Finding the right concealer has long been one of the great mysteries of
the beauty universe: Like theories about dark matter, theories about
concealer have been legion (if not quite as mind-blowing). Is the
perfect concealer lighter than your complexion? A quarter shade darker?
Do you test it on the pad of your thumb or around your nose? You'll be
relieved to know that if you have about an hour (including travel time)
and a hand mirror, you can find exactly what you need at a department
store. It's deceptively simple. But first you must find the right
foundation shade, says makeup artist Bobbi Brown. Take your freshly
washed, unmade-up face to the store and swipe several shades of
foundation just above your jawline. Now slip out to the sidewalk with
your mirror and, in the natural (probably unflattering) light of day,
see which swipe disappears into your skin. That's the foundation to call
your own. Head back into the store for your concealer, which should be
just one shade lighter than the foundation.
