A Corrective Concealer or Colour Corrective Concealer is a makeup product designed to change the undertones of your skin colour before you apply your makeup. The most famous example of colour corrective concealers in action in this image posted by Kim Kardashian on Twitter (@KimKardashian) while getting her makeup done.
These concealers are a wonderful way to blend in and hide any bruises you might have. Just covering a blue or purple bruise with a flesh coloured concealer is not enough. What you want to do is correct the undertones of your skin before you apply any makeup at all. I was a little sceptical at first but they won me over in the end.
I now use colour corrective concealers under and around my eyes, as they tend to be the first places to darken into bruising when my platelets are low.

Enabling layering and mixing provides total camouflage for almost any skin problem including blemishes, bruises, scars, birthmarks and black circles. It is also suitable to use as a bronzer. The light colour is suitable for redness, acne and so on. The medium colour is perfect for dark shadows in the under-eye area.

Glo Minerals Corrective Camouflage Concealer Kit
This product is a really small compact, that is easy to travel, like really small. It’s very smooth…almost like if you rubbed off a bit of butter or coconut oil with your hand. It is to put on under your regular concealer. It is a bit thinner than the others so you need to use a little more than you think. I usually use the yellow one to cancel out my dark circles and it does the job well. I’ll dab a bit on, blend it out, and put on my regular concealer on top of it. I also use the green one for some red spots on my face and I think it does an okay job. This sells for around $15 to $17 US dollars.

Not sure which colour will cover what bruise?
I was using the napoleon one for a while but only ever used the yellow – so just started to buy that on it’s own. The four packs are great to start but you might not use them all. Yellow is the best for the purple ones.
