Choosing the right colors for your makeup

Concealer can be used not only to cover blemishes, but to also even out skin discoloration. Particularly around the eye area, blue or purple tones are common.

To conceal a bluish area, apply a concealer with an orange tone, lighter than the foundation color, this will counteract the blue. For purple shades, apply a yellow based concealer.

To neutralizes the redness found in blemishes and scars, apply a green concealer first then apply a concealer that matches the skin tone over the top.

It is important when choosing your concealer not to use a shade that is too light, this will draw attention to the area rather than covering it.

Be sure to set the base with a powder makeup for longer lasting coverage.
