Applying Inner concealer:

APPLYING INNER CONCEALER:

You should apply the concealer in the inner corners of the nose by the eyes and the dark areas under the eyes. To give a perfect look to your skin gently pat the concealer on with your fingertips and then cover the entire under-eye area and outside area of the eyes. Concealer first or foundation???

• When you are using liquid or solid foundation then you should apply the concealer only after the foundation but when you are using a cream-to-powder foundation then you should use the concealer first and then only the foundation.
• To apply concealer, dot it on and then blend gently with a dry wedge sponge or clean finger. It will help you in concentrated pigment and intense seamless coverage of the intended area. You can also dot some concealer over foundation, before powder for added coverage.
• To keep things as natural as possible, apply your foundation first and then top up the cover on only the inner half of the under eye. This way if you have the beginnings of fine lines, you are not adding weight to the outer half and showing off the problem.
• If you are not using a color corrector then you should apply your foundation as normal. After that apply nearly dried concealer over the foundation in light patting strokes. And then reapply a bit of foundation in the same way.
• While using liquid or solid foundation, best results could be obtained by applying concealer afterwards. But when using a cream-to-powder foundation, concealer should go on first.

Under Eye Concealer A neutral shade of under eye concealer can help you neutralize the purple or brown tones of bruising, under eye circles and other concealing challenges. Concealer should cover entire under-eye, including outside of eye to give it lift.

Use of darker concealer:

You should also note that the darker the circle is around your eyes the darker the concealer should be. You should test the color of a concealer over the foundation that you apply. If you find that the effect is invisible then it means you have chosen the correct shade.

Concealer for Sensitive Skin:

If your skin is sensitive then you should choose a concealer that contains only pure mineral pigment color and no dyes, oils, talc or starch.

How To Use Concealer:

• You should apply the concealer with a fine brush or with pointy cotton swabs.
• Remember that the concealer is only meant to hide small blemishes or unevenness in the skin and not to cover up major skin flaws.
• This makeup must be applied in a very directional manner otherwise it runs the risk of giving you look of a 'cake'.
• When you are using your hands to apply the concealer you should always use little amount of it. A good rule is that it should be in such amount that you are able to see your fingertip when you have taken the concealer on it.
