Everyone has a few skin problems and imperfections that they wish would just go away, but unfortunately wishing won’t do anything. Fortunately there is the miracle beauty fix, concealer, to the rescue. Concealer does just what the name says, it conceals. This staple beauty product can do wonders to highlight and enhance your beauty, without covering your natural face.
What It Is
Concealer is a makeup product that is either a cream or liquid based. It can be used for a variety of makeup tricks, but is primarily used to brighten dark areas and conceal blemishes. Concealer comes in many different shades which make it great to use for any skin tone. Concealer is also used to hide under eye circles and give an overall refreshed look to the face. You can also use concealer to highlight and draw attention to certain areas of the face including the eyes.
How To Use
Concealer is very easy to use either alone or under foundation.
Selecting the right color of concealer is really the greatest concern when choosing one. It should be the matching shade of your skin if you are using it to cover blemishes, or a shade lighter if you are using it to contour and conceal dark under eye circles. Liquid concealer usually comes in a narrow tube with an applicator wand. The applicator has a sponge tip that makes it easy to target the areas you would like with the concealer. To apply simply dab the product and spread either using the wand or your finger tips to blend the product. Cream concealer comes in a consistency that is similar to lipstick and it is applied in a similar fashion as well. Simply dab the stick onto the area you want to conceal and spread it using your fingers or a sponge.
Benefits
The main benefit of using concealer is to minimize the look of problem skin areas and discoloration, including combating redness and dark spots. Hybrid concealers have also recently been introduced to store shelves. They not only work to conceal blemishes, but to fight the bacteria that causes them as well, speeding up the healing process. Concealer can also help to make you look awake and refreshed if you have had a late night by hiding dark under eye circles.
Concealer is an excellent product with limitless uses fit for any cosmetic bag. Concealer can be used to highlight areas for contouring and to lighten dark areas of the skin. It is available for a reasonable price, making it a great value beauty product.
