Try a concealer with a lot of yellow, or just yellow color corrector if you choose to wear make up. Yellow will cancel out the blueish tint from the hair roots. Put your regular foundation over the top.

Sorry if you already know this, but as a ciswoman with a lot facial redness (green for that!) I didn't learn about color correction until I was well into adulthood. And if it gives anyone a shortcut in their journey I'm happy.

Thanks! I don't own any makeup, but when I do I'll have to keep this in mind. As an extra, for some reason some skin around my mouth (under and sides) has a weird yellowish tint. Any ideas about that?

(Tiny aside: to be clear, I'm a guy that likes to look fem/andro)

So, I know for blueish pigment, like beard shadow, you counter it with orange/red, and red skin/irritation with green, but I'm not sure about yellow. It's typically the opposite end of the color spectrum to counter, so maybe blue?
