Concealer stick

The basis of perfect makeup is, above all, healthy and radiant skin. Unfortunately, not everyone can boast of an even complexion, and every girl periodically encounters inflammation that occurs for one reason or another. The modern beauty industry offers a large number of masking and corrective means.

Often the use of even the highest quality foundation is not enough to get the most natural result. To mask minor flaws, it is better to use more point means. This is where such a convenient invention as a facial concealer comes to the rescue. Not everyone knows about the benefits of using this product and that you can get a really amazing effect with it.

To achieve the best possible result and for ease of use, concealers are available in several forms.

Their main difference will be the texture and density of the product, the final result when it is applied depends on them.

• Concealer Pencil - This is a dry textured concealer.It should be used pointwise, salicylic acid, which is part of it, relieves inflammation and redness of the skin.
• Liquid in a tube It blends well, covering the skin with a thin layer, hiding pigmentation and dark circles under the eyes. Its delicate texture does not dry sensitive skin areas.
• Concealer stick has a more oily and dense texture. It is easy to apply and can hide even severe redness.
• Palette - this is an excellent option for modeling and contouring, which have recently gained more and more popularity in the beauty industry.

There is a common misconception that corrector and concealer are completely interchangeable products that have the same concealer properties. However, this is not the case. The corrector is a denser tool that can mask severe inflammation and acne. Thanks to salicylic acid, which is part of it, they relieve inflammation and, at the same time, have a strong drying effect, which can further lead to skin flaking. In this regard, this remedy can only be used on inflamed areas, but not on areas with increased pigmentation and not to mask bruises under the eyes. To correct these shortcomings, it is better to use a concealer, which, due to its composition, has a more gentle effect on the skin. It does not dry it out and that is why it can be used even on the delicate skin around the eyes. Most concealers have a moisturizing effect, which is especially true for sensitive areas.

Like any concealer, a concealer should be selected taking into account the color of the skin and the problem that it should hide. To mask circles under the eyes, more orange and orange-apricot colors are suitable, they even out the tone and blend well with foundation. Those who have a duller and grayer complexion should pay attention to beige shades, they will perfectly hide imperfections and refresh the complexion, making it healthier and more radiant. Girls with pale skin should avoid dark and saturated shades, pale pink and pale peach colors will do their job perfectly. It is also worth paying attention to the release form of the concealer: so dense sticks are more difficult to apply to the skin around the eyes, unlike more liquid products.

Since the skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, it should be treated with special attention and caution. Concealing dark circles is a very delicate action, since the concealer should not only even out the color, but also not emphasize expression lines. To achieve maximum fusion, colored concealers, peach and orange, should be applied under the foundation, and beige, on the contrary, on top of the tonal foundation. The tool should be applied in the form of a triangle, and not a semicircle, this method, when shading, will more effectively mask them. The borders should be well shaded, and after that apply foundation, which will completely hide the border of applying concealer.

According to those who use the concealer on an ongoing basis, this is an indispensable tool for masking minor imperfections. It can also be used to slightly change the shape of the nose, if you apply a small amount of concealer on the wings, and use a regular foundation on top.
