 and in the throes of perimenopause, my skin has changed. It is much drier and more sensitive than it once was. So I opted for more sheer, less drying foundations and tried to spot conceal with little success. With your help, I can now have a better chance at success. So thank you x
Erborian CC correctors are great as an all over colour corrector to wear alone or under makeup plus there is a Dull correct that gives a lovely healthier glow, the Red Correct and a variety of other tints. They do mini versions which is helpful as it might be a bit of trial and error to find the colour and product consistency you like best as there are so many options and products. Space NK and other stores carry it so you could try in person too. Personally I love the CC range as it’s very light as I don’t wear foundation finding it too heavy, topping up areas with concealer as needed.
Thank you, thank you, Caroline for this video!! It demystified color correcting for me! I have fair skin with cool undertones. I realize, from watching this video, that I'm likely using too dark, too warm, and too creamy of a corrector for me, as well as using too much. No wonder it doesn't seem to be quite right! LOL 😂 🤣
I'd been waiting on this video. Definitely has helped me a lot.
Looking forward to one for the eyes only xx
To be honest, I am usually too lazy to use colour corrector before concealer, so I tend to look for a super coverage concealer for under my eyes. Pat McGrath concealer in shade 4 is perfect for me because it’s got a yellow undertone and neutralises the blue circles 😅. Becca used to do fantastic undereye colour correctors though, which apparently are now being made by Smashbox, so not all bad news 😊. Have a great weekend, Caroline!❤xx
Fascinating video Caroline!... YES Please do one on covering dark circles, many thanks
I spent all of the 90s in a tanning bed - do they have industrial-sized lasers? 🥴😆 Lovely video Caroline!
Thank you, Caroline. This was tremendously helpful and informative. Have a lovely weekend x
I had a delay in checking this video out and am so excited to have finally watched. Such such helpful tips, thank you! I am constantly curious about my undertones as I seem to have a mix (based on the tests I’ve read online like the color of your veins or if you look better in gold or silver jewelry). This really helps break down the tones of the face bit by bit and understanding the theory of opposite color neutralization is pretty revelatory! Loved this so much. Can’t wait to try! The most I’ve done to date is use Sigma under eye corrector before my concealer which I quite like but I do run into the problem of the combo creasing in my fine lines which I HATE. Talk about looking worse rather than better! Also love matcha too! Thanks for the tip on your sweetener. Sounds lovely and nutritious too. I usually do a blend of half water half steamed almond or oat milk and find the sweetener of the milk does the trick but will sometimes add a drop of natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Can I ask why you are not using honey at the moment? Thanks again for the consistent great content, Caroline! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far.
Hi Caroline I love colour correction. I have rosacea so I always use green, but I love a pale pink brightener under the eyes and a lilac/lavender face powder for all over brightness. I’m super pale/cool toned, so these are the shades that look best on my skin. Best wishes x
I’m in Canada, driving on the left, so now it makes perfect sense why I have more “sun spots” or hyperpigmentation on the left side of my face 🤷♀️
Thank you Caroline! This has been so helpful!!!! Great explanation.
🎉
Really love all your tips. You show us how to apply skincare and makeup, how about a video of what you use to remove it all. 🥰
This video has really helped me, I have really bad dark circles under my eyes and they are a contestant bug bare for me. Any more help you can give would be greatly appreciated as it really brings my confidence down, thank you 🙂
I saw the comment about Becca and Smashbox and wanted to confirm that. I believe that they have three colors in their under-eye corrector, which is slightly sticky and comes in a little pot. I recently helped a friend test out some under eye correctors at Ulta, and this is the first one we went to, and ultimately the one we purchased. We tried several others, and they were all just too dry and noticeably textured for her slightly creepy mature under eyes. She went with the medium color, which really helped correct her blue under eye circles. I showed her how to gently tap a tiny amount it with her ring finger and she doesn’t even need to set it with powder or put concealer over it and it doesn’t kris or move.
Hi Caroline, thank you so much for this. I found it really interesting 👍🏻 xxx
Thankyou so much caroline, this has been a really useful video for my under eye darkness, so informative.
Very sweet. A video all about the undereye would be great!
Really helpful. Thank you.
Good morning Caroline, I always look forward to your videos. I have been using a product that is an illuminating eye cream by Colleen Rothschild, it is lovely. It is peachy and really brightens the under eye and last all day. My favorite so far. The color wheel is amazing tool. Thank you for sharing it . Would love to try this in the future.
Still waiting Caroline with bated breath for your colour theory friend to come on and talk about makeup colours to suit our undertones etc .
Drive in USA - left side of face definitely has pigmentation where right side is better looking. Love color correction so thank you for this video
Yes I agree with driving in the UK, I have awful pigmentation on the right side of my face. Burnt my face quite badly in Ibiza in the 80s and have a huge brown spot on my right eyelid which really gets me down, looks so aging.
Do look into laser it’s costly but does work
This was sooo helpful. I too have annoying pigmentation ( fair skinned, live in hot country) which has vastly improved after laser treatment . Still got two annoying spots on left cheek. Ordinary concealer seems to oxidize on me ( I use Nars) and by end of the day they look browner than ever🤦🏻♀️ Using lilac/ peach combo could be the way forward🙏. Thanks! Love and trust you 💖
Thank you so much, Caroline, I didn't realize my soft brown age spots can be corrected with lavendar corrector, duh, lol. Yes, I have more pigmentation on my left side, am in America. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Morning Caroline 👋🏻😊
I'm fair skinned like you, if not lighter with very pink cheeks, nose and chin. Years ago I used a colour correcting palette but found it was too greasy for my skin.
I've used Erborian which works well but I'm going to see if I can find something like you demonstrated.
Thank you for your time and another fab video.
Have a lovely weekend! xo
Yes they did used to be too greasy formulas are better now
Great tips! Driving in CA, it’s my left side where I have brown spots. With vit C and A and red light therapy they are almost gone. And of course SPF.
Great video, I have been struggling to find a really good cruelty free colour corrector since Urban Decay stopped doing them, so thank you 😊
Thank you Caroline just not great with makeup really starting again with my green counsellor
Yep, I'm in UK and have pigmentation on right side 😖🤬. Great tips, thanks Caroline 👍💟
🤯😀
Yes right side more blinking sun spots
Excellent film Caroline!!!
Thanks Caroline as always for your fantastic advice see you next week take care ❤
That was so interesting Caroline, I’m definitely going to try that. I’ve never tried Matcha tea but interested to know what the flavour is like.
Thank you for this video. I haven't been very good at color corrector.
I have Rosacea and I have more broken capillaries on the left side of my face from driving. I live in the US.
I don’t have any discolouration under my eyes, which is great, but I’ve been a sunglasses wearer since early teens (migraines), so my under eyes are almost as pale as my inner thigh - quite something for a ginger Scot! My issue is that when I use foundation, if i take it close to the eye my under-eyes look yellow, and if I don’t it stays bright white in contrast with the foundation. I’ve never really been sure of the undertone, but I’ve settled on very light neutral, tending to warm, which if i can find the right one is fine except under the eyes. In the past - i.e. younger days - I just skipped foundation altogether as I have freckles, had less redness and no wrinkles, so as long as I was moisturised it was fine! Now though, having also skipped SPF for so long, I have a lot of redness, cavernous pores and magnificent texture, so I really want the skin tint or foundation. But what do I do about the under eyes?
hello caroline, super interesting video, we learn a lot and it will certainly help me improve my complexion. Thank you😍😍😍
We get tanned on the left side here 😉. Though not as much now that I'm better wearing sunscreen every day 😊
Thanks, Caroline. Great advice, as always!
Thank you for such an informative demonstration, Caroline. I use Rosalique on my redness, but have never tried colour camouflaging my single, large sunspot, which is over my right cheekbone. And yes, I drive in the UK!
Let me know if its helpful
Great video, whith excellent tutorial. I had so many doubts about it. You've helped me a lot. Thanks😊
Delighted 😀
Great video, so helpful! Thanks Caroline, I definitely need to improve my skills in colour correction - I've been using a green stick from Smashbox until now, but I have to face the fact that pigmentation (on the left side of my face, I drive in Italy!) and under eye area are an issue... Darkness under the eyes reaches my bra at the moment 🤦😅 So thank you once more for your precious tips. Have a great weekend, hugs from Italy ❤
Thank you Daniela please let me know if you try a peach tone under your eyes and it works for you 😀
@@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes I will! My skin is a mess, I am going through a massive weight loss and I struggle with lack of tone, dehydration and all the rest. Being 60 doesn't help either, it's a daily battle against the evil gravity force... I'm still trying to work out what could help me solve most of the mentioned issues, but at least I can do it with a better looking skin colour 😄
Enjoyed this..i have got broken capillaries on my cheeks what colour would disguise them and can you recommend any products to cover them xx
A lot of colour correctors that are recommended work great BUT if you aren’t the skin tone that they change to i.e from a Green tint-to a brown tint, then they will be too dark for you. So take a look at a Green colour corrector that stays green, rather than changes to a tint, which you can then cover with foundation.
Thank you so much, a fantastic, informative video 🤩
Very helpful video-thanks!
In the US and brown spots on left side of face. But I just got BBL treatment that got rid of them, thank goodness.
Loved this video so much. I ordered the Ben Nye colour wheel and am really looking forward to using it as I have a lot of pigmentation, age spots, texture and also rosacea so I will be over the moon if this one palette can even out my terrible skin! I can recommend dermetica which has lightened my melasma spots over the last year. Do you whisk your Matcha? I do think you get what you pay for with it. Apparently the ceremonial matcha is supposed to be much smoother and you can get a little whisk to froth it up. Do keep us all posted - maybe a tea making video 😊xx
Wow! Great video!
Thank you!
Yes, my sister in law lives in California and she has that on the left side. She says the same thing! 🫶🎨
🙈
thanks Caroline very informative great tips I use Loreal CC Cest Magic on the redness on my lids I never thought to correct my age spots first colour wheel here I come 😀
Oh yes that’s a good one!
Yess! 😘 Caroline x
Great tutorial, the transformation with the colour correction is so effective. Since i started using Dr Jart green tiger grass all over my face, I find that a little bronzer and blush is all I need. Hardly ever use foundation. P. S.My pigmentation is on my left side of face (and forearm😢
Fantastic, really helpful thank you 🙏 I’m actually colour blind which is very tricky but I can tell what tones suit me. I do use green on my redness but pressing the foundation over it is a great tip! I have to ask my partner if she can see the green afterwards lol! Xx
😂😂😂
Wonderful, useful info!
I really like the Pukka matcha teabags. My favourite is the mint match one - had one this morning! I use the Pixi eye corrector in a pot which is pretty good. Might buy one of those pencils you showed for travel. I try to colour correct a burst blood capillary I have. It's slightly raised so v difficult! I've been using the IT cosmetics anti redness cream in a pot thingy (not its exact title 😂). I use a little art brush I bought in The Range for a few quid. It's actually a v good brush! Emma x
Bobbi Brown still has color correctors that are in pots.
Fabulous video, thanks. Undereye video would be amazing ❤❤
Thanks for this Caroline 😊 what was the foundation you were using with the sponge please? X
Hi Caroline...would you suggest the lilac colour for Xanthelasma around the eyes..? Xx
Hello!! I love your channel, though I've barely ever commented. I am hoping you can please help me. I have quite fair skin, and a horrible age spot right in the middle of my forehead! I've tried light blue, and it only darkens it. I've tried peach, lavender, pink, and every concealer under the sun. Nothing stays put. It's not only the color but the texture is different too. Can you PLEASE recommend something? And would I apply it before or after foundation? THANK YOU❤
I was sure you were going to demo the new Beautypie corrector 🙂
My skin is very pale (Irish) but when I use concealer or corrector or even primer, the foundation no matter how light looks as if I have dry flakey patches especially on nose.
Meant to ask, is it fair to say you should generally use cool toned makeup for warm undertoned skin (and vice versa) to neutralize skin? I always get confused with this because it seems when you Google it, the advice is to use cool for cool and warm for warm, but it seems with the color correction theory, it’s sort of the opposite? Am I missing the obvious point? 😂
Dear Caroline. I looked around on your channel but I can't find anything on two topics. First, massage to use for puffy eyes . If you have one can you point me to it?
The second topic I am interested in is, spider veins. Not so much on the face, but also on the legs. Being 63 years old I have them popping up faster. I tried injection, but more came to the funeral. Can they do it with lasers and not have to wear those stupid support hose for a month? Thanks.
revlon used to do a great one peachy colour im using a morphe one at mo thats good and price is good x
Oh thanks I love Morphe I’ll take a peek
Higher pigmentation ALWAYS on my right side, cheek, neck, arm, hand from driving 😂😂😂
I think the side of your face where pigmentation is matches the side of your face where you hold your phone.
How would you advise using for people with very pale skin with pigmentation, but who like a lighter coverage foundation please? Rx
Bobby Brown still have those color sticks.
Use a lilac on brown but never blended with lighter correct mite try and sponge technique thanks great tips
Would fingers do aswel as sponge ?
Absolutely
Can I just ask about the colour wheel pigments....I've very sensitive skin and breakout so easily....I take it the colour wheel pigments are non-comedogenic? I've always been afraid to use any in case they clog pores further etc Thank you 😊
I’m not sure but I have never encountered any issues with me or clients but we are all so unique
Thank you so much for letting me know 😊
💚💜💛🧡 ❤
I’m going to look at the left v side of my face now.
Is that a Scamp & Dude top
YES!!
My eyes are more puffy than anything else 🤔
