How to Find My Concealer Shade for My Exact Skin Tone
Choosing the right concealer shade can feel overwhelming — especially with so many tones, undertones, and finishes. But with the right method, you can easily find your perfect match so your makeup looks natural, seamless, and flawless all day.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to find my concealer shade step-by-step — plus product suggestions that work for different needs and concerns.
Why the Right Concealer Shade Matters
Using the wrong concealer can make your makeup look cakey, ashy, too bright, or too dark. The goal is to correct and brighten without looking unnatural.
✔ Too light → Creepy, chalky look
✔ Too dark → Makes dark circles look worse
✔ Wrong undertone → Looks ashy or grey
So let’s learn the right way to find your perfect match!
Step-by-Step: How to Find My Concealer Shade
this easy method:
1. Know Your Skin Tone
Skin tones fall into three broad categories:
Fair
Medium
Deep
2. Identify Your Undertone
This is the subtle tint beneath your skin surface. There are three types:
✔ Cool – Pink, red, or blue undertones
✔ Warm – Golden, yellow, or peach undertones
✔ Neutral – A balance of both
How to check undertone:
Look at your veins under natural light:
Blue/Purple = Cool
Greenish = Warm
Hard to tell = Neutral
Jewelry test:
Silver suits cool
Gold suits warm
Both = Neutral
Match Concealer to Your Skin, Not Your Foundation
Concealer should be 1–2 shades lighter than your skin, so it brightens without being stark.
For under-eyes: choose 1–2 shades lighter
For blemishes: choose the exact match to your skin tone
4. Test in Natural Light
Always test concealer on your jawline or cheek — not your wrist.
➤ Blend it out — if it disappears into your skin, it’s the right match!
5. Consider Coverage & Finish
✔ Light coverage – everyday natural look
✔ Full coverage – hides dark circles, spots
✔ Matte – best for oily skin
✔ Dewy – best for dry skin
