What’s Concealer Used for?

Concealers are similar to foundations, the only difference is it is more thicker and helps with hiding dark circles, age spots, blemishes and redness. It perfectly hides the pigmentation of the skin around your mouth, under eyes and on forehead.

It can also be used for contouring and highlighting your face structure.

Concealers are not just used to conceal the under bags but also the darkness around your mouth and nose. It hides every skin problem and your face looks toned and flawless.

Infact, you can use concealer as an eyeshadow primer as well!

How to Use Concealer as Eyeshadow Primer?

  1. Take a little bit of your favorite brand of concealer on your forefinger. Dab a little onto your clean and dry eyelid.
  2. Without applying too much pressure, spread the concealer evenly into the inner eye corner.
  3. Do the same towards the brow so that there is an even finish.
  4. Your eyeshadow primer is ready! This technique will make your eyeshadow more pigmented.

No matter which concealer you are using, the method will be the same.

  • For almost all skin types, first, prepare your skin with moisturizer and primer. If you are a beginner, know the steps to achieve the perfect makeup look.

  • Now apply the concealer with an applicator under your eyes and move towards the outer corner of your eyes, it helps in lifting the area around the eyes also.
  • Dab gently with a finger, brush, or a beauty blender (the choice is yours)!
  • We always have a complaint of crease under the eyes when we finish our makeup. To avoid this, you have to use translucent or a compact powder which will set your makeup. One more product that will help is a “Setting Spray“.
  • Setting spray is a must-have for any makeup lover, it not only sets your makeup but also helps in getting rid of a powdery look on the face.
