Even for a minimal makeup look, concealers can really change the way you look and feel. All makeup is designed to bring out your inner beauty, and concealer can help you feel confident, glamorous, and ready to take on the day.
In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of concealer, how to use it, and how to pick your shade.
What You Can Use It For
Concealer is typically used for a few standard things:
- Hiding blemishes: Concealer can be used as a spot corrector to hide blemishes on any part of your face and neck.
- Evening out the color of your under eyes: If you have dark under-eye circles, concealers can be a great way to blend the color of your under-eye to the color of your face.
- Contouring: Some people enjoy contouring to achieve a more glamorous look, in which case they will use concealer to create the illusion of a higher cheekbone, or to make their nose appear thinner and straighter.
- Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles: If you have fine lines and wrinkles, you might feel the need to cover them up ever so gently. The right concealer can do just that.
What Do You Need It For
Selecting your shade of concealer can depend on what you need it for.
For example, if you primarily use concealer for your under-eye circles, you will want to select a shade that is slightly lighter than your skin tone. Not only will this blend better, but it will brighten up the area around your eyes. For the same reason, contouring will require a slightly lighter shade of concealer in order to uplift the targeted areas.
If you need a concealer for blemishes, fine lines, and wrinkles, you will need to select a shade of concealer that is the closest to your skin tone. This will make the blending look natural, no matter where you are applying the concealer. If you go too light on spots that are not underneath the eyes, it will pull attention to the very spot you are trying to conceal.
