Concealer is considered a universal face product that is used in our daily makeup routine. Whenever you get those unwelcome blemishes, need to even out spots or camouflage dark under-eye circles, concealer is always the problem solver.
However, it can be tricky to find the shade that will match your foundation, and that will work well on its own. Concealer color range did not use to have too many options, though, during the last years, a lot of brands have expanded their color selection.
