L.A. Colors FYX Color Correctors Shades

Yesterday I posted about my $3.00 color correcting find from Walgreens! I will put some swatches up on this post.

Here is what the shades look like in the packaging it comes in:

Each shade is 0.09 oz but they are all very pigmented! For color correcting each shade neutralizes a problem area on your face. This product does specify which shade corrects what area on your face.

Here are the claims:
Peach - brightens dark spots
Yellow - neutralizes purple tones
Green - reduces redness
White - highlights & brightens
Lilac - neutralizes yellow tones

The only two shades I have not experimented with yet are Lilac and White. This is because I do not have any yellow tones on my face, and for the white when I originally swatched it to me when I blended it...the shade was so glittery.

Here are some swatches of the different shades:

You can see what I mean by the white shade is glittery. I do think that I could possibly make it work as an inner eye highlight.

Each shade is easy to blend with your fingers or I use sponges to apply them to my face. I would recommend going to Walgreens to see if they are still available and only for $3.00!

L.A. Colors FYX Color Correctors

After Christmas means after Christmas beauty steals from basically any store! My favorites are checking the deals from Target and Walgreens just because over the years that is where I have experienced the best markdowns.

This year I stopped by Target first and wow did they do markdowns so quickly I missed out on snagging anything that caught my eye. I went to Walgreens next and found several things that interested me but I only picked up two of them. The L.A. Colors Fix Complexion Concerns Color FYX Color Correctors is one of the two items!

Pictured Here:

Normally as marked it retailed for $6.00 but I went when it was 50% OFF resulting in only paying $3.00 for the whole set! That's a steal in my book because you get get 5 colors and while they are only 0.09 oz they are all highly pigmented.

Honestly I have never color corrected or used products to color correct before so this was a pretty exciting new purchase for me. Got to say I am now addicted to covering any acne spots (I have been getting more lately because of stress *sigh*) with the green corrector and then layering concealer on top. Luckily my skin tone almost exactly matches with the peach corrector mixed with the yellow so I almost don't need to put concealer on top of color correcting my under-eyes.

To color correct my under-eyes I start with the peach shade and draw a shaded triangle just like I would concealer  I blend this peach color out to where it covers my dark circles, but add a few dots of yellow on top of the peach to lighten/brighten up the area I just color corrected with the peach. If the color of the peach with the yellow looks close enough to my skin tone I don't add concealer I just go straight into powder foundation. If the color of the peach with the yellow does not look close enough to my skin tone I add concealer before going in with powder foundation. If I need a full coverage look I would use liquid foundation but there really has not be an occasion for full coverage with the start of the year.

Here's the back of the packaging:

The back of the packaging is nice because it shows you where you can use the color correctors and where to place it on the face. It also tells you what color neutralizes what, so for example green reduces redness, blemishes, and blotchy skin. This takes a lot of the guess work out if you have not color corrected before.

Ultimately I would recommend picking it up in store for $3.00 to experiment with and see if you like color correcting before moving onto higher $$ products. I would also stick with this product as opposed to buying other color correcting brands because I think it does the job just fine without costing a lot of money
