MAKE UP CLASS 6: Conceal it...



Happy holiday readers, it’s been a rainy morning in this part of the world – compared to the scorching heat this past few days, I’ll take the rain…

Our makeup tip for today would be focusing on the concealer. So, pull out your writing tools and let’s begin…

A concealer is used to mask dark circles and other blemishes visible on the skin. Concealers do a very good job by blending the imperfection into the surrounding skin tone which can be used by both sexes.

Concealers tend to be more heavily pigmented unlike foundation which is usually applied to larger areas. Concealers can be used alone or in conjunction with foundation. It is used to cover serious skin discolorations such as scars and birthmarks.

Concealers are available in different shades (from light to deep tones). While some are intended to look natural, others are meant to contrast with a particular type of blemish.

Picking the right concealer…

Bear in mind…

·         Thick textured concealer is good for covering up dark circles and red splotches.

·        Light textured concealer is better for small irregularities in complexion.

·        To keep your concealer visible, it has to be 1 or 2 tones lighter than the tone of your foundation, but still close to the tone of your skin.

·        Always check the expiry date of your concealer.

Before concealing…

·        Treat your face with moisturiser to make any correction less visible. If you conceal without moisturiser and your skin is dry and flaky, concealer will fail to cover up your blemishes and also highlight them.

·        For dark circles: Put your concealer at the base of the eye close to the inner corner and draw the line outward. Pat in your concealer, do not rub, this may cause occasional swelling.

·        You must be careful if you have fine wrinkles around your eyes, use a light- textured concealer.

·        The purpose of concealer is to conceal! So if you cover up all your flaws, but the concealer remains visible, practice more.

Enjoy your holiday ;)
