• STEP 1: Consider concealers that are one to two shades lighter than your skin
tone. Remember that the idea is to make a darker spot blend into your
complexion.
• STEP 2: Select a concealer most appropriate for the area you wish to cover. A
creamier version is recommended for the delicate under-eye area, while a drier
formula is better suited to other facial skin.
• STEP 3: Test variations of a yellow-based concealer, since white, green and pink
concealers can leave you with colored rather than concealed imperfections.
• STEP 4: Sample a few versions. Consult with makeup artists from a few lines
and request a sample to try. When purchasing from a drugstore, ensure that you
can return any item that doesn't complement your coloring.

Tips & Warnings

• Concealer may be all you need to balance out your complexion. Many women
forego the foundation, set their concealer with powder and head out!
• Go a shade darker during the summer months, when you have a little more color
to your skin.

How to Choose Foundation

Difficulty: Moderate

To even out your skin's appearance and create the illusion of flawless skin, head to the

Instructions

benefits.

sheer to heavy coverage and finishes that range from satiny to matte.
