How to properly apply concealer to your face: step-by-step description

In order for the concealer to “fit” correctly on the face, it must be applied in several steps.

Step 1

First, you need to decide on your skin type and tone in order to choose the right concealer color. Be sure to take into account the problematic nature of the skin and the purpose for which it will be applied. In order to hide pimples and redness, the concealer should contain yellowish pigments, because they hide redness best. If you need to hide dark circles under your eyes, you should choose a concealer that is 1 or 2 shades darker than your skin. Pimples are best hidden with a concealer pencil.

It should be remembered that when choosing a concealer, you need to try it not on your hand, but on your face, so that the color suits and does not disappoint the owner in the future.

Step 2

You need to prepare your face: wash off makeup, wipe with toner, apply moisturizer. After all, concealer is not a corrector for unsuccessful makeup, it is a base for new makeup!

Step 3

Next you need to hide the circles under your eyes. To do this, the corrector is applied from the inner corner of the eye, moving towards the contour of the eyelashes. Concealer is also applied to the area between the nose and the corners of the eyes. You can use a brush or gently blend with your fingers. Do not rub the concealer too hard into the skin, as the area under the eyes is very sensitive.

Step 4

After this, you need to apply concealer to pimples, blemishes, freckles and scars. You need to apply it pointwise and in thin layers. Make sure that the skin tone is the same and the edges are shaded.

Step 5

To consolidate the result, you need to apply a makeup base (transparent powder is best). The powder should be applied to all areas of the skin where the concealer was applied. We must not forget about the eyes and eyelids.

Which brush to apply concealer with?

In order to disguise problem areas of the skin, the brush should not be hard, so as not to damage delicate areas. A brush with a tapered tip is an ideal solution for thin skin under the eyes.
