Lipstick as Concealer!!??... and General Colour Correcting.

Lipstick Concealer?!

This has been going around the various beauty communities of the web lately along with a lot of mis-information, so I gave it a go myself to show how lipstick can actually be used as a colour correcting concealer!!

I also try to explain the general idea behind colour correcting and colour-theory...

By laying a complimentary or opposite colour on top of a colour, you will neutralize it, place them side by side though and you will make them more intense or 'compliment' them! 

Watch the video for the low-down...
