Concealer Shade Finder

Step 1

Already have a PMU foundation shade?
Simply go to your foundation product page to see suggested concealers with links under the "Combine with" subheading. If you need to refine your selection further, proceed from Step 3 below.

Don't have a PMU foundation shade?
Find your skin colour code here. This comprises of 2-3 digits to indicate lightness/darkness, e.g. 10 or 110, followed by a letter to indicate the skin group, e.g. Red (R), Yellow (Y) or Neutral (N).

Step 2

Find a row in the below table that matches your skin colour code letter and digits to see the name of one or more suggested concealers.

Step 3

This step is only applicable if you have a choice between 2 or more concealers.
Consider the texture and benefits. In some cases, a similar shade may be available in a creamy formula or moulded into a stick. For anti-ageing benefits choose the Dual Action Concealer. For best coverage, choose the Concealer Stick or Crème Stick.

TIPS

  • If concealer is used to disguise blemishes/redness on pale to tanned Caucasian skins, you generally select a shade lighter than the skin shade.
  • Peach-coloured concealers works best over dark rings on light to medium-light skin tones, e.g. Caucasian with blue/purple dark rings.
  • Dark skins, e.g. Africans, generally dull with a concealer that is lighter, so choose a concealer almost idenitical to your skin colour.
  • Creme-textured foundations with good coverage can be used as concealer.
