To be applied at the beginning of the beauty routine, between the day cream and the foundation or the BB cream, an anti-dark circles stick can help you erase your dark circles, as the name suggests, but also to camouflage an unsightly pimple or redness. With the advent of social networks, especially the TikTok app, new makeup practices are emerging, some of which deserve to be known. This is how we recently learned how to apply your concealer to erase the signs of aging. Amazing? We tell you everything in this article!
How to choose your concealer?
As with all cosmetics, a complexion corrector should be perfectly suited to your complexion. For perfect coverage, your concealer should not be too light or dark. For this, we advise you to make a test on the back of your hand before buying. For fair skin, a rosé product will do very well, while the earlier skins will go for a beige hue.
Mixed skin will prefer a dark-brown concealer. If you are hesitant about shades, know that the basic rule is to always choose a concealer one half tone below the skin tone. This also applies to foundation materials, BB and CC creams or loose powders, for a perfect complexion.
Concealer comes in different forms: stick solid, brush liquid, powder or foam. You can also use a sponge to apply or blend it with your finger. The choice of texture will depend on your needs. A stick concealer will be easier to take away and use for touch-ups during the day and pigments will be less volatile. On the other hand, a liquid product will be easier to stretch and penetrate.
Depending on your skin type, you won’t opt for the same product: dry and dehydrated skin will opt for fluid concealer more moisturizing than a compact version. Moreover, this texture will not affect fine lines. The solid concealer will be more covering and can be used on very marked skin problems. Remember to use a long-lasting, moisturizing concealer with SPF even during the winter.
Finally, rendering is also very important in choosing your concealer. There are three different types of effects currently on the market:
- The matte concealer: it has the particularity of being very covering. It will mainly be used as a base for very sophisticated evening makeup.
- Second Skin Concealer—the most natural product, it will camouflage your slight imperfections while leaving a transparent look on the skin. It will be ideal for women who do not use foundation on top of it and as a base for discreet makeup during the day.
- The Illuminator Concealer: it mimics the effect of the highlighter by incorporating light-reflecting pigments into its composition. It will give radiance to the eyes and perfectly prepare the skin for luminous makeup.
How to apply your concealer properly?
If applying your concealer is more common before your foundation or BB cream, some people prefer to use it after or even before and after. It is perfectly possible, but you will have to know how to apply the product. To do this, you can choose the tool that suits you best: brush, beauty blender, sponge or directly on the finger, it’s up to you.
Always put down your concealer in small strokes rather than spreading it out. Lightly tap from the inner corner of the eye until complete penetration. For a natural and uniform effect, keep in mind that it is recommended to apply your product on a large surface and not only on the area to be camouflaged.
