Every lady dreams of having a perfectly smooth face tone. But taking into account all the negative factors affecting the skin (stress, poor nutrition, bad environment) - sometimes this is very difficult to achieve.
So let's find out what is concealer?
Concealer (corrector) is a means of decorative cosmetics that will help to get rid of bruises under the eyes, acne, rashes, redness and other imperfections on the face in just a few minutes.
Types of concealer
Depending on the purpose, the following types of concealers are divided:
– Concealer-pencil (a plus in that it has an antibacterial effect);
– Concealer-stick (you can mask large areas on the face, but it is not suitable for spot application);
– Liquid concealer (a very good option for masking bruises under the eyes, has moisturizing properties);
– Concealer-cream (more dense coverage, mostly sold in the form of a palette, large color range).
It is very important to choose a concealer by color, since different skin imperfections need to be masked with different colors. For example, it is impossible to hide bruises under the eyes with just a tonal cream of one shade. If in this case you use only a tonal cream (without concealer), then you need to use two shades. Apply a lighter tone under the eyes, which will differ from the main color of the face. And then, only a professional can do it.
Features of using different types of concealers
Many girls do not get the desired effect, because they do not know how to choose the right type of concealer and its color.
The main ego shades can be distinguished by color scheme:
1. Yellow, orange (apricot). It neutralizes the disadvantages of purple or blue color well, copes with bruises under the eyes. But if the color is very close to carrot, it is possible to make a mistake;
2. Violet. Excellently removes yellowness of the face, as well as pigment spots;
3. Green. Hides irritations, acne, allergic reactions;
4. Pink. Masks green spots, bruises or circles under the eyes.
The most frequent mistakes when using concealer
It is also necessary to take into account a number of mistakes that girls make when using concealer.
• Concealers of natural shades should be applied on top of foundation. Color correctors are an exception. In this case, do the opposite.
• Carefully choose the color scheme of the product that is needed to eliminate a specific problem. For example, bruises under the eyes can have a very different undertone (greenish, bluish, reddish, and others). Accordingly, one must not make a mistake here, otherwise the whole makeup will be runny nose;
• Does not apply concealer too thickly. This is an additional layer of make-up that weighs the skin down. In addition, it is very noticeable. Blend the product with a brush, not with your fingers for a more ideal result. If it turned out that there is no brush at hand, first warm up your hands (under the influence of temperature, the concealer will lay down more evenly);
• Do not use concealer instead of foundation. The concealer is thicker in consistency and can clog pores or dry out the skin. Perhaps it is necessary to apply corrective means with different effects on different parts of the face. Because of this, covering the entire face with concealer of one type and color is a very bad idea;
• Does not apply concealer only to the problem area. So that it does not end up looking like a spot on the face, it is necessary to blend the borders well and apply a little of the product outside the problem area, but in moderation.
When choosing such products, it is better to initially contact a professional who will assess the condition of the skin, its features and needs. Also, it would be wise to take a couple of lessons from a makeup artist on how to use and properly apply concealer together with foundation.
