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

In order for the concealer to "lay" 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 find the right concealer color. Be sure to take into account the problematic 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 of all. If you need to hide under-eye circles, you should choose a concealer that will be 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 the hand, but on the face, so that the color fits and does not disappoint the owner in the future.
