HOW TO CHOOSE AND APPLY CONCELOR WHICH IS BEST FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE AND COLOR

 How To Choose The Right Concealer And Tips on How To Apply

Just like foundation, choosing a concealer for your skin type takes a bit knowledge. Intuitively picking a formula that you think best for your skin type is not the smartest approach for finding a concealer. In fact, finding your perfect match is arguably more difficult than finding the equivalent in a foundation. So I am proving some of my knowledge on how to choose a concealer for your skin type and Tips on how to apply a concealer in right manner.

How To Choose A Concealer Formula

Let’s begin with sheer basics. Choosing your concealer mainly depends on what works for your skin type and concerns. So, before you head out to buy a concealer, make sure you know what exactly you’re looking for.

Liquid Concealer

A liquid concealer is the most versatile of the lot. It’s perfect for normal, oily or combination skin type. It’s easy to apply, and its coverage is buildable, which ranges from light to full. Also, liquid concealers come in various finishes such as matte, dewy, and satin. This kind of concealer is also least likely to clog pores, so if you are someone with sensitive and acne-prone skin, I recommend you try one.

Some of the best liquid concealer out there include the MAC Pro Longwear concealer, LA Girl HD Pro Conceal they are the Weightless Complete Coverage Concealers.

Cream Concealer

If you have dry or combination skin type, cream concealer will work well for you. Its coverage is buildable, ranging from medium to full. You can choose one with either a creamy finish or a satin finish. Their formula and consistency are great to conceal discolorations. Sometimes, cream concealers tend to crease when worn for long hours – you can prevent this by setting your concealer with some pressed powder.

If you are looking for a cream concealer, make sure you take a look at these amazing options: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, Bobbi Brown New Concealer Kit, and MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35.

Stick Concealer

Stick concealers are a blessing for dry and sensitive skin. These set into either a satin or powdery matte finish, depending on the product you choose. I found that this kind of concealer has buildable coverage ranging from medium to full.

The most popular stick concealers include Tarte’s Amazonian Clay Waterproof 12-Hour Concealer, Amazing Cosmetics Perfection Stick, and Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer.

How To Conceal The Right Way?

Now the big question arises – concealer or foundation – what comes first?

Well, the answer is simple. It’s always best to apply your foundation all over before going in with your concealer.

But, if you are aiming to achieve utter perfection, there’s a step that comes before foundation, and that’s when color correcting concealers enter the picture.

Once you’ve color corrected and have the product in place, gently press the foundation and then your concealer using a makeup sponge. Pressing will ensure that your color correcting concealer has stayed in place. It’s also important to keep in mind that less is more – so use small amounts of corrector only where you need it. You can set your makeup using a pressed powder for it to last longer.

I hope that this will help you to pick out the best concealer for yourself that would go well with your skin!
