Color-Correct, Don't Pile On

The most common foundation mistake is choosing a shade that is too dark or too warm to fake a tan. Any mismatch creates a visible line between face and neck that broadcasts artificial coverage.

For stubborn discoloration, reach for color theory instead of more concealer. A peach or orange-toned corrector cancels the blue-purple of under-eye circles, so you need only a thin layer of regular concealer on top.
