Concealer color selection and skin tone matching skills are an important part of the makeup process, which is directly related to the naturalness and overall beauty of the makeup. The correct color selection can not only perfectly cover blemishes, but also make the skin look more delicate and even.
First of all, understanding your skin tone is the premise of choosing a concealer color. Skin tones can be roughly divided into two categories: cool and warm. Cool skin tones are white with pink or blue tones, while warm skin tones are yellow or golden. You can judge your skin tone by observing the color of the blood vessels on the inside of your wrist: blue or purple blood vessels indicate cool tones, and green or olive blood vessels indicate warm tones.
Next, choose the appropriate concealer color according to the depth of your skin. People with light skin can choose white or natural white colors, medium skin is suitable for natural or slightly darker colors, and people with dark skin should choose dark or chocolate-colored concealers. When choosing, it is best to do it under natural light, because indoor lighting may affect the true presentation of colors.
In addition, the texture and coverage of the concealer are also factors to consider when choosing. For dry skin, you can choose a moisturizing concealer; oily skin is more suitable for oil-controlling, long-lasting concealers. The coverage depends on personal needs. For minor blemishes, you can choose a light concealer, while for severe blemishes, you need a product with high coverage.
When matching your skin color, you can use the "three steps of color testing": first apply several alternative colors on the inside of your wrist or near your jawline to observe which color blends most naturally with the surrounding skin; secondly, check the coverage effect under natural light to ensure that the color number does not appear abrupt; finally, consider the combination of concealer and base makeup products to ensure that the overall makeup tone is consistent.
In short, the choice of concealer color and skin color matching skills are a science in makeup, which requires careful observation and multiple attempts. By understanding the tone of your skin color, choosing the right color number, and considering the texture and coverage, everyone can find the concealer that suits them best and create a natural and perfect makeup.
