The genius hack for finding the perfect concealer for your skin tone

Say goodbye to dark circles with this colour-matching tip. - by Arielle T

The genius hack for finding the perfect concealer for your skin tone

Quality concealer is your undercover best friend. The right formula can cover up dark circles, camouflage pesky zits, mask redness, even out your skin tone all without creasing, caking, and smearing. 

However, it can be tricky to find the right formula for your skin tone - this colour matching technique takes the guesswork out. As reported by Allure, New York make-up artist Katie Jane Hughes shared one of her best beauty hacks during a recent masterclass in the Big Apple. 

Katie, who works with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, advises that the best skin to match your concealer to is the patch between your nose and check. Why? "It's the most neutral-toned part of your face," Hughes shared. 

Adding that most women choose a shade that is too light for their skin tone. Resulting in "a much muddier version of what you already have under your eyes," she explains.

RHW @rosiehw Beauty breakdown! SKIN: a pea sized amount @weleda_usa skin food on the high points. Followed by @glossier stretch concealer all over the face with @cledepeaubeauteus concealer to add more coverage where needed. CHEEKS: @jilliandempsey cheek tint shade Sunny with @welovecoco bronzer. EYES: @maccosmetics Quite Natural to shape the wing first and @makeupforeverofficial black cream shadow to define. That pop of silver @toofaced chocolate gold palette pressed on with finger and blended edges. LIPS: @fentybeauty Up to no good lipstick pressed on for a tonal change on the lip not a full color. BROW: @maccosmetics shape and shade in lingering HAIR: @jennifer_yepez Shot on my: @sonyalpha Rx100mk4
