Correcting Colors with Concealers

Blemishes, acne and uneven tone are what I’m scared of, once in a month at least I these problems gets on my face. And I have no clue how to hide them unless I found the best ever discovery on makeup and that is the Concealer. Basically, it is a makeup owned trick that hides everything even your eyebags. If you are traveling from place to place then you will know the pain of this eyebag and unwanted blemishes. Even men can have this problem too. And to hide them concealer is the best.

A lot of people don’t know that concealer is not a skin matched complexion; rather it is in different shades, these different shades neutralizes with our skin tone to give that flawless complexion. Main colors that are used widely is green, red, orange, yellow and even pink. Every color has its own way to hide a specific problem.

Concealer bases (color wheel)- Skills are very hard to gain, and in makeup war of perfection it is even harder. Every skin has its own flaw to hide; concealer is basically a mousse of colors that conceals. And to understand which one does what you need to apply it and experiment. But if you are reading this article then you will know everything about it. It is very simple as we learned in Elementary school that opposite color cancels out the other. Like green cancels the green. So if you are having red acne blemishes then green will cover it up. This simple color wheel will make you understand what to choose in the opposite to cancel the other.

This will help you know what should be used when. Now let’s discuss the other problems.

Green Concealer- as I said before green neutralizes the red. And so the color green concealer is best to use to get rid of all the redness from your face. If you are having rosacea, windburn or sunburn then the green primer will be best to conceal and correcting color. It will reduce the redness and get your skin perfect to use your favorite foundation.

Purple, lilac or lavender concealer- it is best to use on the yellowish skin tones that you may have. People with pasty, dull, yellow tones can hide it with this purple or lilac colored concealer. If you need to remove it from your entire face then you can use a lavender primer.

Pink Concealer- it is a combination of red, orange, and yellow hues, it is more like peach or salmon color which brightens the area you need, mostly used under dark eyes circles. It literally covers your raccoon eyes and gives sallow olive tones skin and brings out the radiance.

Yellow Concealer- It is best in correcting colors like blue, violet and blue-violet. It covers up the colors of veins, blue or violet bruises, under eye cycles. They can be used to bring that bright look to your face. It can also be great in the base for eyeshadow makeup.

Orange Concealers- People with lighter skin complexion should not use this color as a concealer, rather you can use it as a contour or as a bronzer. This color is perfect for the people with a darker shade to cover up the dark circles and other spots.

White concealer- If you don’t want to look like a sick old lady from a hospital then you need this to highlight the parts of your face like under the eyes, nose bridge and also the cheeks often. This will make you look highlighted with parts that really need to be to look natural.

Brown/ dark concealer- This is the need of every one. You need to contour your face or you will look like a zombie that is roaming around. Trust me! Without a contour, you will look so dull and dead that people will actually think you are sick. Dark concealer is a must in correcting color.

7) Use this tutorial to create abstract lines similar to those in the image below. These lines must be in the Light Effects folder. You can create a separate folder, but do not forget to change its blending mode inColor Dodge .


8) Create a new layer (out of the folder), then using the Lasso Tool with the settings below, make a selection as in the next image. Press D to reset the colors, then go to Filter> Render> Clouds. Change how this layer joins in Soft Light.

Now your layer palette should be similar to the one below.



10) Select the layer that contains the person (Layer 1 in the above image). Press Ctrl + J to make a copy of this layer, then copy the layer to the original layer. Click Ctrl + Click on the image of the copy layer, go to Select> Modify> Contract and set the value to 2 px. Press Ctrl + Shift + I to reverse the selection, then go to Filter> Blur> Radial Blur and use the settings in the image below. Change the linkage of this layer to the Linear Dodge and put an opacity of 60%.

Photoshop Magic For Newbies!"

 

Hi, my name is...  Fabian Barajas and I have my own photography business. I shoot digital and it's no secret that I love Photoshop. I have been using it for about 5 years now. At first I was very intimidated by it. At one point, I even uninstalled it from my computer thinking I could never learn the darn thing. I eventually reinstalled it and purchased several Photoshop Books (which had more pages than I cared to count) and searched the web for lessons that I could use and easily master.

Needless to say, my search led me down many dead-end roads. Many of the tutorials were dull and boring or simply did not apply to my photography business. It was time consu- ming to search and separate the good from the bad. I wanted to take my photos to the next level. As a result, I have often times came up with my own way of doing things in Photoshop that other so-called Photoshop experts would consider unorthodox or just plain wrong. But to me, the only thing that matters is the end result.

 

Take a good look at the images you see here. I have personally edited these photos with EASY to follow techniques that you too will learn in my new video series, "Photoshop Magic For Newbies."

Clipping Path and it’s Usage

Clipping path services are used to remove the background and to do this it is first hand drawn around the object to detach it from the background. 

The pen tool smoothly draws along the object and then you can detach and add or transparent the background according to your need.

The clipping path can be compared to scissors that cut the article out of the newspaper, leaving harsh and strong edges. Photoshop has all kinds of editing tools, and from there two important tools for photo clipping services are enchantment wand tool and pen tool. The tool can be found in your tools palette. Using enchantment wand tool is very easy, all you need to do is tap on the image and Photoshop will detect shades of the pixels, and the clipping will start along the same shades. This can be utilized when the photo has a fixed shape.

Another clipping path is done all by hand; individuals have to draw a blue line along the subject or the object to separate object and the background. Pen tool has more sub-tools to draw with; you are possibly familiar with Anchor Point, Convert Point Tool and Erase Anchor Point, utilizing all this, the image is zoomed in and out to get a closer view for smaller spaces. Image clipping needs patience and practice to have perfection.

Clipping Path Service with Pen Tool

What clipping path means?

The pen tool is used to outline these objects and subjects. You can use it in Photoshop. It simply outlines the object and the subject to separate both and makes a transparent background which can be changed into a new background.

Where clipping path is needed?

Background Removal- Clipping path is especially needed to cut off the background. When you think the background is not suiting product you can easily change it. Firstly you have to make the background transparent by unlocking the layers and deleting the background layer, create a new layer to set the new background. You will see the transparent after the layer is deleted.

Image masking- when the images have the hair or fur then the masking is used but if the body is straight and has curves and lines that is hard and needs no softening then the clipping path is used. You can use it for the lengthy lines.

Shadow drop- it actually doesn’t use directly but some parts may need to cut off and add with a new shadow just get that natural look. Everything has shadows, and what doesn’t have is not real.  

Ghost Mannequin- It totally depends on the clipping path; you will need to select the mannequin to detach it from the body of the product which is exposed in the image. Hidden part is hidden by the product itself and so it doesn’t need it. After doing it you can also change the background if you desire, which is also done with clipping path.
