TEXTURE, SHADE AND APPLICATION: THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT CONCEALER
Concealer is an essential step for a beautiful, even complexion and flawless makeup. Sometimes, people even skip foundation and simply use concealer to cover dark circles or minor imperfections. For a more natural and lighter complexion, concealer is indispensable.
Just like foundation, a good concealer should mask dark circles and skin imperfections, not accentuate wrinkles and fine lines, and last all day. The shade you choose will differ depending on whether you need to brighten dark circles or conceal blemishes.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHADE
The shade of your concealer should be suited to the area where it's applied and should work in synergy with your foundation. The same shade won't work if you want to conceal dark circles or blemishes.
Stains, discoloration, imperfections
The shade must match your skin tone to make them disappear. You must choose a shade that exactly matches the color of your foundation.
DARK CIRCLES
The goal is to illuminate the eye area, so you should choose a shade lighter and an illuminating formula.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT TEXTURE
CREAM
There are several finishes available for cream textures. It can be very hydrating, like the Cover-up by RMS BEAUTY , which is better suited to dry skin. The Cream Concealer by ALIMA PURE offers a matte, powdery finish more suited to oily skin.
LIQUID
It can be applied to all skin types. The Clickstick The Essentialist Concealer - GRESSA SKIN is practical and easy to use for brightening the eyes.
APPLY YOUR CORRECTIONAL SOFTENER PROPERLY
If you have bags under your eyes when you wake up, you can gently massage the eye contour with the Cryo Face, which uses cryotherapy to firm and tone the tissues.

Prepare your skin by moisturizing it. To add even more radiance to the eye area, you can use an illuminating eye cream. Properly moisturizing the eye area is the secret to ensuring concealer stays put and doesn't crease.
You can apply your concealer before or after applying foundation, depending on your preference, unless you're using a powder foundation. Warm it up and apply it with your finger or a concealer brush for precise application.
Finish by setting the concealer with powder; this is the secret to long-lasting makeup.
