Concealer: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing and Applying It Like a Pro
Oct 18, 2024
The concealer is a must-have in every makeup bag. Whether you want to cover dark circles, brighten your eyes, or hide blemishes, the right concealer can work wonders. But how do you choose the perfect concealer and apply it for a natural look that lasts all day? Let’s dive in and find out!
How to Choose the Best Concealer for You
The liquid concealer is perfect if you’re looking for something lightweight, especially for the delicate under-eye area. It’s also great if you have combination to oily skin, as its creamy texture won’t settle into fine lines and remains comfortable all day long.
Here are some tips to help you find the best concealer:
-
To cover dark circles: Opt for an under-eye concealer that provides good coverage without drying out the skin. Choose a shade slightly lighter than your foundation to brighten your under-eye area.
-
For blemishes: If you need to cover blemishes, go for something with a bit more coverage. The key is to make sure it blends seamlessly into your skin for a natural finish.
And, as a bonus, all our concealers at Ohana&K are Vegan and Cruelty-Free, so you can feel good about using them! Our range comes in 6 shades to match various skin tones.
How to Apply Concealer Like a Pro
1. Prep Your Skin
Before applying concealer, make sure to hydrate your under-eye area with a specific eye cream. The skin around your eyes is thin and sensitive, so moisturizing it will help the concealer apply smoothly and avoid accentuating fine lines. This is the key step to ensuring your makeup looks flawless all day long!
2. Apply Where It Matters
When applying your full-coverage concealer, don’t forget to also apply it to the inner corner of your eyes – this trick will really brighten your eyes and hide any shadows. If you have redness around your nose, feel free to add a little concealer there too.
3. Pat, Don’t Rub
To blend your under-eye concealer, avoid rubbing. Instead, use a sponge or even your fingertips to gently pat the product into your skin. This helps maintain coverage while ensuring the product stays in place.
4. Set Everything in Place
To keep your under-eye concealer in place all day, apply a light layer of translucent setting powder. If you have combination to oily skin, this will help control shine and extend the longevity of your makeup. A lightweight Setting Powder is perfect for this step as it keeps everything in place without making your skin look heavy.
Bonus: For Extra Staying Power
If you want to make your makeup last even longer, a Setting Spray can be the final touch. It helps lock everything in place, ensuring your makeup stays flawless without feeling heavy.
Common Concealer Mistakes to Avoid
Even with a great product, some common mistakes can slip into your routine. Here are a few to avoid:
-
Choosing a concealer that’s too light: If your concealer is too light, it can give you a reverse panda effect. Choose a shade that blends well with your foundation or one that’s slightly lighter to brighten your under-eye area.
-
Applying too much product: Sometimes, less is more. Apply your concealer in small amounts and build it up as needed.
-
Forgetting to set it: If you don’t set your concealer with powder, it may move throughout the day, especially if you have combination to oily skin.
