3 Secrets for Using Concealer

Concealer is commonly used in order to cover the dark under eye circles spots of redness, pigmentation spots and many other areas that a foundation isn’t capable of hiding. There are different types of concealer, which include hard or creamy consistency, with regular or brush applicator, and in a stick, jar, or tube. Make you choice and continuously experiment until you know what you desire.

Once you already have the perfect concealer for you, here are the 3 beauty secrets that you need to know for using concealer.

#1 Covering Under-Eye Circles
Whether you use a stick or liquid form concealer, you need to take into account your skin shade as well as the tone of your under-eye circles.

Color concealers can be a good way to offset and better camouflage the color of your under-eye circles. When selecting a color concealer’s tone, remember that it should be the direct opposite of your under-eye circles’ tone. For example, if your under-eye skin tone looks purple, you should find a beauty concealer with yellow tones; for brown circles, a purple or blue concealer is the best bet; for blue circles, use orange-toned concealers, and for red under-eye skin tone, use olive- or green-toned concealer. You can also ask the salesperson for a help if you’re not sure what to buy. If you don’t want to use a color concealer, you can just use a flesh-toned concealer that has a lighter shade than your skin. This way, the area around your eyes will be brightened and give you a fresh appearance.

When applying concealer, gently dab a small amount on your skin, starting from inside going out, using your ring finger. Afterwards, blend it thoroughly to make it look invisible and smooth.

#2 Covering Dark Spots and Moles
When using concealer to cover dark spots or moles, use only a small amount and individually focus on each problem area. Use a stick concealer that has a shade that will match your skin tone. The principle “less is more”, is applicable here—you apply less to get much more results. If you will apply too much concealer on a single area, it can look very obvious and cakey. Using your finger, dab a small amount in mole’s center—enough to conceal the spot—then let it dry. Finish up by applying face powder.

#3 Cover Red Spots and Blemishes
When covering red spots and blemishes, use a concealer shade that’s an exact match for your skin tone. To cover the pimples, using a stick concealer is enough. The key is using small amounts to directly and carefully apply to the blemish. Blend the edges with a small flat brush, then let it dry for a few minutes. If necessary, apply another layer to cover it completely, then finish with a beauty face power. For skin redness, you can use a stick or creamy concealer and spread it on the area in a thin layer, then let it dry for a few minutes. If the redness is still visible, apply another coating and finish it with a face powder.
