Geeks,

I'm after advice on best foundation/concealer for olive skin tones and very dark circles. This is for me (nothing to do with clients!). I've tried nearly everything going & never found anything I'm overly impressed with from Mac to YSL. Dark circles are never truly covered and my foundation is either too light or too orange. It's driving me insane.... Need to look flawless (well as close to it as I can get!!!! Lol)

Geeks pls help x

Have you tried Jane Iredale?

They have a wide variety of global shades. I have an olive tone & this is what I use.
 
Another vote for JI!
 
No never heard of the brand. Where can I buy it from? X

If you need to cover dark circles, you need a corrector in a peach tone to counteract the dark blue, them poss a concealer over the top if you need it. Bobbi Brown corrector s are great and they specialise in catering for the widest range if skin tones x
 
You can buy Jane Iredale from salons and therapists. Whereabouts are you?
 
The only thing I worry about is creamy constancy concealers as they sit in my lines!

Hi,
I find if I do foundation and concealer but don't powder til end. Then once base has settled on skin just pat over to finish and blot with 1 layer of tissue. This will absorb any excess oil, and then powder- perfect.

Ooh thanks for the tip. Shall give it a go! X
