To apply concealer effectively, follow these key steps:
- Start with a clean, moisturized face, applying foundation first to even out skin tone.
- Use a concealer that matches your skin tone (or use color correctors for specific concerns like redness).
- Apply concealer sparingly only to the areas that need coverage, such as under the eyes, blemishes, or discoloration.
- Use gentle tapping or dabbing motions with a brush, sponge, or fingertip to blend the concealer seamlessly into the skin.
- Set the concealer with a light layer of translucent powder to increase longevity and prevent creasing.
For under eyes, hydrate the area first and choose a concealer slightly lighter than your foundation for brightening. Avoid over-applying; focus on dark areas like the inner corners and the first third of the under-eye area. For spots and blemishes, use a small brush and gently pat the concealer only on the spot without surrounding the area unnecessarily. This method ensures natural- looking coverage that hides imperfections while maintaining a fresh appearance.
