I have 2 shades of concealer, one is light to lighten and the other is darker (close to my natural skin tone). I don’t really wear foundation at all. when I contour, I do it on my natural face after applying a translucent powder all over my face. I was just wondering, in terms of red spots coverage etc. that are NOT in the areas I want to highlight … do I use the light shadow for everything? or should I use the natural / darker shade to conceal imperfections before adding the lighter concealer for the bright areas?
I would use concealer that is the same color as your skin for covering blemishes and use a lighter one to highlight.
