Dull question about Concealer

[OverRated]

If you can't find the perfect match and need one somewhere between two shades, is it best to buy the lighter one or the darker one?

I can't afford to replace my Clinique one and am struggling to find a good replacement.

I don't want panda eyes but would prefer to avoid big orange splodges too.

I would go lighter. Have a look at the Mac counter, they have all sorts, and not expensive about £11 for a big tube.

Aaah, will investigate MAC then, thanks!

Was thinking lighter but then panicked and bought nothing
