As per beauty experts, your foundation must be one or two shades lighter than your skin tone. This is because when you use bronzer or contour then the foundation will blend it all together and give the perfect look to your face.
Should concealer match your foundation?
Beauty experts vary in opinion, but most recommend going a shade or two lighter for your under eyes and matching your concealer to your foundation (and, thus, your skin tone) for blemishes, dark spots, or age spots.
Can you use a lighter shade of foundation as concealer?
Foundation is typically lighter in formula than a concealer, but you can use a more lightweight color foundation as a concealer. If you’re only looking to brighten your under-eye area and not worried about full coverage, then a lighter foundation will work as a concealer.
How do I know my concealer shade?
The rule of thumb for picking your concealer shade is based off of your foundation shade. Beauty experts advise that everyone should have two shades of concealer in their arsenal, one lighter, one darker, since daily sun exposure means your skin tone shifts slightly all the time.
