It is actually so hard!! Recently I went into Boots and there was just hundreds of different kinds and shades!!
Foundation:
For me as an Asian! Never go for a brand that only has Light,Medium or Dark! The medium is far to dark and makes your skin look horrible!! Go for collections that have a range of different shades!
The best shades are ivory or beige! But be careful, different brands may have slight differences! Best advice is to try the testers on you jawline and see if it blends well! The best are the ones that you only see a slight change in your colour tone(or no change).
Another tip is that Asian skins have slight yellow undertone so choose something with a slight yellow in it (not too yellow).
I would suggest liquid foundation for beginners as they are easier and tinted/sheer foundation for those who have clear healthy skin!
Concealer:
There are two types, the stick or liquid type! I have tried both and they both work pretty well if you choose a good brand! Don't go for ones that are less than £2!(my suggestion).
Now the shade, for under eyes and blemishes; go for something with a pink undertone to blend better!! It doesn't have to be the same shade as the foundation because you put on the concealer on before so going for something lighter will be fine!
For me:
I currently use Bourjous-Paris- Healthy Mix Foundation(Beige)
And
Rimmel London- Hide the Blemish Conclear(Sand)
I say currently because I like to experiment in Comestic store and don't be afraid to ask(that's what they are there for xDx)
