How to apply concealer and foundation with beauty blender:

The concealer's job is to hide things we don't want others to see. 

But what do you want to hide? 

Where you have it on your face will determine what type of concealer you use and how you apply it. That's exactly what we're going to explore now!

To begin with, we need to choose the right concealer. Choose one that is up to 2 shades lighter. but no more than 2 shades lighter than your current skin tone, and also yellow-based. Notice we said current skin tone... if your skin tone changes (you've been on vacation and got a tan). you'll need to get another concealer that's up to 2 shades lighter than your tan. tone. If you go too light with the concealer, you can end up looking like you're wearing Halloween makeup.

If you're looking for general coverage and don't have any specific areas you want to conceal. start by adding a few dots to the inner corner of your eyes and under your eyes near your lower lashes. Pat in the concealer and blend well. Tapping is always better than rubbing.  Wherever you want to place it. Do it and start with a "less is more" approach. You can always apply another layer if needed... we've all seen the cakey effect that can happen when concealer to apply too. Then take a light and fluffy brush and apply a light dusting of loose powder to help set your look.

Now, if you have specific areas you'd like to cover, we'll give some tips on how to manage them. We've listed some of the more common problems and given very simple ones. and concise (yet effective). application methods that will make your concealer work much better.

Dark circles: Do not use a regular concealer to cover them. There are concealers designed for this reason. Or, you can try a highlighting cream to create a more awake and bright eye.

Blemishes/pimples: For this, a good starting point is to apply. a liquid dressing to the area for a little extra protection. then apply layers of concealer. Don't apply too or you'll draw more attention to the area (something you want to avoid). and then apply a translucent powder.

Scars: If you have acne scars on your face. then hiding them requires very specific application techniques.  Fill in the center of the scar, but be careful not to go beyond the edges. After this, dust the skin with translucent powder. For hypertrophic or raised scars, we recommend using a corrector of the same shade as your skin. and applying it by tapping the corrector onto the scar. This should follow by a setting powder.

Redness around the nose: If you want to hide any redness around the nose. it's important to remember that it often happens. that the make-up from this area will come off faster due to oiliness. For this reason, it is important to use an oil-absorbing hardener. and apply it after applying concealer. If you have dry skin here in the winter, don't forget to hydrate it.
