Correctors are the pigments that fix what color alone cannot. They neutralize unwanted undertones — an ashy grey or red brow, a dark or cool lip, a heal that has drifted — by laying the opposite tone underneath or over the work so the true color can read. This is the range artists reach for on corrections, color-shifted healed work, and difficult undertones.
Using correctors well is color theory in practice: warm neutralizes cool, and a soft orange or salmon counters blue-grey. They are typically an intermediate-to-advanced tool, used in a dedicated pass rather than mixed blindly into color. Pair them with the brow and lip ranges, or see all PMU pigments.

Frequently asked
What is a color corrector pigment?
A corrector is a pigment used to neutralize or rebalance an unwanted undertone rather than to add a finished color. By placing the opposite tone (warm against cool, orange against blue-grey), it lets the intended brow or lip color heal true.
When should I use a corrector?
On healed work that has shifted grey, ashy or red; on naturally cool or dark lips before a lip blush; and on skin whose undertone would otherwise pull the chosen color off. It is used in a deliberate corrective pass, not guessed into every mix.
How do I neutralize a grey or ashy brow?
A grey or blue-ash heal is cool, so it is countered with a warm corrector (orange/salmon family) before or under a fresh warm brown. The corrector cancels the cool cast so the new color reads as brown rather than grey.
Can beginners use correctors?
Correctors reward an understanding of color theory and healed-result behaviour, so they are usually an intermediate-to-advanced tool. Used wrongly they can push a result further off. Practise the neutralizing logic on synthetic skin and study each product's guidance first.
Are the correctors vegan?
Yes. The full Elite x Perma Blend corrector line is vegan.
