Women are always concerned about covering up the imperfections on their face when they do makeup. We are all guilty of it who wouldn't be. There are many ways to achieve this and not cake on makeup causing your skin to have more problems. I first need to remind all you makeup geeks that washing your face and moisturizing is very very very important. Your face is your canvas so keep it healthy and there wont be many if any imperfections so cover up. The main tool in hiding imperfections is
concealer. It is more dense than foundation, allowing fuller coverage of trouble spots and red areas. It can be used over foundation or on it own, and has greater staying power. It is very dense and you don't not need to over apply on an a troubled area. Remember, a little goes a long way!
1. Since the skin under your eyes is more transparent, it tends to look dark, especially at the inner corner near the bridge of the nose. Even if we get enough sleep it is easy to have dark circles. To even out the tone, concealer is a must. Using liquid concealer, gently pat over dark under-eye circles (don't sweep it across the entire area), then blend with your ring finger. Then you can apply foundation like normal. DON'T FORGET TO BLEND! This is important because concealer is one shade lighter than your skin so you want it to blend in not stand out.
2. To cover trouble spots and imperfections, apply a thicker cream concealer onto the blemish or flaw. Then lightly press with a makeup sponge. You should wait for it to dry and then use your foundation powder all over your face for a finished look.
Tips:
- Choose the shade of your concealer carefully. When testing out shades, pick one that matches your skin tone or one shade lighter. It helps to use a mirror outdoors to see how shades look on your skin in natural light.
- Prepare your skin with a light SPF moisturizer or any moisturizer before applying concealer for a smoother application.
