Then, for concealing, Barose says to choose a color close to your skin tone, and that liquids blend in best. This leans on basic color theory: Shades opposite of each other on the color wheel - such as blue and orange - tend to cancel one another out. “So it’s about color-correcting, too, not just coverage.”įirst, for brown skin, Barose recommends an orange-tone concealer to do the correcting on bluish circles. “On dark skin, under-eye darkness reads blueish,” says Nick Barose, a makeup artist whose clients include Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Lupita Nyong’o.
