What's the Scoop on Green Concealer?

I've seen weird concealer colors at the drugstore like green and yellow. Who the heck are those for, zombies?

Ironically, those wacky colors are specifically designed not to make you look like a zombie. That's right—depending on your skin struggles du jour, a green, yellow or even purple concealer will work so you don't look like a Night of the Living Dead extra at work on Sunday morning. Read on to find which color will work wonders for you.

The secret to finding your correct cosmetic is all in the color wheel. Neutralizing colors are found directly across from each other, so if you want to "neutralize" that glaring red pimple, all you have to do is look across the color wheel to know you'll need a green concealer. And simple as that, you can stop (or at least conceal!) your complexion conundrum.

Now here's a full rundown of what the yellow, green and purple versions will do for you.

• Yellow (or apricot): This color will warm your complexion and hide any bluish bruises or under-eye circles, so you can party into the night without worrying about the under-eye bag brigade showing up the next day.

• Purple: The lavender shade is perfect to normalize yellow-colored skin or brighten sallow complexions. This multitasking wonder will also hide dark spots on medium skin tones.

• Green: As mentioned before, this color neutralizes red toned imperfections like blemishes and rosacea. We're thinking this color will be a godsend for the telltale red wine flush after a night out with the gals.
