If you are applying your concealer (illuminator) before applying the foundation, stop there immediately! You may be wasting both your product and your money. Here is the answer to how to apply concealer with correct answers.

WHAT IS THE CONCEALER?

Many of us confuse the concealer’s role with the concealer. However, the concealer is exactly ‘illuminating’ and unlike concealer, you can apply it to any point you want to emphasize on the face. Concealer does not have an intense covering feature, but you can get over your light dark circles and redness.

HOW IS IT APPLIED?

A normal concealer is applied to the skin before foundation. However, you should apply the concealer after your make-up base and foundation. If you apply concealer first, while applying the foundation on it, you distribute the areas where you apply concealer. If you apply the Concealer after the foundation, your skin will have a more natural and radiant appearance. Apply your concealer with a brush, not with your fingers, in order not to leave any traces and apply it in the most correct way. Do not forget to go over it with powder to fix it.

HOW TO CHOOSE CONCEALER?

Choose your concealer according to your skin type and needs. Choose a concealer that is 1 or 2 shades lighter than your natural skin color for your under-eye area and the same color as your foundation for other areas. If you have dry skin, do not choose a matte finish liquid concealer because the dry areas on your skin will appear more. If you have oily skin, avoid using cream and stick concealer. These products will clarify your pores and make your face look oily and brighter.

First of all we should remind how to apply eye area creams.

Cream content Eye area creams used during the day contain SPF and correct the appearance of the skin throughout the day. If your product does not contain sunscreen, always use an additional sunscreen. Hyaluronic acid is a good moisturizer. It has intense water retaining properties. Moisturizing the skin well reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Seramides can be added to the contents of creams due to their moisturizing effects. AHA can be added to eye area creams used at night. It has restorative, regenerative effects.

When using eye creams, your skin type is very important! If you have a dry and dull skin type and you experience these problems more in winter, eye contour creams will be a better choice for you. On the other hand, eye cream is suitable for mixed, oily or dry skin. Although it is generally preferred in the summer months, the mild formula serums are a more suitable option for oily skin with their oil-free feature. If you have a loss of moisture, you can go for creams or serums.
