Makeup concealer, how is it used and where is it applied?
The dark circles concealer
The concealer should not be applied to the entire dark circle, only to the half that is glued to the nose. If you extend it to the other half, the dark circles will be visible and the wrinkles will be marked, something that you would not want to happen at all, right? You know one of the mistakes we’ve all made for a long time, so don’t fall for it again!
What if my dark circle is dark?
If you also have dark circles under your eyes, you should never cover them with white concealer. You have to do it with an orange or orange tone, depending on the color of your skin. The white color highlights the dark circles more, while the orange covers it and neutralizes its dark color. It is very simple!
How to apply concealer
The concealer has to be put on with soft touches so that it penetrates the skin, whether you do it with your fingers or with a sponge. What you should never do is drag it, because you will be taking all the makeup and the result will not be as perfect as you want.
How, when and where the illuminator is used
Where do you apply the highlighter?
Illuminator Serves to erase imperfections and wrinkles, and is used at the end of everything when you already have the rest of your makeup on. You must choose a light shade and put it only on the key points: rictus, dark circles (never in bags), above the upper lip line and on the expression line of the forehead that is attached to the eyebrow.
How should the illuminator be?
Fluid and matte illuminator are the two characteristics that you have to pay attention to when you go to get yours. The reason? They are the ones that fit best, the ones that give a much more perfect finish and the ones that will prevent the wrinkle from forming.
How to apply the highlighter
- As we have said with the dark circles concealer, the illuminator must be applied with soft touches so as not to drag. If you do it with your fingers you will have a more natural finish.
- Now to finish with your day-to-day makeup, all that remains is to apply then the cheekbone in the shape of a cross and a pinch on the forehead and on the nose. The same thing you should do if you opt for sun powder, don’t spread it all over your face!
