If you like a full glam look, or are looking to completely cover acne and/or dark circles, a full-coverage concealer will be your best bet. It’s also recommended to look for non-comedogenic concealers for any skin type, as these will not clog your pores. If you have mature skin, you may also want to look for a glowy concealer with hydrating ingredients that can double as a skincare product. Those with oily or combination skin should choose a concealer with a matte finish, while those with dry skin should go for one with a dewy or satin finish in order to avoid emphasizing dry patches. The concealer formula you choose should depend on your skin type, your desired coverage and where you will be placing the formula. It also makes it easier to layer other powder products, such as bronzer or blush, on top. But brushing or pressing a powder on with a sponge can help add coverage (if the powder is tinted), absorb shine, prevent creasing and make the concealer underneath last longer. Setting with powder isn’t always necessary, especially if you have dry skin or are going for a glowy look. For a more natural look, blend with your fingers or a sponge, also using light, bouncing or tapping motions. Use light tapping motions for the most coverage. If you’re going for full coverage, we recommend pressing the product into your skin with a concealer brush - we love the Lawless Beauty Concealer Brush. The method you use to apply your concealer comes down to preference. STEP 2: Apply Concealer With a Brush, Sponge or Fingers If you’re not highlighting, or if you're trying to spot-conceal a blemish, pick a concealer shade that matches your skin tone. This can also help balance out a too-dark foundation color. If you’re highlighting the center of your face or trying to brighten up your under-eye area, choose a formula that’s a shade or two lighter than your skin tone. The first step to concealing is choosing your product. How to Apply Concealer in 3 Easy Steps STEP 1: Pick Your Formula and Shade We love a full-coverage concealer to even out any discoloration. Brightening around the nose will help your skin tone appear more even all over. This area is commonly plagued by redness and broken capillaries. This is also a great spot to place concealer because it can help cover up any mistake you make when applying a bold lip color (it makes the color pop more too). Center of the ChinĬombat redness or darkness by blending a small semicircle of concealer right at the crease in the chin. A lightweight concealer is perfect for this because it will help to minimize the appearance of lines and creases without caking up. Around the MouthĬonceal the outer corners of the mouth to lift downturned lips or if you want to hide the look of fine lines or wrinkles. Across the Bridge and Down the Center of the NoseĪpply concealer on the bridge and down the center of your nose to bring light to the center of your face and help contour the nose. We recommend using a hydrating formula for this area, since the skin under the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face. To brighten up the eyes even more, tap a little concealer in the inner corners of your eye. To get rid of dark circles, conceal only the blue or purple tint beneath your eyes. Be sure to use a full-coverage formula to really clean up those edges for precise-looking brows. This also helps with reshaping your brows or defining your arches. Where to Apply Concealer Above & Below the Browīlend a thin line of concealer on top of and underneath the brows to make eyebrows pop and open up the eyes.
