If you have ruddiness in your skin, an occasional blemish or dark circles under your eyes, you are not alone! Concealer is a quick and inexpensive product that can cover a myriad of sins. Here are some tips about how to use concealer for a flawless look.
Concealer is applied before your foundation and after you have washed, toned and moisturized your face. Make sure your moisturizer is completely absorbed before you apply your concealer; otherwise, it will not adhere properly to your skin.
You can find concealers in many different forms, including tubes, pencils and pots. If you want an accurate application to a small area, like for covering a blemish, the pencil is a great choice. Concealer pencils are a good choice if you have oily skin, too. The liquid concealer that comes in a tube with a sponge-tipped applicator is great for drier skin, and is very useful for covering up sun spots. The little tubes of concealer that look like lipstick are very easy to use, and they can be applied without a brush and blended in with your fingers. There are compacts that contain three to four different shades of concealer for mixing and matching to any skin tone. These are great for dry skin, and they are best applied with a sponge or makeup brush.
No matter which type of concealer you use, it is important to match both your skin type and skin color to your concealer. You want the formula to match your skin tone, but at the same time you want it to provide enough coverage to be effective at hiding your blemish. Your local drugstore and department stores are stocked with concealers in various colors, containers and formulas for all skin types. If you have not been using a concealer in your makeup routine, buy it and try it. You'll be amazed at the difference it can make!
