"In this step I want to talk to you and Sheena obviously, how to and how to select your concealer. Now in your example, you said your skin tends to be a little drier at the moment with a little bit of redness and small blemish here and there. I really think that you personally would benefit from a concealer that has a nice cream consistency but, but also stay put. It is very important that the concealer really conceals because that's what it's supposed to do. And you also don't want it to blend off or smudge off after, just a few minutes. Since you're spending money on a product, it should really work. There, a good trick is, if the concealer really covers up, is to, if you are in the store and you have the chance to test your product, is to check on the back of your hand and try to cover up, you know, any blue veins that you see there, usually a little more visible on fair-skin people. So let's see, I would probably go with something a little yellow base, I'm kind of in between there. So maybe the first two shades, lighter too like a medium light. And then if you manage to kind of cover up the vein, that's usually your shade. Your concealer should always be slightly lighter than your foundation."
