Concealer Nyx
Creating the perfect tone is a real job for a modern girl, and concealer is indispensable here. Concealer is a tonal tool with a dense texture, which is applied pointwise to imperfect areas of the skin - pimples, minor redness and age spots. It differs from the corrector in that it has a flesh tone and is not able to even out its tone, while the corrector can have a greenish pigment in its composition and turn reddish skin into natural beige.
So, one of the most popular, affordable and high-quality products can be called Nyx concealer, presented in two formulas - liquid and solid with a wide range of shades.

Not every girl knows how to choose, use and apply the product on the skin, and right now we will share tips from experts:
- The shade of the concealer should be 1-2 tones lighter than the natural skin tone in order to cover imperfections as much as possible;
- The liquid texture is ideal for dry and sensitive skin and has a translucent formula. It does not dry out the skin and is easily distributed over it, but it is not able to mask pimples well;
- The solid creamy formula perfectly masks inflammation, because it has a rich pigment and a dense coating, but it is no longer suitable for masking dark circles under the eyes;
- Before using the concealer, be sure to use a moisturizer or makeup base - this will allow the masking pencil or cream to lie evenly and remain on the skin “till victorious”;
- If using a concealer for the eye area, choose a liquid texture and be sure to use an additional cream treatment for the delicate area - this will ensure even coverage and protect the skin from overdrying.
How to apply?
- The tool is applied pointwise exclusively to the area that needs to be corrected - the wings of the nose, the area around the eyes, pimples or age spots;
- You can apply it with a special brush or fingers, depending on your own preferences;
- The concealer is applied before the tonal coverage, it is possible to slightly correct the areas after, if the redness could not be neutralized the first time;

Reviews
Nyx concealers are highly rated on the web as a whole. The liquid version is especially popular. Nyx HD Photogenic and its unusual shades - blue, lilac and orange, which neutralize the "wrong" skin tones. Girls note its convenient packaging (like lip gloss) and a small sponge for application, minimal consumption and durability. Among the shortcomings is a rather liquid and transparent texture, which is ideal for correcting dark circles under the eyes, but not pimples.
A product for the correction of the eye area has a lower rating Nyx Concealer in a Jar - it is excellently shaded and has good durability, but it does not completely eliminate circles, and sometimes it emphasizes them and creates a “mask” effect.
