There are several theories on how to pick the perfect shade. Some people prefer concealers that are one shade lighter than their skin tone. This helps to lighten dark blemishes. However, it should be applied under the eye with caution. You don't want to end up with raccoon eyes. Others opt for concealers that match their skin tone. This alternative works best if you don't wear a foundation.
Apply concealer with a concealer brush. Concealer brushes are thinner and facilitate blending makeup onto specific areas. Use brushes with smooth, synthetic bristles and wash them regularly to avoid bacteria growth. Small eye-shadow brushes can be used as substitutes. Try putting on your foundation first before applying concealer. You may find that your foundation gives you enough coverage. If you feel that extra coverage is necessary, apply a small amount of concealer onto your brush and pat into your skin.If you do not have a brush use the weakest finger on your hand (ring finger) apply gently.
Use an eye serum when applying concealer around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is thin and sensitive. Eye serum will moisturize your skin, blend your concealer, and help reduce the appearance of fine lines when used over time. Before applying the serum, wash your face thoroughly. Place a small dollop on your fingertip and gently dab around the edge of your eye. Start at the inner corner and work your way to the outer corner. Allow at least 10 minutes for the serum to set before applying your concealer.
Avoid magnifying mirrors when applying concealer. You are likely to go overboard. If a standard mirror is visually challenging to you, adjust the lighting. Use a mirror that is surrounded by ample light or near a bright lamp.
Concealers are great highlighters. Use a lighter shade to help add radiance to your skin. Apply concealer to the bridge of your nose to give your face that extra lift. A little concealer on the chin and forehead can help brighten your appearance. Your cheeks and the outer corners of your eyes are other key areas to highlight.
