How To Apply Concealer Properly


By: Gonnette Almurey

Facial concealer comes in two forms; a stick that looks similar to lipstick and a jar that look similar to a foundation jar. Each individual may have their own personal preference towards either the jar or the stick. After a while, one may develop a specific preference. Learn how to apply concealer using both of its forms.

How to Apply Concealer Underneath the Eyes
Some women struggle with dark circles. This can be due to genetics or a lack of sleep due to a hectic lifestyle or mood disorders. Either way, brighter eyes look healthy, appealing, and attractive to most people. For this reason, applying concealer is often a part of a daily beauty regimen.

Do not apply foundation before applying concealer as this will cause an uneven tone. Start by testing the color of the concealer. If it matches the skin, it’s a good fit. If it doesn’t, try finding a color that’s closer to your skin tone. Gently brush the concealer underneath the eyes where the dark circles appear and use your index finger or a make-up sponge to smooth the concealer onto the skin. The eyes should appear brighter and lifted. If they do not, try using a different brand as some brands do not work well for everyone. Finally, apply foundation to your entire face and part of your neck. Your face should have one even skin tone and the eyes should appear brighter.

How to Apply Concealer to Blemishes
Covering blemishes with concealer can present a bit of a challenge, especially when faced with several zits or pimples. Be sure to wash your face using acne cleansing facial soap before applying any make-up. Use oil-free toner to remove excess oil as well.

Start by using the stick of concealer or the jar and a brush to apply concealer to each individual blemish. Use a make-up sponge to smooth over the make-up and blend it into the skin. While the elevation of the skin may still be slightly apparent, the redness and irritation that sometimes occur with an acne breakout should not. Apply foundation to the entire face and part of the neck.

Concealer is an excellent tool to have when combating daily dark circles or a heavy amount of blemishes. It comes in a variety of tones and a variety of forms. It can help brighten the eyes and conceal redness and irritation that can occur to the skin as a result of acne or other skin problems.
