Dullness: this can be in the form of dark circles, tiredness or just general dullness in skin tone. Purple and pink will brighten skin and neutralize any sallowness in your skin.
Check out these great products for brightening skin and combatting dullness!
- Urban Decay NAKED Skin Color Correcting Fluid – ‘Lavender – Balances Sallowness’ ($35, Sephora Exclusive). This corrector is in liquid, rather than cream form and is also formulated with vitamins C and E to nourish your skin. It blends differently because it is a liquid, but can also provide more sheer coverage. It also features pearl pigments to help add additional brightness.
