Concealer is a multifunctional tool in daily makeup that helps to hide various imperfections on the skin, such as dark circles under the eyes, redness or age spots. It is available in the form of a paste or a liquid that can be applied with a special brush, writes OBOZ.UA.
While each product has its benefits, finding the perfect concealer can be difficult. Experts tell you how to choose the right one.
What is a concealer?
Concealer comes from the English word "conceal", which means "to hide". This product helps to give the skin a natural glow, hiding various imperfections: dark circles, redness, wrinkles. However, it should not be applied to pimples due to their inflamed nature.
The first concealers were released in 1954 by Max Factor under the name Erace Cover Stick. They promised women a perfect complexion and looked like pink lipstick.
How to choose a concealer
First of all, decide which texture you prefer.
Concealer stick
With a thick creamy texture, this type of concealer is ideal for masking redness and age spots. It is used for spot correction.
Liquid concealer
This type of concealer is easy to apply and spread, especially suitable for dry skin. However, care must be taken as over-application can create a mask effect.
Palette of correctors
This professional palette includes several products such as highlighter, bronzer, blush and concealer. It helps to create an ideal complexion with the help of a comprehensive approach.
How to apply concealer
Choose a concealer 2-3 tones lighter than your natural skin tone. For dark circles under the eyes, use a concealer-corrector with an orange or slightly bluish shade. Green corrector is suitable for fighting redness or veins.
Before applying concealer, cleanse the skin and apply a day cream.
Apply the concealer using an applicator or a brush, spread it under the cheekbones in the shape of an inverted triangle and a little on the inner corners of the eyes.
You don't need to rub the concealer hard - light taps are enough. Fix the final result with powder.
