People usually try foundation on their wrist because the wrist is very close to the face's color. I've never tried it, but maybe it will help you next time.

creamy beige sounds too light

concealer is just for under the eyes or for a blemish. i think you are talking about foundation.
(liquid makeup) try to find one that is closest to your natural skin tone. hope this helps.

For you, you should try something like buff beige or soft honey. But the colour also depends on the brand of makeup. Try testing the color on the inside of your wrist, since the colour of the inside of your wrist is almost exactly the color of your face.

However, From what I can tell from your photo, you shouldn't be putting a liquid concealer on your skin. You have very good skin without blemishes and shouldn't worry about those things, because they can irritate your skin. But you should consider a mineral makeup instead. I wouldn't reccomend bare essentuals mineral makeup, because it is very expensive for a small amount and contains a shining ingredient, which can irritate skin and adds in my opinion, too much shine. However, you should try using the loose powder concealer from Physician's Formula. It's easy to apply, you get much more, it doesn't irritate skin or cause acne, and it is about $10. If you don't use that, than still consider one of the mineral makeups that they offer-they also have liquid concealers.

If you don't wish to try that, you could also try Smart Makeup by almay, which starts out white, then changes to match your skin tone.

Good luck!!
