The pretty green pigment in some concealers might be eye-catching, but it's there to do some seriously hard work when it comes to camouflaging redness. Concealer can come in all different shades, from skin matching swatches to peach-hued options, each with its own benefits. Green concealer is best for tackling redness in the skin.
Why does green concealer work as a color corrector for redness on the face
As far as the color wheel goes, green offsets red, so green concealers help neutralize redness in the skin from acne, dark spots, under-eye circles, rosacea and irritation. Whether you battle redness daily or only get the occasional acne, a green concealer is a must in your makeup bag. We rounded up some of our favorite formulas, from drugstore products under $5 to designer skin products.
