Concealer, what exactly should you do with it? Do you apply it under or over your foundation ? Where do you apply it and what color should you use? In this blog you will get answers to all your concealer questions!
Different colors of concealer
Besides the regular skin-colored concealer, you also have colored concealers. A yellow, green, purple and an orange to be precise. These color correcting concealers are there to hide bags and red spots!
The yellow and orange concealer are against bags. If your bags have a purple undertone, yellow is the perfect match, if they have a blue undertone, an orange concealer is better. Do you suffer from red spots? Then put some green concealer on them to make them invisible! Then you also have purple concealer, this makes yellow discolorations disappear like snow in the sun.
These color combos work because the colors are opposites of each other. If you mix yellow with purple, you get a skin-colored tint. This is the same if you mix blue with orange, red with green, and purple with yellow.
When camouflaging, don't use super bright colours, because later on a green or orange glow can be seen through your foundation. Always apply the coloured concealers before your foundation. Otherwise you will end up with all kinds of crazy coloured spots on your face ;). Apply the product with a small concealer brush . It really only needs to be applied to the red or dark spots, using too much is just a waste. A handy tip is also to apply a little powder over the corrector, this ensures even better that you don't blend it with the foundation.
Foundation
Then apply your foundation . Do this preferably with a make-up sponge . Dab the foundation with the sponge on your skin, so that the concealer underneath does not shift. Once your foundation is completely on, you can start with the skin-colored concealer. Make sure that this is 1 or 2 shades lighter than your foundation color. That is the perfect color to keep it natural!
Skin-colored concealer
Apply the concealer in triangles under your eyes, this gives a nice lifting effect! If you apply the concealer in half moons, this does nothing for the rest of your face. You can also apply concealer to the places where you also apply highlighter . For example in the T-zone, under your eyebrows and on your chin. When you have applied concealer to all the desired places, blend everything nicely with a make-up sponge. When you have done that, you will see that there is nothing left to see of your dark circles and red spots and you have a 100% flawless skin!
