It would be useful to mention that any of the above meansyou need to select individually, according to the type of each skin.
Makeup steps
The first step in applying makeup is to mask various imperfections. Everyone knows that the main tool in this, of course, is the concealer. Only a few know how to apply it correctly.
First, mask imperfections with a concealer. Greenish tint - redness, light - dark circles under the eyes.
After evenly applying the product, apply a tonal foundation. Followed by a layer of foundation-matching powder and blush.
What concealer can do
To mask various kinds of redness, it is best to use a greenish tint. It is this color that masks redness the best.
To mask dark circles under the eyes, it is best to use a concealer one shade lighter than the foundation color. This is true in the cold season, when the skin becomes pale.
But in the summer it is better to do it a little differently. For tanned skin of the face, you need to choose an appropriate, darker foundation and a concealer of the same color. This is done in order not to get the effect of white glasses under the eyes.
Where to apply the concealer, figured out, now you need to understand how to do it right. Proper application is very important to avoid uneven, rolled makeup. Such a careless approach may not only not get rid of skin imperfections, but also aggravate the situation even more.
Correct application
For disguisesmall imperfections use concealer. How to apply it is not tricky science, but very necessary. If you apply it too thick, the bumps will show up a lot even after you cover it with foundation.
The tool can be in the form of a pencil or liquid. Pencils are universal: on the one hand a greenish tint, and on the other - light. It is easier to use a pencil in the sense that it dries longer and you can safely distribute it on the area to be masked.
Liquid concealer dries faster but applies more evenly. The main thing is to have time to gently shade it.
You need to shade the product as carefully as possible, while doing not rubbing movements, but gentle patting. This is done in order to avoid lumps.
Choose a remedy
All cosmetics stores have special samplers, which show the entire color palette of each product. There is also a special concealer palette. How to apply a probe? When choosing any concealer for the face, the wrist or the outside of the hand is usually used. By eye, such things should not be chosen.
Now let's figure out how to properly apply concealer under the eyes.
Remove dark circles and age spots
In order to make the eyes fresher and remove the circles under them, a light shade of concealer is applied to the crease under the eyes. How to apply it correctly was described earlier. It is important that the layer is notgot too thick. Let it dry a little, then, if the skin is light, use a light shade and gently shade it on the area under the eyes. If the skin is tanned, you can use a dark shade or do without it, immediately applying a tonal foundation.
Definitely, if a concealer was used, and you do not want to apply a tone on top, you need to use powder. Through the powder, the skin of the face will breathe well and when using it, the transitions from the application of the product will be hidden.
Pigmented spots are best masked with a product of the same shade as the foundation, blending it evenly and allowing it to dry a little.
This tool is often used to correct the shape of the nose. In order to make the nose thinner and more elegant, you need to use a dark shade of concealer. How to apply it correctly? Two lines are drawn along the nose. If you need to make the wings or the protruding lower part more invisible, a dark tone is also carefully applied there. Then you need to apply a tonal foundation.
Also, concealer can be used to brighten up the face. To do this, apply a light shade of the product to the middle part of the face: the area between the eyebrows, the front bridge of the nose, the dimple under the nose.
In addition, applying a light shade to the dimple under the nose makes the lips fuller, and therefore more spectacular.
