How to Apply Concealer
Concealers are an important part of your make up base. They camouflage
and hide away facial imperfections making your skin appear soother
and flawless. A concealer neutralizes blemishes, dark spot, under
eye circles and other marks on the face and blends them with the
skin tone to provide a smooth make up base.
Using Concealer
Concealers are available in a variety of textures and shades, each
designed for a particular skin type. Choosing the right colour is
important and not a matter of choice. You should opt for the colour
one or two shades lighter than your skin tone. Most preferred are
yellow based concealers as they effectively blend dark undertones
while concealing.
To conceal up dark circles, creamier concealers are suggested as
this area is very delicate. Liquid concealers perform best for dry
skin and under eye make up. Solid concealers are preferred to cover
up pimples, scars, acne and blemishes. They are available in form
of a stick and enables direct on spot application. In case of sensitive
skin makeup concealers with mineral colours should be used.
Applying Concealers
1. Before starting with the concealer, you must apply an eye cream
to the under eye area and a mositurizer to the rest of the face
and allow them to be absorbed by the skin. This prepares the face
for the application of concealer and enables the concealer to adhere
evenly on the skin.
2. For the under eye part, start applying the concealer from the
inner corner of the under eye area along the curve heading outwards.
3. As for the cheeky region, use a make up brush to apply the concealer.
Move the brush in small outwards circular motion. Special care is
needed while applying concealer around the lips as it may interfere
with colour of the lips.
4. Concealing may be followed by foundation and other usual make
up trick.
TIP: 1. The colour and form of the concealer should
be wisely choosen according to the requirement of the face.
2. Dark circles can be effectively covered by adding yellow eye
shadow to the concealer.
3. Ruddy tones and broken capillaries can be masked by adding blue
or green eye shadow to the concealer.
