Concealers

Concealers are primarily used to hide flaws on the skin without using an all-over foundation. If the right concealer is used, the result can be a beautiful, flawless, and natural look.

Choosing a Concealer

You will want to pick a concealer that is about one shade lighter than your natural skin colour. To make sure that the colour you are buying is correct, try to test them out right at the store. The best scenario is to try the concealer directly on your face when shopping without any makeup. If you would rather not leave the house barefaced, you may just test the concealer on the inside of your arm. Additionally, you should pick a concealer with yellow undertones. You’ll look the most natural if you do it.

Applying Concealer

Concealer is so versatile that you can apply concealer anywhere you need it. It can help cover dark circles, age spots, blemishes, large pores, and off-colour areas. It is best to pick a concealer that has a wand; this will ensure accuracy when applying the concealer. Take the wand and sufficiently cover all areas of concern. Next, blend well with your fingers or a sponge. Make sure to cover the concealer with powder or it will rub off by mid-day.
