Everything you need to know about concealers

Concealer is one of the best makeup tools for covering up a blemish, spot, or discoloration on your face. But how do you choose a good concealer? What type should you use? And how do you apply it correctly? We've got answers to all these questions and more!

Concealers are used to cover up imperfections on your face

Concealers come in many different forms, but they all have one thing in common: they hide imperfections like blemishes and dark circles under makeup (or sometimes even out of it). To use them effectively, you must know what type of product will work best for your needs. Basically, there are two main types: liquid and cream-based concealers.

Experiment with different shades

It's important to find out what works best for your complexion by experimenting with different shades of concealer and applying them in different places on the face.

If you have a darker skin tone, you may need to use a concealer that is a shade or lighter than your foundation. If you have a fair skin tone, the opposite should be true!

How to apply

You should apply a concealer before you get started with the eye cream. Before applying concealer, let your eye cream soak in for about 15 minutes and dab on some primer. The timing is crucial because if you don't do this, the eye cream will sit on your concealer and make it look cakey. Applying the primer first will help keep everything in place for longer and ensure that nothing goes missing under your eyes.

• Don't use your finger to apply concealer because it picks up and spreads bacteria.
• Use a clean applicator each time you apply concealer.
• In case you use your finger to apply concealer, wipe it off every time after applying it so that it doesn't cause an infection.

A doe-foot applicator is best to use

A doe-foot applicator is the best tool for applying concealer. It's a sponge with a pointed end, which allows you to get into hard-to-reach areas and cover blemishes like acne or redness on your face. And if you're using foundation (or makeup at all), the same applicator can be used for both products!

Hydrating concealer for dry skin

If you have dry skin, it's essential to look for a hydrating concealer. Dry skin can quickly become even drier if it isn't well hydrated and moisturized.

The mileage of your concealer depends on your skin type and what specific issue you're trying to cover up with makeup. For example: if you're acne-prone but want an extra dose of moisture in your routine (and don't mind waiting until later), it would be good to use a cream-based formula.

Matte finish for oily skin

If you have oily skin, it's important to use an oil-free concealer with a matte finish. If you want to avoid having your makeup slide off as soon as it hits the surface of your face, choose one that's not too dark or light.

Don't apply too much or too little

It's important to start with a small amount of concealer and add more if needed. If you use too much, it will look cakey and unnatural. The same goes for using too little, if you do, your concealer won't cover the spot correctly and will look like an uneven mask on your face.
