To avoid this, you have to turn to orange-tinted highlighter or concealer to cover the dark patches. Dab the orange-tinted concealer over the pigmented area before layering it with a foundation that suits your skin tone. Once that’s done, you can set the makeup with the help of a mineral-based powder.

Clean your face thoroughly and moisturize it to keep it hydrated. Choose a concealer or foundation that’s lighter than your skin tone and spread it evenly across your face and neck. Use a makeup setting spray to finish the look.
- License to conceal
Though dabbing concealer on the highly pigmented spots would help you camouflage most of the darkness, the best way to refine your features would be to apply concealer below the lashliner in a triangular shape. This would conceal the dark circles, redness, and any spots below the lashline and around the cheeks. Slightly smudge and spread this concealer along the face to lighten up the spot.

Take a small drop of the primer and gently rub it in your face, evenly.
