L'Oreal True Match The One Concealer, 1N Ivory, 6.8 ml

Product Information

Concealer is particularly tough because, like foundation, your color match can change with the seasons (and your skin tone). But there’s no denying that once you find a concealer that’s spot on (no pun intended), you’ll be hooked — adding concealer to even the simplest makeup routine can upgrade your look. Now that you know your skin tone family and undertones and you’re ready to use a virtual concealer shade finder or swipe some swatches in person, take these tips into account so that you get your concealer shade match every time.

Once you know your undertone and depth category, here are the exact shades you have to choose from. This method is bizarre — we’ll be the first to admit it — but we’ve seen it work. Hold a white piece of paper up to your skin. The white should create a cast of color on your skin. If your face suddenly appears more pink or blue, your undertones are cool, and if you give off a more yellowish hue, you’re warm. If your skin seems gray, you have neutral undertones. If you’re on the hunt for a concealer for mature skin, try the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Makeup Radiant Concealer with Hydrating Serum , which is formulated with hydrating ingredients and won’t settle into lines.Like foundation, finding the right concealer shade will depend on your skin tone and undertones. Your undertones are the colors that sit under the surface of your skin and unlike your skin tone, they don’t change as you tan. Once you’ve narrowed down your undertone, it’ll be easier to find concealer that will work for you. Many brands will list their concealer shades with letters N, W or C to denote that they're either a neutral, warm or cool shade, which makes it much easier to narrow down your options. The L’Oréal Paris True Match Eye Cream in a Concealer, 0.5% Hyaluronic Acid comes in 14 shades that each specify whether they have cool, neutral, or warm undertones so you don’t have to play the guessing game. If you plan to use concealer to cover any blemishes that are peeking out from under your foundation, the best way to choose a shade that will blend seamlessly is to use your foundation as a guide. In this case, your concealer should perfectly match your skin tone and not be either darker or lighter. Either bring the bottle of foundation with you to the store or find your shade on the shelf to compare. Oftentimes, you can find a coordinating concealer and foundation, like the L’Oréal Paris 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation in Espresso and L’Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer up to 24H Full Coverage in Espresso . If you want to contour with concealer , you’ll need a shade that’s slightly darker than your skin tone — specifically, by one to two shades. This will help create those natural-looking shadows you’re after. Again, it’s a good idea to choose a concealer shade from the same collection as your blemish concealer. As we mentioned, cool undertones appear in your complexion as hints of blue or pink and will be categorized as C in True Match Super-Blendable Foundation. Warm undertones appear more yellow or golden and appear as W in True Match Super-Blendable Foundation. If your undertones are neutral, which means you have a mix of warm and cool undertones, this will appear as N in True Match Super-Blendable Foundation.

Step 1. Start off by applying a primer, like the L’Oréal Paris Prime Lab Up to 24H Pore Minimizer, to create a smooth and even base for your foundation. A thin layer can make all the difference in how your makeup lasts and looks — smoothing lines, concealing pores, and minimizing redness.

While most people probably already have an inkling of what their skin tone is, the same can’t always be said for undertones. The difference between the two is that your skin tone refers to your overall complexion, whereas undertone refer to the colors that come through your complexion and affect its overall hue.

Use peach for fair to light skin tones, bisque for light to medium skin tones, and orange for medium to dark and deep skin tones.

For redness, reach for a green concealer . If you think about the color wheel, you’ll recognize that green is across from red, making it the perfect shade to neutralize redness caused by blemishes and blotchiness. For blue and purple areas yellow concealer should be your go-to. It will hide blue and purple areas like broken capillaries and age spots. For dark spots, an orange-hued color is just what you need. Reach for a peach, bisque, or orange concealer to disguise dark circles and dark spots. Look at the inside of your arm. If your veins appear blue or purple, you’re cool-toned, while green veins indicate warm-toned skin. If you’re not sure or you see a mix of blue and green, you may have neutral undertones. Finding makeup that perfectly matches your complexion has gotten easier in the past decade with more offerings and innovations on the market, but it can still be hard, especially if you’re a makeup novice . And if too much choice tends to overwhelm you, narrowing down the best options from an abundance of products can be a downright headache.If you’re wondering should concealer be a shade darker or lighter then you likely know that concealer doesn’t have to be used solely for concealing — you’re likely planning on using your concealer for a plethora of tasks. We recommend always testing a few concealer shades and purchasing at least two since your skin tone will likely change with the seasons, and because you may need concealer to perform other tasks besides covering up blemishes. Draw a triangle with the base under your eye and the tip towards your cheek; blend the concealer to instantly cover dark circles and brighten cheek area.
