Types of concealers
There are many types of concealers, and some of them have different colors. Be careful to distinguish them when using them.
1. Concealer stick. The color of this type of concealer is slightly darker than the color of the base makeup, and it is also a little thicker than the base makeup, which can effectively cover the blemishes on the face.
2. Multi-color concealer, concealer palette. If there are many blemishes on the face, and the types of blemishes are also different, you need to use a concealer palette. There are many colors of concealers in the concealer palette, and different methods can be used for different blemishes. For example, if the sides of the nose are severely red, you can mix the green concealer and the yellow concealer and apply them to the reddish position.
Specific use of concealer
Many girls think that the concealer is too thick and the makeup is too strong. If you want to eliminate this shortcoming, you need to work hard when choosing concealer, and focus on choosing concealer with better fluidity.
1. Master the order of using concealer
The correct order of using concealer is after foundation and before powder or loose powder. After applying foundation, look in the mirror to see if there are any flaws on your face that are not covered, then gently apply concealer, and finally use powder or loose powder to set the makeup, so that the concealer and foundation can be completely integrated together, otherwise it is easy to leave marks.
2. Learn to use your fingers to apply makeup
The best tool for concealer is your fingers. Because the force is more even when used, and there is temperature, which will make the concealer closer to the skin. If you really don’t like to use your hands, you can choose a thin and pointed makeup brush, preferably artificial fiber instead of natural brown hair.
3. Learn to choose the color of concealer
Different colors of concealer target different parts and effects.
It is best to choose a concealer with an orange hue to deal with dark circles. Apply the concealer to the dark circles and gently spread the concealer around with your ring finger. Then use a sponge to evenly apply the daily foundation to the entire face. When it comes to the eye circles, do not push it, but gently press it to spread it evenly. When covering dark circles, do not forget the inner and outer corners of the eyes, because these two parts are the most serious places for dark circles, but they are also the most easily overlooked places. Since the skin around the eyes is very delicate, it is best not to use a hard pen-shaped concealer product, otherwise it is easy to cause fine lines around the eyes.
For acne and red skin, green-toned concealer has been proven to be the most effective. When covering acne, you should pay more attention to the technique. Many people feel that they have applied concealer, but the acne is still very obvious. When covering the concealer, pay attention to the cream on the acne, and then use the highest point of the acne as the center of the circle to blend around. After the blending is completed, the cream at the highest point of the acne is more than the cream around it. If there are many red areas on the face, you can dot a few green concealers on the red areas, and then use a sponge egg to blend them. If you think the green concealer is too heavy, you can mix it with the base makeup slightly.
When you need to lighten spots, it is advisable to choose a concealer with a color close to your skin color, which can not only cover the spots, but also blend naturally with your skin color; and a blue-toned concealer is the best magic weapon for yellow-faced women.
4. Use concealer to cover wrinkles
The various wrinkles and fine lines on the face are the traces of time that we cannot resist. If even the foundation can’t cover them, then the only thing we can rely on is concealer. Fortunately, concealer does have this ability. After using primer to fully prime, you can use concealer to fade wrinkles one by one before applying foundation. Although this goes against the normal order of concealer use, it is indeed effective in covering wrinkles, but the premise is that the skin has enough moisture.
5. Concealer method to cover lip color and lip area
To cover lips, first apply a small amount of concealer, apply it thinly on the lips and the areas around the lips that need to be concealed, and lightly cover the original lip color. Applying too much will look unnatural.
6. Maximize the effect of concealer
In the market, if you want to maximize the effect of concealer, there is another unique method, that is, mix concealer with other products. For example, if we want to cover up dark circles, we can mix a small amount of concealer with eye cream, and then apply it around the eyes, corners of the mouth, etc., which can well dilute the shadows on the face and make the makeup look more natural and healthy.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that when buying concealer, you must choose a light-textured concealer, so that it can better blend with the foundation and the skin, and keep the makeup lasting and fresh.
Concealer precautions:
1. Apply concealer products after using liquid foundation. This order cannot be reversed.
2. Don’t use too white concealer. That will only make your flaws more conspicuous.
3. Don’t apply too thick concealer. In addition to being unnatural, it will also make the skin look dry.
4. If there is no concealer product around, you can use a foundation that is lighter than the foundation instead. In fact, this is also the rule when choosing concealer products. Concealer products that are lighter than foundation are the best for you.
5. To apply transparent makeup, mix concealer with foundation on your hands before using. Then apply loose powder. This way, the makeup will be natural and transparent. If you use a powder puff to apply loose powder, it will look like a thicker makeup.
Of course! Concealer only temporarily covers the blemishes on your face. If you want a clean makeup, you still need to pay attention to daily maintenance, pay attention to cleaning, hydration, and moisturizing, and eat more fruits and vegetables!
