What is concealer
This is the kind of tonal facility for pointcorrection of skin imperfections, is mainly used for the zone under the eyes. The concealer provides a fairly dense opaque coating that adapts to the tone of the face.
Often concealer has in the composition caringcomponents - they moisturize the skin, give it elasticity, fight wrinkles or pigment spots. Such funds occupy a niche between decorative and cosmetics cosmetics.
Also feature consiclers is their easyand a delicate texture. Usually it is liquid or creamy, despite the greater density of the tonal product, this product is softer. This is necessary for an easier distribution on the thin skin under the eyes and less stretching during the shading of the product.
How to choose
To choose the best concealer, pay attentionon the type of your skin, its problems and, not least, on its tone. It is believed that the concealer should be one or two shades lighter than the skin and the primary tonal remedy, but in practice this can sometimes lead to excessive lightening of the zone under the eyes. Take the product only one-half light - this will be enough for accurate highlighting of the eye zone. Also always do swatches (test product smears) before application. But it's a mistake to try a concealer on your wrist. The skin on this part of the hand, though light, but different in tone from the skin of the face. As makeup artists say, the ideal color of the concealer should be exactly the same as that of the skin in the region of the podbrovnoy arc.
Also there is an opinion that concealer should haveyellowish tone to effectively mask the bruises. However, an excessive amount of yellow pigment can have the opposite effect, making the skin under the eyes greenish. Therefore, the best concealer from bruises will have more pink and peach pigments, but necessarily cool shades. If you just want to highlight the eyes, giving them a shine, choose sand and beige shades, perhaps golden, especially if your skin is thin with a pinkish tinge.
As already noted, not only the skin tone is important,but also its type. Proceeding from this and choose concealer. Which is better for sensitive skin? Hypoallergenic. And for dry it is better to choose creamy with moisturizing characteristics. Oily skin may not allow the concealer to lie flat, so always use a makeup base.
If you have wrinkles, then choosespecial concealer for age skin. It is denser and fills wrinkles, making the area under the eyes more even. Lighter concealers can clog the skin folds and highlight its imperfections more. Also for withering skin, the best concealer is with haylayterom, that is, with reflective particles. But it is important not to overdo it and add a delicate glow to the person.

Obsolete technology recommends applying the productpoint, but this can lead to the effect of pandas on the contrary - the zone under the eyes will be contrasted with light. It is better to apply concealer with wide strokes with a triangle from the lower eyelid to the cheek. Use a ring finger or a special brush to spread the brush strokes. Especially carefully work out the inner corner of the eye - here the blue is most concentrated and gives off fatigue.
