What is the Eye Concealer? When Do You Need It?
The eye concealer, which will help make the skin flawless, is the primary heroine of the cosmetic bag. Let’s look at its characteristics, as well as how to use it and the most common blunders women make when using it. Continue reading.
What is the concealer?
The main difference is the texture. Concealers can be liquid, cream, pencil, or stick.
Liquid. Typically water-based and ideal for dry skin. Available in a pen and brush, tube, or dispenser bottle. The last is the safest – there is no contact with the skin and the likelihood of bringing bacteria into the vial.
Cream. The texture is already denser, it covers circles under the eyes well and, if it is matte, it perfectly hides pores and eliminates oily sheen.
Pencil. Suitable for correcting the wings of the nose and very small points. It is convenient for them to highlight the area under the eyebrow or draw a chiseled nose.
Stick. Similar to a pencil, but thicker in texture. Perfectly covers post-acne, and inflammation, and generally evens out skin tone. But you need to carefully apply it on skin prone to rashes – it can clog pores.
Tips for choosing
If you don’t know how to choose a concealer, study your skin tone and its problems. Below are the rules to follow:
- The concealer of this shade covers the circles under the eyes of blue and purple shades. It softens skin tone and neutralizes bruising.
- This concealer perfectly masks under-eye circles with an olive and greenish tint.
- Light colored. If you have brown circles under your eyes (often caused by lack of sleep), choose a concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin tone. This technique will refresh and hide signs of fatigue. In all other cases, it is better to select the tone on tone.
How to use it?
Don’t know how to use eye concealer? Draw a triangle and paint it over it. Blend gently with a sponge, brush, or fingers. The last option is the best. The trick is that you melt the concealer with your fingers and it gently spreads over the skin. Do not smear too much, the movements should be light and directed towards the temples.
Apply concealer to tone. The job of a concealer is to lighten blemishes and redness. That is why it is important to get an even color with the help of a foundation and to point out what could not be covered.
Replaced concealer with foundation. The task of the foundation is to even out the color, and not to cover imperfections with a dense layer. Moreover, if you apply it to the area around the eyes, you risk getting wrinkles. The composition of the foundation is not intended for this delicate area.
Primer not used. Concealer is a fairly dense product that can sink into wrinkles during the day, emphasizing them. To avoid this, apply a primer base first to fill in the creases.
