What is concealer used for?

Concealer is a tool that can be used to hide imperfections on the skin of the face: unevenness, spots, bruises, pimples, damage and other flaws that spoil its appearance. The choice and correct use of this product is very important, because it helps a girl keep her skin in order.

The name of the concealer comes from the English word conceal - to hide. This is precisely the function of the tool. It is often confused with concealer: these cosmetics are indeed very similar and are often interchangeable.

But there are several subtle differences: the concealer has a lighter structure and is applied to large areas of the face, while the corrector is thicker and is used to disguise small spot defects.

Beauty brands themselves often do not differentiate between correctors and concealers: you can understand the nature of a product only by looking at how it looks on the skin. These cosmetics are produced in a variety of forms, including:

1. Concealer stick. It is used to eliminate small defects when the greatest precision is important when applying the product, for example, when masking individual freckles, small pimples and spots, light moles. It can also be used to contour the eyes or lips instead of a regular pencil for lining. Many of these products have useful bactericidal properties, which help not only mask imperfections, but also combat them.

2. 
   Concealer stick. Used for dry or normal skin; not suitable for those with oily skin, as it clogs pores. Used to conceal color imperfections on the face such as redness, freckles or scars and can be applied over very large areas of the skin but is difficult to blend out. It is not suitable for dealing with bumps or large blackheads and often only worsens their appearance.

3. Dry concealer, also known as powder concealer. Excellent for oily skin, as it neutralizes sebaceous shine and gives the face a matte appearance. Covers blemishes and pimples, but is not suitable for use around the eyes as it makes lines and wrinkles more visible.
4. Liquid concealer is the lightest type in its structure, suitable for almost any skin except very dry skin. It perfectly masks wrinkles, is suitable for cosmetic treatment of the area around the eyes and practically does not clog pores, and can also be applied to almost the entire face like a foundation.
5. Concealer cream. The most universal type of product. It has a dense structure, so it helps well in hiding dark spots, wrinkles and other noticeable defects. Often, concealer creams are produced not as single products, but in the form of sets with different colors - this includes, for example, the fairly well-known poppy palette (MAC Professional MakeUp).

Step-by-step application instructions

Using a concealer palette to hide imperfections, as well as sculpt and contour, is not as difficult as it might seem. In many ways, the techniques that are most suitable for an individual girl depend on the shape of the face and skin type. The simplest camouflage base, suitable for light daytime makeup, is done like this:

1. Apply moisturizer to a face that has been washed and free of traces of past makeup.
2. Spread the foundation evenly over your face. If it is very dense, then you should not apply it to the area around the eyes and problem areas, limiting yourself to only concealer in these places.
3. Apply concealer to the area under the eyes, drawing an inverted triangle with the base at the lower eyelid and the tip at the cheek. It’s good to blend it as close to the eyelashes as possible, right under the eyelids. Don't forget about the inner corners of your eyes as well.
4. Apply a thin layer of concealer to minor imperfections such as pimples, blemishes and scars. If necessary, use the desired shades of corrector in several layers, then blend thoroughly.
5. Remove excess concealer with a dry cloth, then apply loose or compact powder to your face.

This simple makeup will give your face freshness, even out its color and allow you to conveniently apply eye shadow, blush and lipstick.

To disguise very noticeable defects, you can turn to a professional makeup artist, but a girl with any level of skill in using cosmetics can benefit from concealers in everyday life.

Choosing a corrective composition

You need to select a corrector for each girl individually. Just because a particular remedy works for someone doesn’t mean it will necessarily work for you.

First of all, pay attention to your skin type. This is one of the most important criteria for determining the appropriate texture of the product. If in the areas that will be corrected the skin is not smooth, there are inflamed areas, acne marks or fresh rashes, then this is the case when dry corrective compositions are ideal. Wax products will not lie smoothly on raised areas and can only emphasize the presence of imperfections. Therefore, give preference to dry textures, apply them on top of powder, with light movements, when the makeup is already completed. Fat correction is more suitable for processing before photo or video shooting.

Dry corrective products are the best option if your skin is prone to oily skin, it is shiny and has enlarged pores that will only absorb liquid formulations. If you have a dry skin type, then you need to choose concealers with an oily soft texture.

Textures

One of the most important steps to understanding how to apply facial concealers is the composition of the cosmetics. Having a good understanding of this topic, you will be able to choose the right product for your skin type, and then your makeup will lie smoothly and harmoniously.

Liquid

The form of this product is similar to a light fluid or foundation. It is ideal for dry and normal epidermis types. It can often provide additional hydration. Due to its texture, it blends out perfectly. It is best to use a sponge or a thick brush with it.

Creamy

In operation, it can be compared to a body butter or cream shadows. It adheres very well to the skin, but is quite difficult to blend. Girls with increased secretion of subcutaneous fat are better off avoiding cosmetics with this structure: it can impart an inappropriate oily sheen.

Dry

To produce this product, pure pigment is pressed with mineral binders. The result is something like powder. It is best used by girls with dry and normal type of epidermis. The crumbly product lays down in a light layer and looks quite natural.
