CONCEALER DO'S



There are thousands of tutorials on the market out there to tell you how to put on concealer.
Here's a small list of MY best DO's when it comes to applying concealer that I think many videos lack:

DO apply your foundation all over the face first to even out skin tone IF you need it.
(I recommend Revlon's Photoready Airbrush). BLEND. BLEND. BLEND.

DO choose a color concealer/foundation that is the same color as your skin. Selecting a lighter shade can make bags appear fuller and also make the look appear overdone. Remember darker colors recede and lighter colors highlight bags. The only areas you should use a lighter color are the actual creases if you have physical bags. Just make sure to use some translucent powder to set after application.

DO place a dime-sized amount of foundation and warm it on the hand before applying it to the dark circles. You'll use less product this way. It looks less cakey. You won't look older by applying it.

DO use your ring finger to apply the foundation/concealer. The ring finger has the lightest touch out of all the digits and will insure that you don't tug and pull the delicate tissue around your eyes.

DO use a tapping motion with the ring finger when applying the makeup. This might take a bit of practice for some, but so worth it to preserve that delicate eye tissue.

DO use a brush to blend your foundation/concealer. I actually use a blush or powder brush to make sure everything is really blended and that any excess product is not around to creep back into the lines.

Again these tips are more for the everyday application. We generally don't have bright, flashing lights and retouchers following us around in our lives and less is more when it comes to daily makeup n'est pas?

Trust me your eyes will thank you later!
