The key for optimal concealer coverage is selecting the proper shade for your skin. First, determine where you skin falls on the spectrum from fair to deep. Then, it’s important to identify your skin’s undertone, and doing this is as simple as looking at the inside of your wrist. Blue or purple veins indicate a “cool” undertone, blue-green is “neutral,” and slightly green or olive veins mean you have a “warm” undertone. Every shade of Dermablend concealer and foundation has a number ranging from 0 to 90 that corresponds with the depth of skin tone, as well as a “C,” “N” or “W” for undertone. This makes it easier to find the best shade match for your unique skin.
There are a few ways to ensure your concealer (and foundation) stay in place and look freshly applied all day. Preparing the skin for makeup with a product like
Insta-Grip Jelly Primer creates a smooth surface for enhanced application. Using a setting powder or spray as your final makeup step can help prolong wear-time as well.
