How to Choose the Perfect Concealer for You!

Wave goodbye to those unsightly blemishes and say hello to radiant and flawless skin as popPRETTY shows you how to choose the right concealer that is simply perfect for your own skin tone.

1. Determine your skin tone – Figuring out the shade of your skin tone is a very important step to finding the right concealer.  A simple way to know your skin tone is by checking the color of the veins on your arm. Plenty of blue veins means cool tones, while green veins signal warm tones.

2. Find your skin type – There are three common skin types: dry, combination, and oily. Knowing which skin type you have will help you pick the right type of concealer that is perfect for your skin.

3. Know your skin shade – You also need to know what shade your skin is. Be sure to find a shade that isn’t too dark or too light for you. The perfect shade can be found when you apply a swatch of product on your jaw area nearest the neck. If the concealer blends perfectly with the skin color of your neck, you’ve definitely got a winner!

 

Yes, a concealer can get you perfect looking skin when applied the right way!

Also note that when looking for a concealer, it should be about the same or slightly lighter than your own skin shade. This helps in brightening areas and disguising annoying spots.

There are three main types of concealer - cream, stick, and powder. This is where your skin tone, type, and shade come in.

Pro Longwear Concealer by MAC

• Cream  This concealer is good for dry and combination skin types. However, putting this on the under-eye area might be a bit tricky as they tend to cake or get into fine lines.
• Stick  Stick concealers give light coverage depending on how thick you lay it on your skin. They are perfect for brightening up the under eye area and evening out your skin tone but not the best choice for overall coverage. Most skin types can use stick concealers.
• Powder/Mineral  Powder concealers which usually are available in mineral makeup brands are perfect for those with oily skin as it lessens shine on your face. However, coverage also depends on how much you apply since blemishes require more amount of powder concealer to cover them up than other concealer types.

So what if you weren't born with perfect skin? A concealer can be your best makeup friend!

Concealers are essential for women who need to hide spots or to brighten dark under eye area. 

You can even skip the foundation on a daily basis when you know how to put on concealer properly and still obtain a flawless look. When used properly, this magic beauty product can give that airy, flawless look to die for!
