We’ve all been there, pulling all-nighters or waking up to a pesky zit right on your nose. Before you decide to shut off the world until your skin clears up, you should try our (not so) secret weapon for covering imperfections - concealer.
Whether you’re dealing with dark circles, hyperpigmentation or blemishes, we’ve got your back! Check out our list of concealers to combat different concerns!
How to apply concealer?
Depending on what you're hiding, there are certain tricks to make your concealer match your skin tone flawlessly.
We'd mask over the areas needed to be concealed, and blend only the edges into the skin. If you blend the whole thing (especially where you mask the dark circles), your concealer will just be thinly spread across and not, well, conceal anything in particular.
For dark circles, we recommend masking over the edge (lines) of the dark circles, then blend the edge downwards into the skin. Make sure you do not apply right under the eyes. This will only irritate the eyes easily, and lose effectiveness when the product moves away due to your eyes twitching and tearing from irritation.
