DIY Color Correcting Concealer | Make Your Own Salmon Concealer

For this project I'm starting with a pink lipstick and a yellow color correcting concealer. I've chosen a dark neutral pink, it's actually not as red and cool as in the photo. There are a couple things to remember when choosing a lipstick for this if you want a usable product:

       - Use a matte or minimally shiny cream lipstick - absolutely no shimmer or gloss! 
       - Make sure the formula is similar to the concealer you want to tint. Oil-based with oil-based, and so on, or your concealer will separate. Test by mixing together a tiny amount of each; if the consistency looks creamy and even, carry on!
       - Go for a middle of the road, neutral pink tone. It's OK if it's bright, but you want to avoid extremely cool (violet, purple, lilac) or extremely warm (coral, orange) unless your endgame is brown or orange.

1. Once you select your color go ahead and slice off a little piece and place it in a small mixing bowl.

2. Next get your yellow corrector ; I just used the entire pan, since the yellow doesn't work for me as is anyway. 

3. Now you're ready to mix! Huzzah! Start by adding the lipstick a little at a time, mixing thoroughly as you go until you're happy with the shade. You can always add more, but you can't take it out, so take your time. I used a pickle fork.

4. I transfered the concealer back to the palette and using a toothpick, or something (it's not in the first photo and I don't remember!) I mixed it all some more to blend in any yellow left in the original pan. I stored the leftover lipstick for later use.

5. All done! Now I have salmon concealer ready to go in my color correcting concealer palette, a stash of DIY-project-designated lipstick, and I can still use the original tube just fine. Joy and abundance!

I'll be trying this concealer for you all to see, so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel for real video action!
