For makeup lovers who have already mastered the art of contouring for sculpted cheeks and a narrower nose, the new makeup technique of colour correcting contouring may be the latest trick to achieve a flawless visage.

Colour correcting is mostly found in concealer products, and is said to minimize any skin imperfections and lead to the appearance of a more even and balanced complexion. As basic colour correcting goes, green shades are said to cancel out any redness and blemishes, while orange can conceal the look of tired undereye areas with blue undertones. Meanwhile, the look of purple works to brighten a dull skin tone and yellow can cover dark patches on the skin.

Rather than using warm brown tones and toffee shades to carve out the cheeks, Vancouver-based beauty vlogger and self-taught makeup artist Tiana of TianaCosmetics has applied this colour correcting technique to contour her face. The YouTube vlogger can be seen sweeping on green concealer to highlight her nose and cheeks, purple to contour her forehead and yellow to balance out shadows on her eyelids. In fact, blending all the colours together is said to give you a brighter complexion with a subtle sculpted finish as an end result.

Whether you’re aiming to rock a more natural visage or are looking to swap out your bronzed look for a more luminous complexion, colour correcting contour may be worth a try to help you get a  flawless face. Here is a closer look at the latest makeup technique, for an updated twist on traditional contouring methods.
