The Dos and Don'ts of Concealer Application

Concealer is an innovative makeup product that has been trending because of its potential to cover impurities to provide flawless and long-lasting makeup. It is a versatile product that can cover imperfections, brighten the skin, and even out skin tone.   

By covering up imperfections, it can help create a flawless and even skin tone, which can instantly boost your confidence. So, let us first understand why Concealer is required in makeup.   

  • Concealer is used to cover up blemishes such as acne, scars, and marks and even out the skin tone for a better application of the foundation.   

  • Dark circles are a concern for many. After you hide dark circles with a concealer that suits your skin tone, you can create a bright makeup look and reflect a more youthful appearance.    

  • Concealers often are used as highlighters to accentuate features. Lighter shades of concealers are used to create a sculpted look.  

  • Discoloration and pigmentation on the skin can be tackled with the help of concealers that come in different shades.  

Dos of concealer application  

  • The Right Shade: Choosing a shade that matches the skin tone to your skin tone is essential. A concealer that is too light or too dark can create an unnatural look.  

  • A Lightweight Formula: Whether you select a concealer or a color corrector, opt for a lightweight, buildable formula that won't feel heavy or cakey on your skin. A lightweight formula also lets you gradually layer the product and build coverage.    

  • Blend Well: Blend the Concealer well to avoid harsh lines or uneven application. This will help to bring smoothness to the texture and increase the effectiveness of the makeup. Use a beauty sponge or a brush to blend the product seamlessly into your skin.  

  • Color Corrector: If you have dark circles under your eyes, using a corrector before your Concealer can help neutralize the discoloration. Moreover, different color correctors are used in makeup to neutralize or counteract specific skin discolorations, such as redness, dark spots, and under-eye circles. The best step is to apply them before Concealer.  

  • Set with Powder: Set it with a translucent powder to prevent the Concealer from creasing or fading throughout the day. This will also help your makeup last longer.  

Don’ts of a concealer application  

  • Don't Overdo: Applying too much Concealer can create a heavy, cakey look. You can start with a small amount and build coverage gradually.  

  • Don't Use Concealer as a Highlighter: Although concealers can help with light highlighting, they are not a substitute for a highlighter. A natural-looking glow can only be achieved through a highlighter.  

  • Don't Apply to Dry Skin: Moisturising is a key step of makeup. If you have dry skin, Concealer can settle into fine lines or wrinkles. Make sure to moisturize and prime your skin before applying Concealer.  

  • Don't Use One Shade for Everything: There are so many color correctors for various concerns. Different areas of your face may require different shades of Concealer. So, never use a single-color concealer for all skin concerns.  

You can also use a concealer palette that has all the shades to cover all the skin concerns. A concealer palette is the best way to make the best out of the concealer price.  

If you are a beginner or a pro in makeup, concealer makeup can completely change your makeup game. Viseart concealers are full coverage concealers that can help in smooth and flawless skin. Use these ultra-pigmented concealers and achieve an impactful makeup look.
