Concealer & Corrector
- Created on Tuesday, 22 November 2011 20:41
The application of concealer is the most important step in any makeup routine. Concealer is the product that can brighten and lift the face. Concealer should be smooth to the touch. A formula that is too dry is bad for the delicate skin around the eyes. You should choose a different texture of concealer depending of your skin condition. Concealer should be the same shade as your foundation or a shade lighter. For extremely dark circle choose a heavy formula concealer in shade that is lighter than your skin. The big mistake is using too light or too white shade. If you are using a concealer in the same colour like foundation you can use it before or after foundation.
Before applying concealer you should prepare the area under eyes by applying eye cream. You should remember about applying eye cream if your skin is very dry. If you have oil skin be careful with eye cream because your concealer can move around the eye area.
Apply (best option is using a concealer brush or your fingers) beginning at the inner corners of the eyes, close to the lashes, where there is darkness. Gently blend by pressing your fingers. Make sure there is enough to block the darkness. After application concealer and foundation remember to use a powder, your concealer will be long-lasting and you will avoid a mess under your eyes when you apply mascara. Instead of concealer you can also use a stick foundation one or two shades lighter.
Corrector is a great choice for covering very dark circle, red spots, hyperpigmentation.
