A concealer is a great make-up agent and a must have in your make-up bag. A concealer hides all the imperfections on your face and gives you a flawless picture-perfect complexion. The right shade of concealer blends seamlessly into your skin and camouflages all blemishes,
under-eye circles and discoloration on your face.
Here are some great tips to choose the right concealer shade for your skin and apply it skillfully to get the desired look.
How to Cover Different Problem Areas
Women typically use concealers to cover up and tone down three things of the face - under-eye circles, blemishes and discoloration around the nose, mouth and cheeks. However, what they do not realize is that all these areas require different concealers.
For under eye circles
The skin around your eyes is extremely thin and fragile. Therefore you need to apply creamy concealers containing emollient ingredients that melt into your skin.
Blemishes and discoloration
Dry and more solid concealers are ideal to hide blemishes and discoloration because it ensures even coverage and lasts longer, even on the oily T-zone. Also, because they come in a convenient stick formula, it is great for touch-ups on the go.
How to Choose the Right Shade of Concealer
For under eye circles
First use a peach shade to neutralize the blue and purple undertones that make your face look tired and then layer it up with a yellow based concealer, a couple of tones lighter than your natural skin tone. This will brighten up your under eye area making your eyes look brighter.
For blemishes and discoloration
Use a concealer that exactly matches your skin tone, if the color is too light or too dark, you will end up accentuating the area that you are attempting to conceal.
How to Apply Concealer
Step 1: Prep your Face
Wash your face with a cleanser so that it is fresh and clean. Then apply a moisturizer to hydrate the skin and wait for about 5 minutes to allow the moisturizer to absorb. After this, apply a layer of foundation or primer over your entire face. This will help even out your skin tone and create a base for the rest of the make-up.
Step 2: Apply the Concealer
Take a small concealer brush and dab on concealer on the specific spots that you want to cover. Because of the small size of the brush, you have complete control over where you place the product. Remember, apply concealer only to those areas that really need it. After this, blend in the concealer to your skin with a gentle sponge.
Step 3: Set It Up Finally
Finally, set the concealer with a translucent powder. Just dust some colorless powder lightly across your face. This will prevent the concealer from caking, creasing or wearing off.
