If you suffer from dark circles under the eyes, blemishes or slight imperfections on your skin, a concealer just might be the cure! The right colored concealer can hide these problem areas beautifully. Finding the correct concealer for your skin tone can be tricky, but with a few key concealer application tips, anyone can dab a little makeup magic under the eyes, and restore the beauty of youth in less than 5 minutes.

Finding the Right Shade

When choosing a concealer, select a shade that best 
matches your skin tone to even out skin or choose 
a shade lighter than your skin tone to highlight areas 
of the face. A yellow concealer shade can help 
reduce the appearance of red in the skin tone and 
a more skin toned or beige color will help hide the 
dark blue areas, such as under the eyes. You'll 
want to use different colors of concealer during 
each change of season; darker in the summer 
and lighter during the winter. When trying to 
find the right shade, do not apply it to the back 
of your hand. Instead, apply it to the area you 
want covered and stand in direct sunlight
to test it's matchability.

Application

Always use your ring finger to apply concealer. It's 
the best way to blend and get the coverage you want 
without wiping the product away. Use of this finger, will 
apply less pressure to your face, than your thumb or
index finger. Before applying foundation, apply a small 
dot of concealer on the targeted area. Gently 
pat with fingertip until well blended.

Benefits

Concealer creates a seamless canvas for perfect 
makeup application. When applied correctly, a concealer 
can successfully cover large pores, reduce eye 
discoloration, age spots, and/or hide acne and pimples. 
To cover a mole or scar use a shade that is close to your 
skin tone.

Conclusion

Be careful - the wrong color of concealer will draw 
attention to, rather than hide, the area it is applied 
being applied to. Blending is the key! Make 
sure the concealer and foundation are complimentary.

With these few tips, you'll be able to hide the imperfections of your skin and create a flawless, beautiful look.
