How to Match Concealer & Foundation Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Kelly on behalf of Expert Village I am going to be talking to you about concealing acne today. We are going to be matching the concealer to her skin, always making sure our hands are nice and clean before we touch the skin. I am going to be using a stick form of concealer, which looks something like this and basically what we are going to do is we are going to put a little stripe along the jaw line and let it sit for a minute, and just blend it in ever so slightly, and it should basically disapper into the skin. You never want to have to work really hard to blend your makeup, if you feel like you are constantly trying to rub your makeup into your skin it is probably not the right color, your makeup should almost melt right into the skin, you shouldn't have to work really hard to blend it. You want to make sure you are blending your makeup with the undertones of the skin, Amelia here has a very golden undertone to her skin,so we want to pick products that have more of a golden base to them. If you have more of a pink undertone, you wouldn't necessarily want to pick "pinker" products, but you always make sure that the product is blending with your undertone. Again going back to the neutralization of discolorations you can definitely pick like a more green based concealer if you are trying to neutralize redness, or you can pick a more a yellow based concealer if you are trying to neutralize purple and blue discolorations on the skin."
