How to cover up hyperpigmentation on Black Skin

Colour correcting is the next step of the process, for which Adenuga recommends using an orange or peach toned corrector, and applying small amounts with a small, fluffy brush to the affected areas and gently blending out the edges. After colour correcting, apply a medium coverage foundation using a stippling technique, building coverage and focusing more on the areas with hyperpigmentation on Black skin.
