The Basics: Concealer

3 Custom Color Crème Concealer Trio



General rule for concealing is to choose a concealer one shade lighter than your natural skin colour. if it's too dark or too light, it'll look unnatural and actually highlight the area your trying to conceal.
Here is how to cover up:

Undereye Circles:
First, make sure you're facing a light source. Covering the undereye circle calls for full coverage, so use a cream concealer or even a foundation stick. Apply from the inner corner or the nose to the outer corner of your eye. Then blend, woman, blend!!

Dark Spots and Patches:
Hyperpigmented skin needs even fuller coverage than undereye circles.
Look for a highly pigmented, dense concealer and with a wedge sponge, apply over dark spots then blend into your foundation.

Pimples:
Use your finger tip or a sponge to lightly apply concealer to the pimple. You would want to dab it on, you should start small to conceal the pimple and spread to blend. You can build up as needed and blend as best possible.

Pointers:
If you wear concealer and foundation, try putting on the foundation first. You may find that it adequately covers the areas you were going to conceal. if you still look uneven, then add concealer and set with powder.
