Color correct first
Before applying your concealer or foundation, it's important to use a color corrector. According to makeup.com, the best colors for disguising dark spots are orange, red, and peach.
You should pick your color based on your natural skin tone. The website explains, "Lighter skin tones can use peach for covering hyperpigmentation, while deep skin tones may benefit from orange and red shades."
Pick a full-coverage concealer
Next, use your favorite full-coverage concealer. Make sure that the formula does not dry out your skin, but keeps it looking supple and moisturized. Although dark spots do not affect the texture of your skin, a bad concealer could, drawing unnecessary attention to the hyperpigmentation you are trying to cover.

Top with a setting spray
A setting spray (or powder, depending on your preference) is the final and arguably most important step in keeping these dark spots covered all day long. Make sure to choose a setting spray that will work with your skin type (dry, oily, etc.); this will ensure that your skin looks flawless throughout the day.
