undereye concealer-are you supposed to go lighter or darker?

Post by corinne76 » Fri Mar 22, 2013 11:08 pm

I have the lightest cream concealer and I *think* it looks good as an undereye concealer but I'm wonder if I should use the 2nd lightest.
My foundation is 1 Buttery Gold:8
I don't really have dark circles, I just want to brighten up a little.

I think it will be too dark, but you could always sample it.

thanks. I ordered a sample. I use the cream concealer for both undereye and coverup. Judging by the swatch, it will be too dark for both, but I guess it can't hurt to try.

I'm about the same as you, I also use buttery gold, and in the medium foundation I was 1 to 8 or 10. I use the light concealer both for coverup and for under eye concealing, but I have dark circles that need covered. Hope your sample worked!
