Concealer shade match

[mEoRgAn]

Hi I'm new to using makeup and I don't know if the concealer should be darker than my skin tone so that when I add highlighter it blends closer to my skin tone

@mEoRgAn @The concealer is usually a shade or 2 lighter if you want to brighten. It can also be close to your skin tone. Just personal preference.

Agree. Usually concealer should either match your skin tone closely or be just slightly lighter depending on what you want it to do. A much darker concealer normally won’t blend into highlighter better, it can actually make the under-eye or highlighted areas look muddier. For beginners, staying very close to your natural skin tone is the safest and easiest option.

Hi, @mEoRgAn !  Your concealer should be the same shade or lighter than your foundation (or whatever you're using as a base).  I use a lighter concealer than my foundation and have always been happy with the results.
