Let's admit one way or another, we have dealt with acne marks and blemishes at least once in our lives! I still remember how hormonal acne gave me nightmares during my teenage years and I didn't know where to go and what to opt for (Read: I'm obsessed with clear skin and a flawless appearance). Being a makeup enthusiast right from my teen years, once I incorporated the best green concealers, I witnessed how it changed my makeup game! Apart from relying on only skincare products, I got my holy grails that became my go-to option to hide the pesky spots instantly!

Green correctors are the easiest and quickest method to camouflage or neutralize the redness that some of us often get from inflammation, skin redness, irritation, rosacea, scars, sunburn, broken capillaries, and other skin concerns! If you follow the color theory, you can see that green stands the opposite of red color, which means only green has the ability to cancel out the imperfections and appearance of redness before you opt for your base makeup. Otherwise, the red tint in the problematic area might just disrupt your flawless appearance, peek through your foundation, and may not give you the desired results you want from your makeup!

This time, I have shortlisted eleven such products that I have tried and tested on myself before concluding with the list. I hope my recommendations work for all my lovely readers! Happy shopping!

Brace yourselves as I'm about to introduce you to one holy grail product that takes care of your color-correcting and concealing game single-handedly! The dual-ended concealer stick comes in a green shade and a skin-colored shade that allows you to camouflage your redness, rosacea, acne marks, and blemishes while giving it a skin-like finish with the regular shade close to your skin. Furthermore, it is a dermatologically tested product that comes with a hypoallergenic formula for your sensitive skin.

Formula: Liquid

Skin Type: Sensitive

Finish: Dewy

Quick Tip:

Always apply some loose face powder with a fluffy blush over the places where you have applied color correctors before opting for base makeup to set it well!

Now that you have checked out the products, take a look at how you can pick the best one among them.

a) Formulation: The formulation you should pick depends on your skin condition and your lifestyle choices. If you have sensitive skin, it is always to go for hypoallergenic formulas that won't adversely affect the skin. In that case, a clinically-tested or dermatologically-tested formula also works well for you! Furthermore, a cruelty-free or vegan-friendly formula is ideal for you if you are a mindful beauty lover.

b) Finish: Pick your ideal finish depending on your skin type! If you have oily skin, a matte finish can be a game changer for you. On the other hand, a dewy finish, packed with moisturizing agents, is what a person with dry skin should get.

c) Skin Type: Concealers come in different types much like skin! And every concealer is ideally meant for one skin type. Just like how liquid concealers work best on dehydrated skin that doesn't dry out the skin surface much. Similarly, a pot cream concealer will work just fine on oily skin.

Step 1: After CTM (cleansing-toning-moisturizing) to prep your skin, apply a good-quality makeup primer on your face — over the T-zone, O-zone, or wherever you have large pores.

Step 2: Take your green concealer, and apply it in a dotted manner on the spots or pesky blemishes or redness where you feel that your skin needs color correction.

Step 3: Now take your ring finger and lightly dab it on the places. Remember to use light pressure and only your finger to ensure the desired full coverage.

Step 4: Take some loose powder with a fluffy eyeshadow brush and set the product before proceeding to the next step in order to set it fully!

Step 5: Now you can ahead with your base makeup and layer up with concealer and foundation.
