As skincare aficionados, we’re always looking for the best new foundations that make our skin look glowing and fresh as opposed to cakey and thick.
So we were bemused when we saw that green foundation is actually what produces the best results.

And fellow beauty obsessives were desperate to purchase the foundation, leaving high praise in the comment section.

“Need to buy that right now!” raved a third.
“I’ve never used foundation. BB cream is God,” said a fourth.
If you want to get your hands on the L’Oreal BB Cream in green that Christine uses, you can grab it for £10.99 in Boots and Superdrug.
But using colour correcting serums is nothing new when it comes to the world of beauty and make-up.

To understand just how this works, you need to have a good look at a colour wheel. Red and green are complementary colours, which means they're direct opposites on a colour wheel.
This causes two colours counteract each other when you apply them.

There are other colours that are commonly used in make-up to cancel out any imbalances.
There have been numerous red colour correctors on the market. Reds and pinks can be used to cancel out heavy eye bags, while purple is often deployed to erase any yellow, sallow tones in the skin.
Our make-up is going to start looking like all the colours of the rainbow after this nifty trick!
