If you're anything like us, you have a special attachment to concealer. It's one of our most trusted makeup products because it's always with us -- even if our skin doesn't look like it. Whether we're dealing with dark circles under our eyes or a natural blemish, concealer can make our skin problems disappear quickly. And that's not all -- concealer can do much more than simple camouflage. Next, find six places to use concealer to improve skin tone.
Above & below
Apply a thin layer of concealer above and below your eyebrows to accentuate them and widen your eyes. This also helps reshape your eyebrows or define your bow. Be sure to use a full-coverage formula like Maybelline New York Superstay beauty Concealer to really clean the edges of your eyebrows and make them look more refined.
The inner corner of the eye and under the eye
To remove dark circles, cover only the blue or purple under your eyes. To brighten your eyes, dab concealer in the inner corner of your eye. We like to use L 'Oreal Paris Eye Cream as a concealer for this area, as it's just as hydrating as an eye cream covered with pigment. We also like Kossas concealer with caffeine, peptides and hyaluronic acid.
Across the bridge, down the middle of the nose
Apply concealer to and between the bridge of your nose. This will allow the light to hit the middle of your face and help define your nose.
If you want to hide fine lines or wrinkles, lift upturned lips by covering up the outer corners of your eyes. Concealer like Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Concealer is perfect for this purpose as it is lightweight and helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles and creases.
The central chin
Apply a small semicircle of concealer to the crease of the chin to prevent redness or blackness. This is also a good place to place concealer, as it can help highlight lip color.
In every nostril
This area is usually red and swollen and has broken capillaries. Brightening around your nose will make your skin look more even. We love Dermablend Cover Care Full Cover Concealer because it amazingly eliminates any discoloration.
