Most concealers come in lip gloss-style tubes with doe-foot applicators. 'I personally like a moisturizing fuller-coverage concealer, as it can be sheered down or built up depending on your concerns,' says Sesnek. Like foundation, concealers offer different finishes, including matte, radiant, natural, and soft, as well as varying levels of coverage (sheer, medium, and full). For instance, if you have olive skin, your foundation might have neutral undertones, while your concealer may have peach undertones to correct for dark circles.

However, celebrity makeup artist Robert Sesnek says, 'If you're using concealer for blemishes, I recommend matching it to your foundation.'Ĭelebrity makeup artist Erika La' Pearl adds, 'With the right shade of concealer-undertones are also super important when picking the right shade-along with your perfect foundation match, you can really achieve that seamless look.'ĭepending on what you're trying to achieve, the undertone for your concealer might be different than your foundation. In most cases, you should opt for a concealer that's one to two shades lighter than your foundation. The most important consideration is the shade, so be sure to view the colors on an untinted screen when shopping online.
