OK, this is one of those off-label utilizes of a makeup product, so if you’re a stickler about only utilizing products in the method they’re intended, you may want to look away. For a second.

Well, technically, it isn’t a deal with product. It’s an opaque matte orange lip pencil, NARS precision Lip liner in Saint-Raphael. It’s one of the new NARS precision Lip Liners.
I’ve been utilizing it to color-correct a desiccated former pimple that’s now purple, as well as it absolutely works.
I wouldn’t utilize it on under-eye circles, though, since it is a lip pencil, as well as I don’t understand if it’s authorized for utilize along water lines or around eyes in general. however I’ll utilize it on my chin, my cheeks, forehead, nose as well as the sides of my mouth.

Here I’m utilizing it as a color corrector on my chin to hide Julian the pimple, who is STILL plaguing me.
We (or I) might actually talk about color correcting for hours. I believe it’s fascinating, however to briefly summarize (haha, great luck to me), orange color-correcting products appear to cancel out/neutralize purple as well as blue shades, since orange as well as purple sit across from each other on the color wheel, where they gaze each other down 24/7, throw shade as well as provide each other the evil eye…
Typically, you’d apply orange color correctors on purple areas, then layer concealer or foundation on top.
The before shot: Julian the pimple is consumed with me…
It’s called makeup improv, as well as I’m into it.
Where are ya, Julian?
Saint-Raphael is so great at hiding dark purple areas since it’s totally opaque. I draw a thin layer directly on top of Julian the pimple, utilizing the smallest amount of product I can muster, which I then set with a smidgen of translucent powder to lock it down.
And yes, I believe you absolutely requirement the powder, since if you you avoid it, the orange corrector can bleed into your foundation or concealer, thereby drawing a lot more interest to what you’re trying to hide.
Say, what?! I KNOW. Yeah, I never avoid powder when I utilize color correctors. It’s crucial.
