A lot of us are probably in-the-know when it comes to makeup correctors. Here is a quick test ---

Did you get the right answer?
It is green!
If you didn't get it, it's find. It took me a while to really understand the concept of color correcting. I mean not everyone is an artist (like my son!) So, if you want to correct pimple marks or acne marks that are quite red, you use green makeup to "correct" the area before you apply foundation. Most of the time, we use correctors like that of a concealer. But recently, let's say fast forward to many years after, skincare is coming up with color correctors as well. I haven't found a lot in other brands but I found it from Dr. Jart+.
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Cream
Approx. Php1,999.00
Dr. Jart+ says ---
Cicapair Tiger Grass Colour Correcting treatment is the all-in-one treatment that includes a colour-changing capsule within the formula to cover blemishes and restore the look of the skin's strength, healthy and vitality. It provides SPF22 PA++ protection from UV light, and it forms a dust barrier to protect the skin from the environment while enhancing the skin's viability.

I find this product a bit tricky to use at first because a little goes a very long way. Putting a lot would make my skin look unnatural with dry patches (as I have dry skin). Putting not enough won't cover skin's redness. After trying this product out several times. I've found the best way.
This product is best to be used after skincare. This can be used together with your favorite sunscreen but I prefer to apply my sunscreen first then this as last step BEFORE makeup application.
Applying small amounts on key areas is the best way to apply, while skin is still hydrated from skincare, it is very easy to blend this product and add another layer if additional coverage is needed. I also like to use this as a "spot treatment" instead of applying this cream all over face. Why? Because my whole face isn't red to start with, focusing only on red areas will even out my complexion thus creating healthy-looking, glowing skin.
I also have sensitive skin by the way and since this product's main ingredient is centella asiatica complex - which is known ingredient to be safe to use for sensitive skin, it gives additional protection from external stress factors and the product contains raspberry leaf extract that can help reduce inflammation. No wonder this product is also best used for people with acne prone skin!
Left skin facing you is my skin after using Dr Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Cream while the other half is just regular skincare. You can definitely see how much clearer and brighter my skin looks.
Also below is a quick video on the right way to apply the product.
What do you think?
Do you need a green corrector cream underneath?
