From the arsenal of professional makeup artists, concealer has long migrated to the cosmetic bags of all girls who are partial to makeup.

What is a corrector?

It’s easy to guess about the basic purpose of the corrector, even if you’ve never held this product in your hands: the name speaks for itself. The corrector solves minor local problems related to skin tone: hides pimples, redness and age spots, disguises dark circles and bruises under the eyes, and evens out skin color.

How is corrector different from concealer?

Corrector and concealer are foundations that are often confused with each other. And there are several reasons for this: firstly, they actually partially duplicate each other’s functions. Secondly, some cosmetics manufacturers do not distinguish between these categories, releasing one product to disguise all minor skin imperfections - and call it either a concealer or a corrector. But in fact there is a difference between them.

The concealer is designed primarily to cover larger areas of the face: to hide dark circles and dark circles under the eyes. The corrector can also be used for this purpose, but it best copes with more serious local imperfections: masking pimples, acne marks, small scars.

The concealer has a lighter texture and the shade is closer to the natural skin tone. At the same time, the corrector can be either nude or colored: yellow, green, orange and even purple (we will tell you more about the functions of this category of products below).

The corrector dries out the skin, while the concealer, on the contrary, contains moisturizing components.

The concealer's covering power is not that high, so covering up a pimple with it will be problematic. But the corrector, due to its dense and thicker texture, copes with this task easily.

The corrector is applied before the foundation (or instead of it), and the concealer is applied on top.

Types of face correctors

Choose the appropriate proofreader format depending on the task you face.

Liquid corrector

The most popular format: liquid correctors are loved primarily because they are easy to use.

Corrector stick

The second most popular format of concealer, which is very convenient to take with you: it definitely won’t smear in your bag, and you can use it to disguise an inopportune pimple even in a taxi on the way to a party. This product has a creamy texture, so it spreads quickly and easily over the skin and is perfect for girls with dry skin.

To hide a pimple or a small scar, proceed according to the following scheme: precisely apply the product to the problem area, wait until it “settles” on the skin a little (20-30 seconds), and then blend the edges with your fingers or a sponge. Apply a little powder on top to seal the result.

Pencil corrector

The corrector pencil has a high density and dry texture; antibacterial components are often added to its composition, so this product is ideal for girls with oily and problem skin. In addition, this concealer has the highest staying power. In addition to its main function, such a pencil also takes on several others.

Using a corrector pencil, you can visually enlarge your lips: apply a nude pencil, slightly extending beyond their contour. If, on the contrary, you want to make your lips a little smaller, outline them strictly along the contour.

The pencil can be used instead of a primer for the eyes or lips: shade the entire surface of the lips with corrector, and apply bright lipstick on top - the shade will be more saturated and the lipstick will last longer. Do the same if you use bright shadows.

You can use a corrector pencil to highlight the area under the eyebrow to visually lift it.

Cream corrector

Concealer has a creamy consistency and is usually sold in small jars or palettes of four to six colors: they are useful if you need to solve several different skin problems. In general, cream correctors are universal (they are even used for), they have a fairly dense consistency and high covering power, so they can be used to disguise scars and dark spots.

Cream correctors can be applied to different areas of the face with a brush, or even with your fingers. Best suited for normal to dry skin, may be too rich for oily skin.

Foundation corrector

On occasion, it can replace foundation, as it has a similar consistency. Choose a shade according to the same rules that you follow when choosing: it should perfectly match your skin tone.

Dry corrector

Not the most common concealer format, which, however, is ideal for oily skin, as it has a mattifying effect. Use to correct redness or age spots: in the first case, a corrector with green pigments, in the second, with purple pigments. Apply regular powder to match your skin tone on top.

How to apply concealer to the face: step-by-step diagrams

Concealer can be used for different purposes, and the techniques for applying it certainly vary. We'll tell you about the basic techniques that will help you use face corrector.

Corrector for the skin around the eyes

There are several techniques for applying concealer under the eyes. You can use the corrector to draw thin lines diverging from the inner corner of the eye, or put several dots under the lower eyelid.

But you should always adhere to one method of shading the applied product: correctly shade the corrector in the shape of an inverted triangle, and not stretching it towards the inner corners of the eyes. Please note that the corrector should be either skin tone or slightly lighter.

Our video tutorial clearly shows how to apply concealer correctly.

How to cover up bruises and dark circles under the eyes?

By following these simple rules, you can mask dark circles under your eyes on your own.

If the dark circles under the eyes are too noticeable, use a yellow, orange or pinkish shade of corrector, apply a corrector on top of a tone lighter than your skin, or immediately treat the area with foundation.

To hide dark circles, also use a color corrector. If you have fair skin, use pink, medium skin tones will suit peach, dark skin tones will suit orange.

Apply color corrector in the same way as a regular nude or concealer.

How to hide wrinkles with a concealer?

The corrector is also indispensable if you want to disguise fine wrinkles. There are three basic rules of use.

Then apply a concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your skin color under your eyes to hide dark circles and crow's feet in this area (remember the inverted triangle rule!). Choose a water-based liquid concealer that won't settle into creases: after using it, your skin will look more even.

Apply the corrector with a thin brush (or a thin applicator, for example, like Giorgio Armani High Precision Retouch) directly inside the wrinkle, on the area where the shadow falls. Lightening this area will visually smooth out the wrinkle.

How to hide a pimple with concealer?

To disguise acne, it is better to use color correctors; they better neutralize redness.

Use a brush to apply cool-toned green concealer directly to the pimple or redness.

Lightly press the pigment with your finger and blend its borders. Wait a minute for the corrector to “settle” on the skin.

Apply a foundation that matches your skin tone all over your face.

Corrector color palettes: how to use

Color correctors are products that help solve several problems: mask redness, dark circles under the eyes, age spots and other minor skin imperfections. To find out which one you need, read our instructions.

Purple corrector

Lilac tones neutralize yellowness, so a concealer of this color will help to cope with a dull complexion (in this case, apply the corrector to the entire face) and hide small age spots. Be sure to spread foundation on top.
In addition to the fact that lavender corrector removes yellowness, it also gives the skin radiance.
If you are severely sunburned, apply a corrective primer with blue pigments to your face. It will help soften the effect a little.
If you have dark or tanned skin, do not use a cool-toned product: it is unlikely to improve the situation.

Yellow corrector

Pink concealer

White corrector

White corrector is quite rare. As a rule, they are used to dilute foundations, concealers and correctors of too dark a shade in order to ultimately obtain a suitable color.

Green corrector

Green is the best color to neutralize redness, so this concealer is ideal for covering up pimples, spider veins, and a reddish complexion. To cover up more serious blemishes (like sunburn), mix green concealer with foundation and apply to problem area. If you have a reddish complexion, use a green color correcting primer.

Orange corrector

The most important correction product for dark skin. Orange concealer hides age spots, brownish circles under the eyes and other dark spots. It will also help to slightly lighten the dark nasolabial folds and the area in the corners of the lips, and neutralize dark circles under the eyes.

To characterize the low beam of headlights (ECE and DOT rules regulate the adjustment of only low beam), the concept of cut-off line is used. By it we mean a conventional line where the headlight beam ends with the transition ahead on the road into almost complete darkness. In accordance with the regulations of most countries, it is one of the main characteristics of vehicle lighting. Here is a video of what it is, watch it and everything will become clear:

The cut-off line must provide an optimal balance between sufficient road illumination for safe driving and a minimum level of glare for drivers of oncoming vehicles. Its position is determined by the level of the body - raising the limit results in severe blinding of other drivers, and lowering it leads to deterioration of road illumination.

A device designed to maintain a given position of the optical axis of the headlights relative to the road surface, regardless of driving conditions (speed, modes) and vehicle loading, is a headlight leveler. Since 1999, its presence has become mandatory for all cars produced in Europe.

Depending on the principle of operation, correctors can be:

with manual control (forced action);
automatic action.

Manual headlight range control

As the name suggests, the manual headlight leveler is controlled directly by the driver. This is done using one of the various drives:

hydraulic;
mechanical;
pneumatic;
electromechanical.

The electromechanical headlight range control is the most high-tech, which makes it more widespread and in demand. It consists of a headlight position switch, a gear motor and connecting electrical wiring.

The rotary switch (regulator) for the headlight position is installed in a convenient place for use on the instrument panel (usually to the left of the steering column). With its help, the driver sets the optimal cut-off line (headlight level) for driving. The switch allows you to raise or lower them to one of the fixed positions.

With the help of a gear motor (photo above), consisting of a DC electric motor, a worm gearbox, and an electronic control circuit, the rotational motion from the electric motor is converted into linear motion. Under its influence, a rod with a ball tip, which enters the latch of the lower part of the headlight (its top is hinged), forces it to change the angle of inclination, which leads to an adjustment in the vertical plane of the cut-off line.

Thus, the driver, reacting to changes in the position of the body under the influence of the weight of passengers or cargo, has the opportunity to manually adjust the desired position of the headlights using a switch.

However, quite often on the road you can come across a car whose headlights are either looking for something in the sky or shining under the bumper. Of course, the driver will only need a few seconds to manually adjust the beam of light in the vertical plane, but this will still be done “by eye”. Automation will make the adjustment much more effective.

Video of how manual headlight leveling works:

Automatic headlight leveling

A fairly reliable manual headlight leveler is still inferior to an automatic one, which provides better performance and is more convenient to use. In addition, due to the high intensity light emitted by xenon headlights, the use of automatic adjustment is mandatory for them. Using an automatic corrector, the light beam is maintained at the same level in accordance with driving conditions (road irregularities, acceleration, turning, climbing, braking) and the load.

Automatic leveling is also used with halogen headlights. Its design is simpler than the version with xenon headlights and allows you to automatically adjust the cut-off line depending on the position of the body.

The photo shows the ride height sensor

Automatic headlight leveling consists of ride height sensors (usually 2-3 sensors are used, front and rear), an electronic control unit, and actuators. The control unit, through sensors, monitors the amount of ground clearance on the front and rear axles (that is, it determines the angle of the body) and, based on this data and the speed of movement, adjusts the angle of the headlights.

The operation of the sensors is based on the use of the Hall effect (a certain potential difference arises on a conductor with a direct current passing through it, introduced into a magnetic field). The magnetic field in the sensors is created by permanent magnets built into the rotor, connected to the suspension by a rod. The stator is a kind of Hall sensor, the change in potentials on which determines the angle of inclination of the body.

The design is significantly reduced in cost by using just one ultrasonic sensor, which is attached to the rear of the housing using a hinged suspension. This makes such a correction system accessible for self-installation. In this case, the manufacturer indicates the minimum permissible distance between the sensor and the road. So, for most Hella correctors it is 250 mm.

The operation of the automatic headlight leveler is duplicated using a traditional electromechanical leveler.

Installing Hella automatic headlight range control

1. Remove the headlight and remove the old manual corrector (I had it on my Logan).

2. Enlarge the hole where the old headlight range control was.

3. Attach the new device socket to the sealant (viewed from the outside and inside of the headlight).

4. Next, install a new Hella headlight range control into this socket.

5. The vehicle clearance sensor is attached to the rear bottom. The headlights will adjust themselves depending on the load of the car (set at 26 cm).

6. The sensor wire was pulled in the tunnel where the tubes go.

That's all, installation cost 0 rubles, and the Hella universal automatic headlight leveling kit itself now costs about 14,000 rubles. Powered by a 12 Volt battery.

Price for headlight correctors: large selection

Headlight correctors can be a standard system, or they can be installed independently. Also, the driver, if desired, can replace the corrector on his car with a more advanced one. Today, trading enterprises offer their customers these devices from various manufacturers of various classes.

Prices for headlight correctors vary, depending on their type, over a very wide range. Thus, a VAZ driver can purchase a hydraulic corrector at a very reasonable price - from 280 rubles. up to 450 rub. And an electromechanical corrector will cost 1,700 - 1,900 rubles.

As for the universal Hella headlight auto-corrector, which can be installed on almost any car, you will have to pay 13,900 - 14,200 rubles for it. Devices of the same class differ in cost from other manufacturers, both downward and upward.

A headlight range control for GEELY CK can be purchased, for example, for an average of 1 thousand rubles; prices for this device for Lanos fluctuate in the same range.

The main thing is that when purchasing, we must not forget that for xenon headlights, regardless of the car model, the installation of an automatic leveler is mandatory.

Video - installation of electric headlight corrector for Opel Omega A with xenon:

Strong headlights from oncoming cars at night can blind the driver. In order to reduce the number of accidents, engineers thought about adjusting the headlights. Correction devices have been installed on all cars since 1990. Fashion originated in Germany as the flagship country of the automotive industry - only 8 years later it became the norm for other European countries. The only exceptions were cars with active suspensions.

What is a proofreader for?

Probably every driver has found himself in a situation where an oncoming car is blinding and it is impossible to see anything. Vision is restored only after some time. To prevent this from happening, headlight spotters are installed on cars. The device maintains the position of the optical axis during changes in the position of the vehicle body. The light generated by the optics should be adjusted when the machine is not yet loaded. After loading, the light flux changes direction, moving relative to the optical axis. To correct the situation, a correction system is needed.

If the trunk of the car is heavily loaded, the front part of the body necessarily rises a little. The light from the headlights goes up and can blind the driver of an oncoming car. The auto-corrector adjusts the tilt of the light - the beam remains at the same level when the trunk of the car is overloaded or for some reason its front part is raised.

Where is the headlight range control located?

Control is carried out from the dashboard - using a switch. As a rule, it is placed on the left side of the steering column. The mechanism itself is located under the reflector. After pressing the button, the rod moves the headlight, which is mounted on hinges. The design is equipped with three connectors:

for sensors;
for power supply;
for electronic adjustment of the reflector angle.

The principle of operation of the headlight range control

The purpose of the mechanism is to adjust the degree of illumination limit in low beam. When the far mode is turned on, this option is not necessary to use, because the device is not able to accurately indicate the line of light and shadow. Headlights must create high-quality illumination of the road, without blinding oncoming drivers.

The shadow line depends on how the reflector is positioned. The tilt needs to be adjusted, because it depends on how loaded the car is and which parts of it have the greatest load pressure. The headlights of an unloaded car emit a luminous flux that illuminates the area of the road in front of the car. If the tilt angle is adjusted as a result of loading, the direction of the light flux also changes. Using a spotter allows you to maintain the direction of light rays after changing the angle of the car body.

All correctors work on approximately the same principle. They differ only in the type of setting, which can be manual or automatic. The first type of device is equipped with a regulator, which is located inside the car. The driver rotates it manually, thus adjusting the degree of inclination of the reflector. In the second case, the system adjusts to the angle of inclination of the car automatically.

Kinds

Correctors of different types are designed approximately the same. They include:

road clearance sensor;
control device;
mechanical part - motor and gearbox.

Manual type device

This type of corrector is familiar to many drivers. These are usually installed on budget cars. The device is activated manually by turning a special switch made in the form of a small wheel. The position of the headlights on it is indicated using markings (graphics or numbers). The driver makes adjustments when necessary, depending on the change in the center of gravity of the car and, accordingly, its angle of inclination. He simply turns the wheel and the light beam changes direction.

After turning the wheel, a command is sent to the worm gearbox. The gearbox converts the movement of the motor into the translational movement of the kinematic element, which changes the angle of inclination of the light element. The design is quite simple - the headlight is mounted on hinges on top. It is touched from below by a rod, which, moving forward or backward, changes the vertical angle of inclination.

This is a very simple electromechanical device, which is its main advantage. But it has one significant drawback - drivers often simply forget to use it.

Automatic device

Here the driver does not need to do anything; regulation occurs automatically, according to sensor readings. The devices are installed on cars with halogen light-emitting devices or xenon ones. Xenon shines brightly, so having a spotter on it is a must. It is simply unsafe to drive with xenon without a corrector.

To measure the clearance, 2-3 non-contact Hall sensors are used. The device includes a rotor with built-in magnets and a stator. The sensor is attached to the bottom of the body and is combined with the suspension through a rod. The suspension “walks”, and information about this is sent to the rotor. The rotor turns, the magnetic flux changes. These changes are detected by the sensor. A control unit is connected, which recalculates them into the desired angle of rotation of the light elements. The signal is sent to the actuator. The control unit transmits not only the degree of inclination of the machine, but also the speed mode.

Installing headlight corrector

First, remove the right rear wheel. Next, we dismantle the mudguard and locker. We pull the cable through the rubber seal into the cabin, leaving a reserve under the arch. In the area of the right seat trim, unscrew the bolt securing the luggage net and seat belt. We take out the threshold trim and the pistons securing it. We remove the decorative threshold under the front door.

Now we prepare the sensor.
Bend the plate on it at an angle of 90 degrees.
We insert a pin into the mounting hole on the sensor lever, which is located on the trailing arm of the right rear wheel. Screw a suitable size nut onto the stud. To strengthen this connection we use a lock nut.
We position the device so that it is coaxial with the trailing arm. The mounting plate must be in tight contact with the body. The device lever should point down.
We select a convenient place to fix the device on the body and secure it.
We lay the cable to the sensor and secure it. It is advisable that it passes through a corrugated pipe.
We install the wheel, mudguard and locker. We stretch the cable along the sills to the front pillar - as a result, it should be brought out in the area of the ignition switch. After laying the cable, we put the threshold pads in place.

The electrical corrector connection diagram looks like this (the Lada Kalina diagram is shown as an example):

We connect the wiring to the connector. We insert the connector into the autocorrector socket. This must be done according to the instructions for the device. After this, the installation can be considered complete.

The headlight leveler is not the most important part in a car, but traffic safety largely depends on how it works. It is especially important to use a corrector with xenon - otherwise you can get into an accident in no time.

Many women dream of having beautiful skin and a healthy complexion. However, representatives of the fair sex most often use foundation and powder as decorative cosmetics for matting and masking defects.

Such products certainly do not hide minor rashes and visible flaws. Therefore, cosmetologists advise using special correctors that can transform your appearance and visually change the contours of your face.

Types of correctors, colors and textures

The corrector is a universal cosmetic product that can disguise uneven skin with the help of reflective particles included in its composition. In professional practice, he uses to disguise serious defects:

dark spots;
scratches;
capillaries;
pimples, acne, inflammation;
puffiness under the eyes.

In addition to its main function, the corrector often has an antibacterial effect due to the salicylic acid it contains. In addition, such products are divided into types depending on the texture and area of application:

It is appropriate to have all these correctors in your arsenal of camouflage products, using them for their intended purpose. It is also important to know the rules of color and be able to choose the right shade of the product to hide various types of skin irregularities. The corrector palette should have a basic set of colors:

The white texture will hide freckles and birthmarks. The color of the corrector should be lighter than your skin tone.
The yellow tint will perfectly cover reddish spots and help hide excessive pallor of the skin.
Orange and peach tones will help highlight a velvety tan, as well as hide imperfections on dark skin.
Green and blue colors easily hide enlarged pores, eczema or red capillaries.
Pink and red colors can remove oily shine, refreshing grayish skin.
A violet (lilac) tone will give a more natural shade to yellowish complexion.

In addition, the colors of precious metals have become quite popular in recent years. You can visually remove freckles with a golden texture, and a silver shade is used for evening receptions. This “steel” shimmer in the spotlight gives the skin perfect smoothness.

Correct use of correctors with different textures

How to use regular and dry face concealer? Before applying the corrector, be sure to thoroughly cleanse your face and apply a makeup base or cream. If the texture of the product is liquid, then the following application rules should be followed:

the product is applied to the area around the eyes using a small brush with fairly quick movements so that the effect of unwanted multi-layering does not occur;
easily and carefully brush a thin layer into the skin, then you need to wait a few minutes until the product dries completely and continue applying makeup.

Liquid concealer can visually weigh down the eyelid if its texture is too oily or if a thick layer of powder is applied on top of it. A dry face corrector will also shine on the skin only if applied correctly.

To do this, use the following step-by-step instructions:

Step 1. Apply a light texture cream to a cleansed face and wait until the product completely penetrates into the subcutaneous layers.

Step 2. You must use a liquid foundation.

Step 4. After this, you need to carefully shade the boundaries of the shades, turning them into smooth lines.

Step 5. Apply a light layer of powder over foundation and correctors. It is best if at this stage the product is transparent and crumbly.

Step 6. If the cheekbone line has already been formed in a dark tone, it is best not to use blush in your makeup.

A solid corrector is also used on top of foundation, precisely masking skin imperfections without going beyond the contours of redness or blemishes.

Contouring the face with colored pigments

This makeup technique, such as contouring, is used to correct certain facial features and give the face the desired relief. A combination of light and dark shades can make your nose appear smaller, add volume to your cheekbones and hide a heavy chin.

With the help of a multi-colored palette, brushes and sponges, you can create a completely new look. So, there are certain rules for using a dark corrector:

A light corrector is usually used to highlight areas of the face such as:

center of the frontal zone;
space of the sub-brow arch;
highest point of the cheekbone;
bridge of the nose;
chin;
relief above the upper lip.

Beginning makeup artists will only need to learn how to use two colors.

The principle of application is quite simple: a light tone highlights the desired areas, a dark tone mutes and hides excessive volumes.

For more professional makeup, a palette of six or more colors is often used, which, in addition to the primary colors, includes a green or blue tint, pink and silver tones. Manufacturers of such a product take into account the fact that all shades must be well combined with each other to achieve the desired color.

Common mistakes when using a color palette

Despite the apparent simplicity of the technique of applying shades from the corrector palette, proper sculpting depends on the shape of the face, nose, chin, and forehead. Visually, you can reduce or enlarge any of these parts, but often after applying correctors, girls in daylight are faced with the effect of a mask on their face.

This happens because there are certain errors when using the corrector:

It is worth applying the product only in case of a visible defect; in the opposite situation, it is enough to use only a foundation;
bright contouring is only appropriate for photo shoots;
careful shading of all lines is necessary, after which the effect of smooth shadows should be created;
generous application of the product will highlight and not hide the area that needs to be masked;
an incorrectly selected shade of corrector will look unnatural;
It is best to use special brushes to apply each individual color.

After the dry product is applied to the brush, you need to shake off the excess by lightly tapping the tool on your wrist. The shadow is usually applied under the cheekbone, on the sides of the nose and forehead. A light tone is applied under the eyebrow and in the corner of the eye. For daytime makeup this will be quite enough.

Correct selection of camouflage agent

After reading all the information above, the question arises - how to choose the right camouflage corrector for yourself? In order to choose the right corrective product for home use, you should focus on skin color and face shape. You also need to consider the end goal of using the product. So, correctors should be selected taking into account the following individual characteristics:

a light corrector should be close to the natural skin tone;
For very fair-skinned girls, pinkish shades of foundation corrector are suitable;
scars of a small location will be hidden by a yellow tint;
redness should be masked with a green tone of dense consistency;
to disguise dark circles, you should choose a liquid yellowish corrector;
if the skin is prone to oily, it is best to choose dry products or with a light texture;
dry skin needs hydration, so you should choose a concealer that contains caring components;
if there are fine wrinkles on the face, it is best to use a dry tone; liquid products clog the folds and focus attention on the problem;
a concealer with mattifying properties is applied only to areas of the face that are prone to oiliness.

When choosing the right product, you should not apply the tester to your wrist or palm. It is best to choose the right shade only if the color is applied to clean skin.

In order for the procedure of applying the corrector to be successful and give the desired result, professional cosmetologists recommend following simple rules:

Apply the product only to well-cleansed and moisturized skin;
in order to create a lifting effect, it is necessary to apply the texture using movements from bottom to top;
A concealer that is a tone lighter than your natural skin tone will help give a fresh look to a tired face;
with the help of light or yellowish correctors you can hide not only bruises under the eyes, but also swollen eyelids;
If a layer of foundation is applied over the correctors, then it should be shaded very carefully so as not to create a “dirty” effect.

Colors located opposite each other in the palette are called contrasting; they can mutually mask the opposite tone.

Conclusion

Concluding the story about the correct use of camouflage products, we should once again note the basic rules of application and sculpting:

A correctly applied tone can hide not only small, but also quite noticeable defects on the skin.
For a natural and fresh effect, you need to select a product based on your skin type and natural shade.
The corrector should be applied to areas that need to be emphasized or hidden to create the desired effect.
