How to apply concealer


Concealer helps cover any imperfections you may have on your face. By using a concealer as well as foundation you will be able to achieve a flawless look. It can be used to cover broken capillaries, dark circles, pimples/blemishes, and to even out skin tone. 
For the best coverage use a stick or cream concealer, since they are thick in texture it will last longer and provide more coverage. Liquid concealers can be oily and may glide off. 


Dark circles have a blue undertone, therefore you can use a concealer with a yellow undertone to counteract the blueness. For pimples and blemishes also use a concealer with a yellow undertone, if you use a pinkish undertone it may bring accentuate the redness. 

You may use a primer to help prevent the concealer from caking up under the eyes. Always use a matte concealer not anything with shimmer this will just highlight the problem. 

Applying Concealer 

Apply your concealer before your foundation. To cover the under eye, pat concealer under the eyes using the index finger. Then gently blend outwards. To hide bags, put concealer under the bag, not on the bag, if you do, you will end up highlighting the bag rather than hiding it. To hide broken capillaries or uneven skin tone, you can apply the concealer with a concealer brush or your finger. Then blend outwards. 

Until next time,
