Concealer…

TIP 1:  What Kind?

The right concealer can hide just about every imperfection
and give you flawless skin. Gently pat concealer on with
fingertips, or brush on with a soft flat brush. Anyone who
has less than perfect skin needs a good concealer.

Hint: Concealer should cover entire under-eye, including
outside of eye to give it lift. The outside of the eye is
also prone to redness and dryness.

Liquid concealer is especially recommended for dry skin and
for concealing large areas like under-eye circles.

Solid concealer is necessary to hide stubborn pimples, scars
and bruises.

A more natural looking concealer is a cream-to-powder
foundation. Match it to the shade of liquid or cream
foundation.

Hint: With liquid or solid foundation, best results are
obtained by using concealer afterwards. When using a
cream-to-powder foundation, concealer should go on first.

 
TIP 2:  Expert Tricks

* Add yellow eye shadow to concealer or foundation to
conceal dark circles. It will color-correct dark undertones
while concealing.

* Blue or green eye shadow added to concealer or foundation
will correct ruddy tones and broken capillaries.

* Use the residue in the cap of your foundation as the
perfect concealer. It’s slightly dehydrated, making it just
the right thickness to conceal. And of course, it matches
your foundation beautifully!
