Concealer MAC
Unfortunately, most of the fair sex always have flaws on their faces, but at the same time, every woman wants to be attractive. To hide certain flaws on the skin of the face, dark circles under the eyes, redness, age spots, acne and much more, women use special products called correctors or concealers. Some of the best are products from the professional MAC brand. About there, how to use them correctly and how to choose the right option, we will tell further.
What it is?
Concealer is, in fact, the same corrector for the face. It is used for point correction of certain shortcomings. Most often, the concealer has a dense texture, so you can mask anything you want, even moles.
Just like foundation, concealers have a fairly large palette of shades, from the lightest to the darkest shades.
This tool is considered more effective than any other means, since most often foundation creams can show through age spots or redness, but a pre-applied concealer can easily help you get the perfect face tone.
It is very important not to be confused that correctors and concealers are not meant to be used as a full face foundation, since they need to correct some specific areas, and use the foundation after to complete the creation of a flawless and even complexion.
Many people wonder what is the difference between a concealer and a corrector. Both of these products are designed to correct imperfections on the face, but nevertheless, correctors are considered to have a lighter texture and an extensive selection of shades that are aimed at correcting a wide variety of skin problems. But in reality there is no significant difference, the description of these products is almost the same.
