Re: Picking the right shade of concealer
I did some research on concealer recently! According to what i found, if you plan to wear concealer with foundation, then it should be one or two shades lighter, if you plan to wear it by itself, then it should be as close to your skin tone as possible.
Makes sense. I bought mine according to this very logic!
I was thinking the same :D.
IFor some reason lighter concealors dont work for me, esp for my under eye circles. I tried using lighter shades for concealor on my eyes and they end up looking really gray and baggy as I am olive toned. NC42 is working for me cause even though it looks dark but when I apply it, it blends with my foundation and gives a natural look and and my eyes dont dont gray and come out bad in pictures(lighter shades of concealor always come out bad in pics for me). i think it depends on your skin color and your skin type. Maybe lighter shades of concealor for for people that have fair skin tone.
^ This! I do think if you are wearing a concealer alone then same match would be best to go with. However with a foundation on, you should get a darker one cuz otherwise it wud end up looking grayish on you.
