Tonewear Tinted Tone-Up Base [SPF35/PA+++] [Spot Lemon]

Emphasizes Dead Skin

No Darkening

Absorbs Well

Applies Thinly

Doesn't Clump

No Gray Tint

Feels Comfortable

Easily Absorbed

If you have a naturally calmer complexion, you might notice a bit of a mismatch between your neck and face when using this product.

It absorbs beautifully and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. Not only does it provide sun protection, but it also does an excellent job of evening out my skin tone.

톤웨어 틴티드 톤업 베이스 [SPF35/PA+++] [스포트레몬]

The person who is concerned about having a dark neck should try a yellow color corrector (base).

In the store, there are sometimes mini samples given, and the color is random, but they usually provide blue samples as there are fewer people who need yellow samples.
I had requested a yellow sample, but they said they didn't have any, so I couldn't test it.
I'm a sensitive type when it comes to ingredients, and even using a product just once can sometimes cause problems, so testing samples is essential for me.
Clogged pores can occur 30 minutes after application, 8 hours later, accumulating over 3 days, and even a week later.
These days, many products are made to not easily clog pores, but without actually trying them, you can't know for sure, so I was disappointed that they didn't provide the yellow sample I had requested.
In fact, I'm currently using the blue sample, which hasn't caused any issues after a month of use, but since the ingredient formulations can vary by color, even if one color is fine, it doesn't guarantee that the other colors will also be problem-free, so testing is essential.

This color may not be the most popular among color correctors (bases). This is because it is intended for use on skin without color or pale skin, or for dark circles - and dark circles are generally addressed with concealer, and those who are so blue that they need yellow to add color are likely to be in poor health. But not everyone in poor health would wear makeup.

East Asians don't often need to add yellow, as they already have yellow undertones.

Currently, due to chronic anemia, my skin is quite yellow - the area below the eye corner is shade 22, the forehead area is 24-25, so the two areas are different shades, and the neck is shade 23, but the crease of the neck is shade 35 (a coffee-like brown). 

The reason for the varying shades across different areas is that I've tried to block UV rays with fabric.

I'm sensitive to pore-clogging ingredients, and both mineral and chemical sunscreens tend to cause me breakouts, so I've been using a sports sun visor since 2 years before COVID. This visor covers the area below the eye corner, and over 5 years this has resulted in a 3-tone difference.

I also wore a scarf around my neck 365 days a year. This should have kept the skin tone bright, but because I have an atopic constitution, the friction from the fabric caused contact dermatitis (which I didn't notice), leading to pigmentation and a darker tone. But with care, I've now managed to get it to shade 23.

Given that I have yellow undertones and uneven skin from 22 to 25, you might think I just need a warm-toned 'tone-up' product. But no, I actually need it for true color correction, especially for the coffee-like shaded area of my neck crease.

Regular flesh-toned bases or yellow might not be enough for that espresso-like shaded area. A warm-toned beige might work, but that coffee-like shading is very difficult to color correct.Purple > Greyish brown
(This is the messiest color among color correctors)

Tone-up cream (white) > Looks like a general 17-23 shade with a white filter, but the brown areas don't look filtered and the white appears dotted.

Blue > While it neutralizes the yellow in the neck tone to look refreshing, the brown in the neck crease stands out awkwardly, looking like a blue hue is layered over it.
(Still, the blue base looks much cleaner than the white tone-up sunscreen)

Pink > Brightens the neck and connects well with the face. The brown in the neck crease is also slightly lightened, going from an espresso tone to more of a taupe gray.

Yellow > Turns the shade 23 neck, which was an espresso-like shaded 23, into a neutral 23, and the neck crease area also becomes a neutral tone. As it's in the yellow family, it blends naturally. However, it can't perfectly cover the pigmentation, as strongly correcting the espresso-like tone brings out an unwanted bluish undertone in the dark circles.

Beige > Connects the neck naturally as a nude tone, but the deep brown in the neck crease area is only slightly toned up, with the espresso color remaining.

Green was not purchased, so the outcome is unknown.

After testing various colors, yellow proved to be the best for correcting the grimy brown areas like the back of the neck and neck crease.

I chose the [Innisfree] product because reviews said it applies thinly without being too thick.

Personally, I'm quite satisfied. As the coverage isn't too high, it provides a natural-looking correction.

For neck shades 21 and below, I'd recommend purple or blue.
For 23 and above, pink.
For 25 and above, yellow, as the brown tones likely start appearing at that point, needing neutralization.

If there's pigmentation in the neck crease, yellow is a must.

Brands with yellow-based bases aren't that common - [Missha], [Etude House], [Dior], [Cellcure], [Alter Ego] are some options.

Based on site images, the color corrector coverage seems to go:
[Alter Ego] < [Innisfree] < [Missha] < [Dior] < [Cellcure] < [Etude House]You make a good point. The neck crease area is prone to buildup of impurities and developing flat warts, so a product with heavy coverage may not be ideal there.

Some additional considerations:

- A high-coverage color corrector in the neck crease could potentially accentuate the texture issues and clogged pores in that area.

- A lighter, more sheer formula may be better suited, as it can help neutralize the discoloration without emphasizing any skin concerns in the crease.

- An illuminating or radiant finish may also work well, as it can help brighten the area without relying solely on heavy coverage.

- Applying the color corrector sparingly and blending it well in the crease area would be important, to avoid an unnatural, cakey appearance.

- Prioritizing skin health and minimizing further clogging in that problematic zone is crucial, even if it means the color correction isn't as dramatic.

The key seems to be finding the right balance between color correction and maintaining skin integrity in the delicate neck crease region. A lighter, more skin-caring formula may be the best approach here.

Apply a moderate amount and gently pat it in with a puff.

Unfortunately, it tends to emphasize dead skin cells. You'll need to be thorough with your cleansing routine.

It's my first time using this base makeup, and I'm impressed with how well it adheres to the skin. It's resistant to water and sweat, so it doesn't break down easily.

First, give it a good shake, then apply an appropriate amount to your skin using your fingers or a puff, gently patting it in. While it applies beautifully with fingers, it tends to set quickly, so swift application is key.

This base has a thin, sheer fluid formula that absorbs into the skin, adhering closely for a lightweight feel. It's a comfortable base that's particularly good for addressing blue dark circles or areas with pigmentation concerns.

I didn't really find any significant drawbacks while using this product!

This tone-curating base product brightens and cleanses your complexion without darkening or breaking down the skin.

With its thin, moisturizing, and sheer fluid formula, it adheres closely to the skin without clumping. When applied before makeup, it also enhances longevity!

As it's a low-viscosity fluid, it's best to shake it well before use.

It comes in two colors: Icy Blue and Soft Lemon. I tried the Soft Lemon version.

Containing lemon extract and lemon peel oil, it naturally covers bluish dark circles and pigmented areas, brightening the skin!

It also provides mineral sunscreen protection by reflecting UV rays, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

I highly recommend this as a summer base essential that offers natural tone correction and improves makeup adhesion.

There's nothing particularly disappointing about this product. It's suitable for everyday use without any issues.

The best part is being able to choose between two shades depending on your desired outcome. It's great that it contains zinc, providing sun protection, while also offering brightening and complexion-evening benefits. The color looks natural too!

As a first-time user, I have no complaints!

Perfect for maintaining a radiant complexion even in summer without any dullness! The new tone-curating base with blue and lemon hues helps even out your skin tone for a fresh and clean look. Its sheer fluid texture adheres to the skin thinly and evenly without clumping, providing a tone-lasting effect that brightens your complexion for hours without darkening or fading. With gentle mineral suncare (SPF35, PA+++), it's safe for sensitive skin too. This caring base includes healthy ingredients like blue for hydration and lemon for a brightening effect. It's ideal for summer when skin tends to darken and makeup easily melts off! Available in two shades: Icy Blue and Soft Lemon. Icy Blue helps maintain makeup without darkening and covers yellowish undertones, instantly brightening the skin. Soft Lemon naturally corrects and brightens the complexion, effectively covering blue dark circles and pigmentation. Both colors, when applied as the first step in makeup, correct skin tone and texture, allowing for a thinner base application and resulting in clearer, more beautiful-looking skin!
