Concealer has always been one of the most essential products, and for good reason. It brightens the look, makes the face look more rested, and hides imperfections like acne, blemishes, or dark circles. But not every concealer works the same, so for a perfect result we need to know how to choose and how to use it properly.
1. Find the right shade
Choosing the shade of concealer is the most important step:
Keep it close to your skin tone so you don't go two shades lighter like we used to.
Adapting to the nuance is key:
Dark skin tones usually match better with yellow or orange shades.
Light tones go well with pink or neutral shades.
The concealer should not stand out from the rest of the skin, only then have you found the perfect shade.
2. Choose the right texture
Creamy or liquid textures: easier to apply, ideal for daily use and can be applied in several layers for more coverage.
Compact or stick formulas: provide stronger coverage, but require more time and care to spread well.
Choose the texture that best suits your skin type and needs.
3. Application tool matters
Makeup brush: Provides higher coverage, perfect for specific blemishes or blemishes.
Wet sponge (beauty blender): Gives a natural and luminous effect, gently blending the product into the skin.
Usually, for a more natural look, a sponge is the preferred choice.
4. Application techniques
Inverted triangle: Apply concealer from the corner of the eye to the cheekbone to cover dark circles and brighten the center of the face.
Modern method: Apply only to the inner and outer corner of the eye for a fresher and more natural "lifting" effect.
Experimentation is the key, find the method that works best for you.
