Basically, you can hide anything with an opposite colour. So, if your melasma is brown, then try a blue concealer on it, and then layer another concealer on top of the blue with the closest colour to your actual skin colour. Then, blend everything with the heat of your point finger by slowly, but with a firm pressure, going through the motion of fingerprinting. If you're unsure of this movement, just look at any Hollywood booking scene, and notice how they take the finger and firmly press from side to side on the paper. That's what you should do on your concealer. If you're applying a foundation that is for oily skin (water-based), then it's best to apply your foundation first because anytime you apply water on oil (concealer is always made with oil), it'll just slide down off the oil. If you're applying a foundation for normal to dry skin (oil-based), it's great because you really don't need to care in what order you apply your foundation and concealer.
