    Thank you, as always, for being so friendly. Do I wish beauty influencers were clearer about WHY they were using a lighter concealer? Yes. But they’re making content for their audience of expert makeup users, and it’s not surprising something got lost in communication.

    I actually hate how it looks when it's lighter like I want the whole face to be the same tone
    Edit: I'm talking more about people who use extremely light concealers especially under their eyes which looks very strange. Beyond illuminating certain areas, I like the skin to maintain the same tone. But really, even if I don't like it, everyone can use what they want, it's subjective, the important thing is that you like it

    Concealer under the Eyes needs to be one to two shades lighter. Face Concealer needs to be the same shade as your Foundation.

    • @zahraa4149
      @zahraa4149 Місяць тому

      No. Even your under eye concealer doesn't "need" to be lighter than your foundation
      If you like the end result of a lighter concealer under your eyes, use one. But it is in no way a must

    • @Sidetracked81
      @Sidetracked81 Місяць тому

      The theory behind under eye concealer is to counteract the dark, which the majority of us have - AKA, blood vessels. The way to do this is to 'lighten and brighten'. It only needs to be slightly lighter. This gives the illusion of 'I've had a couple of extra hours sleep'. If you have the same tone, it may be too cohesive, therefore not doing anything lifting for your face. I've been a MUA for 20 years, so I've seen how this theory works. You do you though. X

      @zahraa4149 Місяць тому

      Foundations have different levels of coverage. Not all foundations have enough coverage to completely cover all imperfections.
      Full coverage foundations LOOK full coverage. They look heavy. Which is fine if that's the look you're going for.
      However, if you want your makeup to not look heavy, it makes more sense to use a light/medium coverage foundation to even out your skin (if you have minimal redness or maybe some discoloration etc so you have an even base), then use heavier coverage (concealer) over pimples or scars that your foundation doesn't cover as well
