Blemishes and scars : match the colour of your skin tone exactly
Raised Spots : try using a slightly darker colour than the skin tone to make the spot recede, anything lighter will highlight the spot
Under eye shadows: match the skin tone or go half a shade lighter
Set the concealer with a yellow based pressed powder as pink tones emphasise redness. This will also guarantee a longer lasting coverage.

- Always apply your foundation first, then your concealer, otherwise you will move it away when applying your foundation.
- Concealer is used to lighten around the eyes, whereas on the rest of the face it's used to hide blemishes and imperfections. If you use the same product for both, then blemishes can end up looking lighter rather than concealed.
