Colour corrector powders

How exactly do you use colour corrector powders like the ones physicians formula have?

Do you first apply moisturizer, then primer, then the colour corrector powder, then the foundation, or does the powder go over the foundation and if it does, won’t you see the green/purple or what ever other colour corrector you used over the top of your foundation?

Thank you

    Powder goes over the top, only use a very small amount. & Say if it was redness on your nose & cheeks & you had the green powder I would dust it only in those areas very lightly.
    I honestly think a corrective concealer works better though but see how you go

    I would never use eye shadows you need powders there 2 different products for 2 different things

    Thanks for this. Do you know if you can use powder eyeshadow instead of the colour corrector powser? the non glittery kind of course.

    Thank you

    I’d be iffy about using shadow as they are made to be pigmented and show up and not made to blend with your skin tone like specially formulated powders. I’d do the opposite and use correctors as shadows because they can really brighten your eyes. I have a discontinued EDM corrector in peach which is meant to brighten and hide shadows etc which I use as a shadow just to give a natural, brightened look.
