Concealer

 
Concealer
 
Concealer is used to cover dark circles, blemishes or other skin perfections. Like foundation it comes in different forms (and colours but we’ll get to that later).

Solid- These can come in tubes that look like lipstick or in a pot/palette, you can rub your finger in it and the heat from your skin should make them melt in a thick cream you can then apply them to any blemishes or skin imperfections. These are not the best to blend and not good for sensitive skin around the eyes and if too much is applied to large spots/blemishes it tends to ‘cake’ around the skin making it even more obvious.

Liquid- This is good for covering a big area such as patches of acne, dark circles under the eyes however it doesn’t provide full coverage like the solid concealer however it is easier to blend.

Powder- This is used with a makeup brush and is the easiest to blend with the rest of your makeup however it provides the least amount of coverage and is best for very light blemishes.
