FAC Color Theory & Application 2

Question 1

Which color corrector is best used to neutralize post-procedure redness from laser resurfacing?

Accepted Answer

Green

Answer

Green color corrector neutralizes red tones because green is directly opposite red on the color wheel.

Question 2

A patient with olive skin (Fitzpatrick Type IV) wants a foundation recommendation post-filler. Which undertone should you prioritize?

Accepted Answer

Warm golden-yellow undertone

Answer

Olive skin typically has warm golden-yellow undertones, and matching this prevents a washed-out or ashy appearance.

Question 3

In the Munsell color system, what does 'chroma' refer to?

Accepted Answer

The degree of color saturation or intensity

Answer

Chroma in the Munsell system describes color saturation — how pure or vivid the color is relative to a neutral gray.

Question 4

When camouflaging a bruise in the yellow-green healing stage, which corrector is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Peach or salmon corrector

Answer

Yellow-green bruises are neutralized with peach or salmon correctors, which introduce warm red-orange tones to cancel the yellow-green.

Question 5

Which property of light most directly affects how a lip filler result appears in photographs versus in person?

Accepted Answer

Color temperature of ambient light

Answer

The color temperature of light sources (warm incandescent vs. cool daylight vs. flash) dramatically shifts how lip color and volume appear in photos.
