Ideally, you want a concealer that’s very close, but slightly lighter than your natural skin tone. That’s the point of a concealer: you want to blend your natural skin tone into areas where you have blemishes.

So the best concealer color is generally one or two shades lighter than your skin tone. That way you can blend out darker spots in your skin.

A common area to apply concealer is under your eyes. There are often fine wrinkles or dark rings there you can fade out with concealer. The best under eye concealer will be creamier. This is an area where your skin is very fine and sensitive. A creamier concealer will moisturize as well as mask.

Most people have yellow undertones in their skin. So generally a yellow toned concealer will work with your skin tones.

So here are some tips to help you use concealer to can maximize its effect in the best way.

For older women, put dots of concealer in the creases that run from nose to the corners of your mouth. Blend it in, and you’ll look years younger.

You can use concealer under your eye, but also above your eye. Dot it under your eyebrow and smooth over. This will immediately bring out your brow bone.

For oily skin, a dryer formula of concealer works best. Use a light layer to give a matte finish to your cheeks and forehead.

When you’re in a hurry, you can use concealer instead of makeup remover. Just use it over makeup smudges or runs. This way, you can just do running repairs during a long day, and keep looking fresh.

This is a great tip. Use concealer before you put on lipstick. Priming your lips in this way gives you a very even tone to put the lipstick over. But it also lends depth to your lipstick, and gives you a rich matte shine.

So, that’s best practise for concealers. Have fun, and make the most of this incredibly versatile makeup item!
