Ace the “no-makeup” look with beauty’s best kept secret!

Life Pharmacy - HERO image Estée Lauder.jpgAs we emerge like butterflies into spring one thing we’ll notice as the sun hits our face is that consistent skin colour is not guaranteed. Fear not, we have the ultimate solution so you can master the “no makeup” makeup look with beauty’s best kept secret!

Winter is famous for drying out skin, and without having had the luxury of nature’s healthy glow, thanks to exposure to light sun rays, flawless, even skin tone can elude us when spring arrives. And with many of us having worked all year long without a break, September skin can be dull and sallow with overly-prominent dark circles under the eyes.

Enter colour corrector: your new makeup best friend. This little secret is so easy you’ll wonder where this no. 1 beauty hack has been all your life!

What, How and Why?

Colour corrector is a palette or combination of colours that range from universal skin tones, to lavender, and a pale green. They correct rather than conceal uneven skin tone and are light and extremely easy to use. They can be used as a base under natural skin tone concealers, your foundation, or in place of foundation if a light coverage is all that is desired.

They are ideal for all skin types, from normal, combination, oily and dry, and can be used in a combination of colours to blur uneven skin tone to create a flawless look. To apply, colour correctors can be lightly dabbed onto the skin, then blended with fingertips or a brush.

Colour correctors are mistake-proof and can cover up most skin imperfections.

Your Colour Corrector Guide

● Too Much Redness: To tone down red skin, pigmentation, scarring and blotchiness, use the GREEN colour corrector
● Mild Stubborn Redness or Rosiness: Skin prone to a light flush can be toned down using the YELLOW colour corrector
● Brownish Dark Circles: Remove dark circles under the eye using a YELLOW or PEACH colour corrector
● Blackish Dark Circles on a Fair Complexion: Use the SALMON-toned colour corrector
● Sallow or Yellow skin tone: Use the LAVENDER colour corrector.
