How to apply concealer?

Applying concealer is a skill that can make a significant difference in achieving a bright, even base. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to apply concealer effectively:

1. Start with a Clean Face: Begin with a freshly cleansed and moisturized face.
2. Apply Your Base Makeup: If you usually wear foundation, apply it first. This allows you to see which areas still need additional coverage from the concealer.
3. Choose the Right Concealer: Pick a concealer that matches your skin tone for blemishes. Undereye concealers can be slightly lighter for a brightening effect. You can also choose a concealer with colour-correcting properties if you have specific concerns like green for redness or peach for dark circles. These are called colour correctors.
4. Dot or Swipe: Use the applicator wand or your fingertip to place small dots or swipes of concealer directly onto the areas you want to cover.
5. Blend Gently: Use a clean fingertip, a makeup sponge, or a concealer brush to gently blend the concealer into your skin.
6. Set with Powder: This will set the look in place and prevent the concealer from budging.

Different types of concealers

Concealers come in different formats, and you can choose one basis your skin type and your unique needs:

• Liquid concealer: Great for dry skin, these are usually full coverage concealer that last for hours when set properly. These can be to cover dark circles, acne marks or hyperpigmentation.
• Cream concealer: These are the best concealers for oily skin, and tend to give a natural, skin-like appearance. These can be used to cover smaller blemishes and marks.
• Stick concealers: Perfect for quick touch-ups, stick concealers are essentially creamy formulations that offer medium to full coverage.
• Concealer palette: This is usually a palette consisting of different concealer shade and a few correctors used for common concerns like dullness or redness. This can be ideal for professional use.

FAQ’s

Is concealer always necessary?

Concealer is not always necessary, but it can be incredibly useful in enhancing your makeup look. It's designed to provide extra coverage for specific areas, such as blemishes, dark circles, redness, and any other imperfections that might not be fully covered by the foundation.

What is the difference between concealer and colour corrector?

Concealer and correctors serve different purposes, though they are often used together in makeup routines:

Concealer: Concealer is used to cover blemishes, redness, dark circles, and other imperfections. It matches your skin tone and provides coverage over these areas.

Corrector: A corrector is used to neutralize specific colour concerns, like redness, sallowness, or dark under-eye circles. Correctors are usually in shades that counteract the colour you're trying to correct, such as green for redness and peach for dark circles. Correctors are often used as a base before applying concealer to achieve a more even and flawless finish.

Can I wear concealer alone?

Yes, you can wear concealer alone, especially if you're looking for a quick makeup touch-up or if you don’t want too much coverage. However, if you're aiming for a more polished look or need coverage for a larger area, like an evening out your skin tone, pairing concealer with foundation can create a more balanced and cohesive result.

Is concealer safe for the skin?

Concealer is generally safe for the skin when used correctly and with high-quality products. However, it's important to choose products that are suitable for your skin type, avoid allergens, and remove your makeup properly at the end of the day.

Can we use concealer instead of foundation?

You can use concealer instead of foundation if you're looking for lighter coverage or if you want to spot-conceal specific areas. But for better coverage, especially if you have redness or hyperpigmentation, using foundation as a base is often recommended.
