For all of us there are times when we have a bit more to cover than our foundation will handles. A blemish, a dark spot, dark circles under the eyes. That’s when a good concealer comes in handy. Foundation is perfect for evening out skin tone and providing overall skin coverage. For those touch up spots a concealer is the answer.

There are a wide variety of concealers on the market. Some concealers are too pink, too dry, too hard to apply. Finding one that does the job for you may take some experimentation.
How to apply your concealer

1. Match your concealer to your skin tone, be sure it is no more than one shade lighter for the best results

2. For the best and most natural coverage apply your foundation first, then apply your concealer to the flaw areas and retouch foundation if needed.

3. Apply lightly,and add more as needed. Be sure it doesn’t look caked and and unnatural. Blend thouroughly.

4. If you have dry skin apply a light moisturizer prior to applying foundation and concealer.

5. Concealer is best applied with a small brush by dabbing. For around the eyes you can use your fingers.
