Makeup Articles - Concealer Eye Makeup Application

A good concealer is the secret of the universe,’ according to make-up guru Bobbi Brown, and it is easy to see why. Just the right colour, in just the right texture, and you would need a magnifying glass to prove that Mother Nature did not bless you with a perfect canvas. Concealers may be liquid, cream or solid (stick). Moisturize your face first for easier application.To prevent concealer from setting into fine lines, wipe away excess. Blot with a tissue for matte finish. Just the wrong shade, in just the wrong texture, and you will draw attention to those blemishes you sought to disguise.

With a multitude of products available in everytone and texture (tubes of cream, liquids with sponge-tip applicators, simple sticks and harder ‘cake’ compacts), there is something for everyone - the trick is knowing how to use the right product in the right place. Whether you are fair or dark, your concealer should also have yellow tones. Don’t use a concealer that’s white or more than half a shade lighter than your skin tone. Try for an exact match. Apply before foundation. Set the concealer with powder.
