Fortunately, modern cosmeticswork wonders. And decorative cosmetics are generally capable of returning beauty and freshness to our face in a matter of minutes, and, of course, a good mood to us. But not everyone knows how to use this cosmetics “to the fullest.” That is, not to apply a thick layer of makeup, but simply to use certain products and tools correctly. For example, do you know how to use concealer? And what kind of product is this anyway? Let's figure it out.
What is concealer
Concealer is a cosmetic product that covers the skin.a means, a tool for correction, with the help of which you can hide minor skin defects. Concealer is intended specifically for disguise. It is a kind of camouflage for the face that helps to make invisible what we want to hide. Although modern manufacturers produce concealers, which contain substances that can dry out acne (pimples) or lighten pigment spots, such a tool works only as a camouflage agent, but is not able to completely eliminate skin problems. However, antioxidants and vitamins included in concealers, of course, have a beneficial effect on the skin. Concealers usually have a creamy or paste-like consistency, close to foundation (foundation). They are available in several types:
- liquid concealers,
- moisturizing tips,
- pencil sharpeners,
- concealer-stick,
- concealer-highlighter,
- lip consoles,
- color concealers.
Each type of concealer is designed for specific purposes and specific problem areas.
Why do we need different concealers
Typically women who use concealer havenot one such product, but at least two. The fact is that one and the same corrector cannot always cope with several skin problems. And different imperfections are more conveniently masked with correctors specially designed for this purpose.
- Liquid concealer
Used to mask skin imperfectionsaround the eyes and lips. It brightens the skin and hides redness well (on the eyelids, near the nose), and is also an indispensable product for sensitive and dry skin of the face. This concealer is especially good for evening makeup.
- Concealer-pencil
Perfectly conceals small pimples, spots,spider veins and wrinkles around the mouth. Its structure is quite viscous, so the concealer pencil is not shaded (this stretches the skin), but applied pointwise.
- Concealer Stick
It is able to hide minor irregularities and disguiseredness, freckles and pigment spots. It is not used to mask raised irregularities (pimples, moles), but is great for hiding small depressions (from scars, for example). However, such a product will only make wrinkles around the eyes more noticeable.
- Moisturizing concealer
Ideal for masking wrinkles around the eyeseyes, which also hides dark circles under the eyes perfectly. This concealer has a soft creamy texture and is saturated with moisturizing substances. It is easy to apply and blend and does not clog small skin folds.
- Lip Balm
It has a very light structure and masks almost any imperfections of the delicate skin on the lips. Refreshes and revives the lips and hides wrinkles at the top and corners of the mouth.
- Conaler highlighter
A universal remedy that copes with everythingproblems of the face. It has the property of not only masking imperfections, but also highlighting the skin. However, it is only suitable for problems that are not clearly expressed. Otherwise, it is better to use a concealer and a highlighter separately.
- Color Concealers
There are three types. Green hides all redness (pimples, spider veins). Yellow masks bruises. Brown hides pigment spots. Colored concealers are applied under the foundation.
How to choose and apply concealer
It is worth approaching the choice of concealer very carefullycarefully. If we use it to mask redness, scars and small pimples, then we choose a product that exactly matches the skin tone. In order to hide various bulges (pimples and unevenness on oily skin, for example), we take a concealer that is darker than the skin. But to mask circles under the eyes, we use a product of a lighter tone. The science of using a concealer is not particularly difficult. However, in the process of using such a corrective product, it is necessary to follow certain rules.
And finally, some useful tips from professional makeup artists.
- In the process of working with concealer, do not stand (sit) close to the mirror. At a closer distance, only a tool is shaded, and it is applied, stepping back a step.
- You can only use the corrector on moistened skin.
- Warm hands concealer shading better and go at the same time more smoothly. Therefore, before applying the corrector, the fingers need to be warmed.
- When working with a corrector, do not use a magnifying mirror.
- If necessary, the concealer can be applied in several layers.
- In no event should concealer be used to mask open wounds and fresh abrasions. This can provoke inflammation.
- Before you start, you should definitely wash your brushes and hands.
These are some simple rules.Knowing how to use concealer correctly, you will definitely be able to hide all (or almost all) skin imperfections on your face from prying eyes. This magic product will allow you to look simply gorgeous and no worse than the beauties in glamor magazines or on TV screens. In any case, the corrector will easily hide dark circles under the eyes, small pimples and wrinkles. However, do not forget that this is only a temporary visual effect. You need to take care of yourself constantly, even if you have a miracle corrector in your arsenal and you know how to use it masterfully. Take care of yourself and stay beautiful!
