Here are a few guides that will help immensely with color correcting. Note: These guides were found on Pinterest.
How I Color Correct With Hard Candy:
I enjoy color correcting because it creates a natural look and I don’t have to use as much foundation.
Hard Candy sent over three products for me to test. I received the Color Correct Radiant Primer in Yellow, the Color Correct Expert Stick in Yellow, and the Sheer Envy Color Correct Cushion Wonder in Peach.
Be sure to check out all 7 Hard Candy Color Correct products. Each come in many different colors for all your color correcting needs. I love being able to color correct affordably!
Color Correct Radiant Primer in Yellow:
Hard Candy Color Correct Radiant Primer is the first step in neutralizing your skin concerns. These primers are formulated with hydrating ingredients that blend easily into skin and provide you with a neutral, smooth base to begin your makeup routine.
How to Use: Apply the primer after cleansing and moisturizing your face. Rub the primer into your skin until it is absorbed. Once the primer is dry, continue with your normal makeup routine.
OMGSH YES!!! The primer is amazing!! It really does neutralize any of my skin concerns. At first, I thought it was going to be too yellow and not work. However, it is a sheer yellow that does something magical to my skin. If you have extreme skin concerns, this might not work for you. Those with mild skin concerns will love this. It totally balanced my skin and I didn’t even need to apply any foundation on top.
I simply dotted it around my face and blended in with a beauty sponge. It worked perfectly. I was shocked that I didn’t need to wear any foundation and my skin felt like I had nothing on. This primer gets a HUGE YES from me. I set it with powder and was good to go for the entire day! I will most definitely be using this primer all the time!
Color Correct Expert Stick in Yellow:
Hard Candy Color Correct Expert Stick is a creamy, blendable, pastel stick concealer that helps camouflage skin imperfections. These color correctors feature a pencil shape that is precise and easy to apply. You’ll never need a sharpener for these soft, retractable pencils that are suitable for both beginners and professionals.
This stick is great and was so easy to blend. I also used a sponge to blend this into any areas that needed a little more help than the primer offered. Mainly, I used it around my nose and cheeks. It really concealed any imperfections and I am obsessed!
You don’t need to sharpen this stick because it twists up which is a great feature. I can’t believe this product is so cheap. It is better than a lot of other color correcting products I have used. It blends beautifully and isn’t waxy. This is another staple product I will be using frequently!
Sheer Envy Color Correct Cushion Wonder in Peach:
Hard Candy Sheer Envy Color Correct Cushion Wonder comes with a built-in blending sponge and instantly provides weightless color correction of any skin coloration concern. These color correctors eliminate the need for any additional tools with their built-in blending capability. Target and correct your major skin concern in one simple step by balancing out your skin’s unique coloration concerns. Available in four shades, these innovative cushions are designed to meet main skin coloration concerns.
Yes, another winner!! I have very dark circles under my eyes and this product did a very good job at covering them. It didn’t totally mask them, but it did make them a lot less noticeable. If you have more extreme dark circles than I do, it might not work for you. However, it does do a great job at minimizing my dark circles.
It is one of the best dark circle correctors that I have used in a long time. It is sheer, yet covers. How it still covers while being sheer, I will never know. I didn’t know any creasing with this product either. I simply set it with powder and it was locked in all day.
My entire look was accomplished without a single dab of foundation. I think my skin looks better than it has in a long time and I used no foundation at all! These products are serious must-haves in my book! I can’t stop looking at my skin and it feels amazing because I have barely any product on my face!
The next time you go to Walmart, you seriously need to check out these color correcting products from Hard Candy. I am so impressed and will totally have to pick up the entire range of color correcting products. They are so affordable which blows my mind.
Hard Candy Powders:
I also wanted to quickly mention that Hard Candy also released a couple loose powders. They sent me two to try. I love loose powders, especially for taking selfies. They do an amazing job at setting the face and blurring imperfections. Are these affordable powders up for the selfie challenge?
Hard Candy Sheer Envy Bake, Brighten and Set Loose Finishing Powder
Bake, Brighten, and Set your makeup with this multi-functional loose banana baking powder. “Baking” is a makeup artist technique that prevents creasing and gives a natural radiance to your undereye area. Five minutes is all you need for a bright, crease-free undereye that lasts all day!
This powder is finely milled and did a great job at setting the undereye area. I will totally have to try “baking” with it. It is fairly yellow so I have to be careful with it because I am so pale. However, I didn’t notice any yellowing of my under eyes which is awesome.
I will totally be using this powder all the time. It feels very luxurious and it is so affordable. If you are looking for an inexpensive banana powder, this is a great option.
Hard Candy Fast & Fabulous Translucent Loose Setting Powder
This weightless translucent powder is suitable for all skin tones and creates a soft matte finish. Extend makeup wear, mattify your skin, and optimize light reflection all at once. Appy powder over makeup to set your look and control oil.
This powder really does create a soft matte finish. It is silky smooth and very finely milled. I was impressed that you can find this great of quality powder for so cheap. A little goes a long way, so I will have this jar for a very long time.
The powder didn’t break me out and it really did a great job at setting my makeup. I will definitely continue using this powder and I highly recommend it. The next time you go to Walmart, you totally need to check it out.

I have never looked too deeply into the concept of colour correcting when it comes to makeup, but it makes sense that it seems to follow the same principles as hairdye! Thanks for sharing, and good luck to everyone in the giveaway!
