Cream concealer question

Post by Lalama » Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:23 pm

I wanted to get one of the cream concealer sticks and I'm thinking the second lightest color would be good-but the swatch appears pretty yellow. I currently wear 12-13 white, 1 scoop white and 1/4 buttery yellow. I know I could get a sample-but kind of just want to order the full size with my next order :) Any help on the color hue would be great!

Not sure if I'm answering your question right but for concealers I tend to mix mine slightly on the green/yellow side and then apply foundation over it.

Hey Feyith, Thanks for your response! I might of thrown you off with my question because I posted my foundation color mix. I did that more to give an idea of my skin tone color. I was looking at the cream concealer sticks rather than the powdered concealers. The lightest shade looks a little too light and the second lightest appears pretty yellow, so I was just wondering if anyone else had these two colors and if that's the case?

I had the same concern-the swatch looks so yellow! I ordered a sample, and it's not nearly as yellow as it looks in that pic.

In that case...I think I will go for the second lightest color. Thanks!

I am about 14 white w/ 1/2 buttery gold/1/2olive. I have samples of 1 and 2. It varies from day to day what works best for me. I mostly use it under my eyes. Both should work well for your coloring. I would say they are neutral w/slight yellow. Unless you are very pink they should work for most coloring. The samples are lasting me a long time w/ daily use.
