To use concealer effectively, follow these key steps:

Preparation

• Start with a cleansed, toned, and moisturized face to create a smooth base for concealer application

• Apply foundation first to even out your skin tone; concealer is typically applied afterward for targeted coverage

Choosing the Right Shade

• For covering blemishes or spots, use a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly.
• For under-eye brightening, select a concealer one or two shades lighter than your skin tone

Where to Apply Concealer

• Under the eyes to hide dark circles, usually in a triangle shape extending from the inner corner downward and outward to brighten and lift.
• On blemishes, spots, or pigmentation-apply concealer precisely on the area without spreading too wide.
• Around the eyebrows, below cheekbones, and around the nose if needed

Application Techniques

• Dot concealer on the desired areas.
• Use a damp makeup sponge to gently dab and blend the concealer outward for a seamless finish. Avoid dragging to prevent patchiness

• Alternatively, use clean fingers-preferably the ring finger-to gently pat and blend, as the warmth helps the product melt into the skin, especially under the eyes

• For blemishes, a small brush can be used to precisely apply and blend the product

Tips for Best Results

• Use minimal product to avoid creasing or cakiness; only cover areas that need it

• Set concealer with a light dusting of translucent powder to prolong wear and reduce creasing, especially under the eyes

• For red blemishes, consider using a green color corrector before applying concealer to neutralize redness

By following these steps, concealer can effectively brighten, conceal imperfections, and create a refreshed, radiant complexion
