The Best Way to Apply Concealer

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.
