Ever try to cover up a nasty pimple with your concealer or foundation just to be left with a splotchy, mountainous mess actually attracting more attention than not? Yeah, me too! Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.
The problem with using makeup to cover up a blemish is that it most likely doesn’t have the proper undertone to conceal the redness caused by the blemish. There is an easy way to determine what color concealer you will need to combat your skin discoloration. Simply use the good old color wheel as your guide. Whatever color you are trying to disguise will be counteracted by applying the color on the opposite side of the wheel. In the case of covering up a pimple, you would need a concealer with a green undertone. If you don’t know what undertone your concealer may have, there are also color correctors that do just the job of concealing. Using a color corrector will require a top layer of your concealer in order to blend in the concealed area with the rest of your skin.
