Types of Concealer

TYPES OF CONCEALER:

1. The liquid concealer:

Those who have dry skin should choose the liquid concealer. The liquid concealer also helps to camouflage larger areas such as the dark circles around your eyes.

2. Solid Concealer:

Though the liquid concealer is considered as the best foundation but the solid concealer is considered better when it is time to hide certain problem areas such as pimples, scars and bruises.

3. Stick Concealer:

The stick concealer is said to provide direct on-the-spot application. The stick concealer is recommended for the best coverage but when it is question of the minimum coverage the liquid concealer could also be used.

How to choose a concealer type:

The choice of a concealer type also depends on the area you want to cover. The dry concealer is considered better for covering up the face in general whereas for the delicate areas such as under-eye area, the cream concealer should be preferred.

Best concealer:

• You should choose a makeup concealer that is not only lightweight but at the same time creamy also.


• You should go for a concealer that is water-resistant and fragrance-free.

HOW TO APPLY COLOR CORRECTOR:

In case you use a color corrector, ensure that you apply a very small amount of it and then only apply foundation. When you find that it has set, once again apply a tiny amount of the color corrector.
