What is Concealer?
Concealer is one of the most important and widely used cosmetic products. It is used to correct skin imperfections, such as:
-
Hiding dark circles under the eyes
-
Concealing acne scars
-
Brightening specific areas of the face and adding a fresh, radiant look to the skin
The Correct Way to Apply Concealer
-Start by cleansing the skin with a suitable cleanser and moisturizing the skin, especially the under-eye area.
-Apply a small amount of concealer under the eyes and on the areas you want to brighten.
-Blend the concealer using your preferred tool—this could be a brush, sponge, or fingertips—depending on what works best for you.
-Set the concealer in place by applying loose powder over it, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish.
How to Choose the Right Concealer Shade
When choosing the right concealer, it’s important to consider the specific skin concerns you want to address:-For skin with no major blemishes or dark circles:- Use a concealer two shades lighter than your natural skin tone to brighten the under-eye area and enhance overall radiance.
- Start with a peachy or orange-toned concealer that is slightly darker than your skin tone.
- Apply it directly on the dark circles and allow the skin to absorb it for a few moments.
- Then, apply a lighter concealer on top to blend and brighten the area.
- Use a green color-correcting concealer directly on the blemishes or areas of redness to neutralize them.
- Follow with a light concealer on top to even out the skin tone.
Skin Types and Suitable Concealers

For dry skin, it is best to use a concealer with a creamy or oil-based texture to provide extra hydration and prevent flaking.
