1 / 11 Concealer is a precious tool, as it hides all the blemishes and dark circles from our faces. It works amazingly and is our saviour. But sometimes, we don't use it quite right. Here are 10 easy mistakes to avoid so your concealer looks its best.
2 / 11 Wrong shade. If it's too light, it can look chalky. And if it's too dark, it won't hide anything.
3 / 11 Too much. Too much can look cakey, so avoid it.
4 / 11 Applying it everywhere. You only need it where you have discolouration.
5 / 11 Not prepping. Dry skin can make concealer look patchy, so moisturise it very well.
6 / 11 Forgetting to set it. Concealer can crease without powder, so set it out nicely.
7 / 11 Wrong tools. Your fingers, a sponge, or a brush can all work, but choose one that blends well.
8 / 11 Applying it after powder. Always put on liquid or cream concealer before powder products.
9 / 11 Ignoring your undertones. Concealer comes in warm, cool, and neutral tones. Pick one that matches your skin.
10 / 11 Using old concealer. Makeup expires! Old concealer can be thick and dry and not work well.
11 / 11 Trying to cover everything with just concealer. Sometimes, you need a colour corrector first for dark circles.
