How to choose a face concealer - useful tips
If the corrector for the skin of the face is used in order to mask small errors in appearance and prepare the epidermis for applying makeup, you should adhere to the following tips:
- Colored, oily or liquid corrective agents should be applied to match, and solid ones should be applied on top of the foundation.
- If you need to mask age spots or freckles by applying the corrector pointwise to problem areas, you need to use a minimum amount of funds. If you apply too much concealer, your skin can get unsightly blemishes.
- Before applying the corrector, you need to properly prepare the skin. First, a moisturizer is applied and left until completely absorbed.
- You can mix toner and color corrector for the smoothest possible finish, but they should have a similar consistency. This coating becomes almost invisible on the skin of the face.
- To make dark circles under the eyes invisible, it is recommended to opt for a product with an oily or liquid texture. The corrector is applied with a thin brush and gently spread over the skin surface with your fingertips, then the face is lightly powdered.
During the application of the corrector, do not stretch the skin too much, as the product will lie unevenly and ugly spots will appear on the face. It is best to apply the concealer with a soft brush and blend with your fingertips.
