Sometimes foundations alone do not make the cut for creating a flawless canvas.

Ever wondered why your foundation looks dull upon applying it? Well, the purpose of a foundation is often mistaken. While it is supposed to even out your skin tone and provide coverage, most foundations do not contain colour correcting pigments to conceal redness or dullness. An additional step of using a colour correcting primer has to be adopted.

This product has dual functions. For starters it has a primary function of extending the longevity of your makeup. Next it is formulated with colour correcting pigments to help conceal problem areas such as redness. A green primer for example helps to get rid of the redness commonly caused by zits. When using such a product, less is always more and you should always blend the amount applied lest it peeks through the foundation. Layer your foundation over and you are good to go.
