Makeup Artists Share the Worst Beauty Advice They've Ever Heard

'Go two shades lighter on your concealer.'
"Go two shades lighter on your concealer." Makeup artist and owner of the beauty concierge service B Beautiful B Wilson says concealer is an area where plenty of advice gets thrown around — most of which isn't useful. One of the most common misconceptions is using a concealer that's two shades lighter to hide dark circles. Though it might make sense on the surface — no pun intended — Wilson says not all undereye circles are created equal and if you use this trick, you could end up looking grey or green under your baby blues (or greens or browns). "Most undereye discoloration requires some type of orange to salmon or pink corrector shade prior to using a concealer in your shade range to brighten or highlight," she says. Your best tactic for appearing like you reaped shut-eye is to stop by a beauty counter to get advice on your specific pigmentation and needs.
