We at Rapide know all about how color can affect the overall impression of the face, which is also why we are so passionate about products and styling, and one of our favorite products to use is definitely concealer! It covers redness and soothes after threading, but above all, it takes brow styling to completely new levels. Here we go over how you can use just concealer to enhance your entire look.
What does a concealer do?
A concealer is intended to cover smaller areas of the face such as pimples and unevenness, but also to brighten and sculpt areas that can otherwise be perceived as flat. Many of us swear by using concealer under the eyes to immediately get that lively and fresh impression when the dark winter months start to take their toll. Concealer is simply an amazing multi-product that everyone should have in their kit!
How should I place my concealer?
A golden rule when using concealer is to use darker tones for areas you want to tone down and lighter tones for areas you want to highlight.
Covering concealer: Be sure to use a concealer that is as close to your own skin tone as possible when covering pimples, blemishes or redness to draw focus away from the area. A concealer that is too light on a raised pimple, for example, can draw even more attention to the area.
Brightening concealer: You should place a light concealer on the highest points of the face in a shade that is slightly lighter than your own skin tone. Start from the places where the sun normally hits; forehead, brow bone, bridge of nose, corner of eye and chin. Under the eyes is also an area that many people want to lighten up to get a awake impression and cover dark circles. If you have very dark circles, it may be a good idea to apply a color correcting concealer first, where blue tones can be easily corrected with a pink/orange colored concealer. Then you make sure to both cover and brighten the area without drawing unnecessary attention to the rings!
How do I use my concealer?
Include your concealer in several steps in connection with your make-up. You can advantageously cover pimples and other unevenness before adding other products. Then the concealer can melt into the skin and you get a seamless result if, for example , you choose to put a foundation on top. Then place the concealer under the eyes, on the forehead, brow bone, bridge of the nose and chin. Blend the concealer with our Duo Brush for seamless coverage.
