Applying concealer is a key step in any makeup routine, helping to cover imperfections, brighten the under eye area, and create a smooth, natural finish. From selecting the right concealer formula to blending for flawless coverage, here’s how to make the most of this essential makeup product.
Step 1: Select the right concealer
Choosing the best concealer depends on your skin type and needs. A hydrating concealer with hyaluronic acid is ideal for dry skin, while a non-comedogenic formula works well for oily skin and won't clog pores. If you want a full coverage concealer for dark spots or redness, opt for a cream concealer with a creamy texture. For a lightweight option, try a liquid concealer for a natural look.
Step 2: Prepare your skin
Before applying concealer, moisturize your skin with a product that moisturizes and use a primer to create a smooth base. For sensitive skin, ensure your products are gentle. This step ensures your concealer blends seamlessly without settling into fine lines.
Step 3: Apply and blend
Using a tiny bit of concealer, apply directly to blemishes, dark circles, or undereye circles. To cover dark spots, choose a shade lighter than your skin tone. For contouring or highlighting, use a concealer slightly brighter than your foundation. Blend using a sponge, brush, or your fingertips for a natural finish.
Step 4: Set for longevity
After blending, set your concealer with a light layer of powder to prevent creasing and ensure a full coverage finish. For the under eye area, use a translucent powder to brighten and smooth the appearance of fine lines.
