Concealer effect
Function 1: Use concealer to treat obvious wrinkles.
There are some concealer products aimed at fine lines on the surface, and most of the ingredients add some photosensitive factors to dilute or even smooth wrinkles through the refraction of light.
Function 2: Treat acne scars or pits with concealer.
Many makeup brands have developed concealer for acne, which usually contains natural plant extracts that inhibit oil secretion and antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiallergic ingredients.
Function 3: Use concealer to treat spots or local dullness.
In professional concealer, BobbiBrown and M.A.C have rich color systems, such as orange, moon yellow and ivory white, with different shades and textures. Professional makeup artists often use these brands of concealer products, and like to use several colors alternately. Many people are not sure about the order of using foundation and concealer. A more reasonable order is to apply concealer after foundation. The advantage of this is that the background color is already very uniform, and the places that need to be enhanced most are clear and the amount is very small.
Application method: Choose a face concealer that should be lighter than the foundation, dip a proper amount with your fingertips or a small concealer brush, and gently apply it to the spots in a light way until the concealer and foundation are evenly mixed.
Function 4: Use concealer to deal with dark circles.
Before painting dark circles with concealer, you must first apply moisturizing eye cream in the order of lower eyelid, upper eyelid and outer corner of eye. Wait until the eye cream is completely absorbed, and then observe your eyes carefully. The upper eyelid sometimes has pigmentation or red blood, and the lower eyelid sometimes has obvious dark circles, which will make the eye makeup look dirty, so it should be covered with special eye concealer. The ingredients of eye concealer products will contain some eye care ingredients, such as chamomile, angelica essence with moisturizing effect, Ginkgo biloba extract to improve eye skin metabolism and so on.
Steps to use concealer
1. Brighten skin tone
Brighten your skin with concealer first. Dip a small amount of bb cream in the middle finger and ring finger, starting from the cheekbones with spots. Push bb cream evenly from around cheekbones to eyes and face. Then the position of the bridge of the nose starts from the middle of the eyebrows and pushes up and down respectively. Then dip a small amount of foundation in your fingertips and gently brush your eyelids to brighten your skin tone.
2. Preliminary concealment
Whether you use concealer or concealer, you should first apply a proper amount of concealer where you need to conceal it. After application, gently press the face with your fingertips to let the concealer naturally and evenly cover the defect position.
Step 3 partially hide
After the initial concealment, we need special treatment for some key positions. For example, at the moment, the nose and so on. Paste concealer products are recommended for these positions. Because the position of the alar is relatively small, we can use a cotton swab to help smear it. Dip a cotton swab in a proper amount of concealer, gently place it on the dull part of the nose, and then apply it evenly in a circle from the middle point.
4. Loose powder and fixed makeup
The last step is to gently sweep a layer of loose powder on the concealer, so that the concealer effect will last longer and present a natural feeling, and no traces of modification can be seen.
Application skills of concealer
1. How to cover dark circles is a problem that almost all girls will encounter, so I don't know whether to choose a concealer deeper than dark circles or a light concealer. In fact, if you want to make the dark circles less obvious, you need to brighten them with a light concealer and a highlight pen.
2. Pigmentation and spots on the face will give people the impression of aging and listlessness. Ordinary foundation can't completely cover these spots, so we must turn to professional concealer products. When choosing products, concealer close to your skin color has the best effect, which can completely cover the spots and naturally blend with your skin color.
3. When using concealer to cover skin problems in a large area, it is recommended that you use a professional concealer brush. The effect is more natural than applying makeup with fingers, and the paste will be thinner. Concealer brush made of bristles has the best effect.

Everyone has been arguing about whether to use foundation or concealer first.

If you use powder cake, you must conceal it first, otherwise it will easily cause dry lines if you apply concealer again.
6. If you want to use concealer to cover wrinkles and decrees, you should first use makeup cream as a base to ensure that the skin keeps enough moisture for a long time, otherwise the wrinkles may become more obvious in the afternoon because of dryness.
