Green concealer

Ideal appearance is the criterion that every girl aspires to. Unfortunately, all over the world you can not find a person who would have completely perfect skin. Today, manufacturers of various cosmetic products are trying in every way to make life easier for the fair sex, releasing regular products that can be used to mask flaws in the skin. Concealers, highlighters, concealers - all these products are designed to mask defects in the skin of the face.

It has become customary that such products usually have a neutral range of shades, which is as close as possible to natural tones. However, what was the surprise, noticing on the shelves in stores the concealer is not the usual beige, but green. Why such a seemingly unusual cosmetic product is needed, how to use it correctly, how to choose - we will try to figure it out.

From English, the word "conceal" literally translates as "hide", "mask". Accordingly, a concealer is a cosmetic product, the main functional purpose of which is to hide various flaws on the skin of the face. So, according to the recommendations of experts, concealer can be used to cover up:

• various redness and rashes (acne);
• a network of capillaries located close to the upper layer of the epidermis;
• freckles and age spots;
• abrasions;
• small wrinkles and crow's feet near the eyes;
• uneven tan;
• insect bite marks;
• "Bruises" and "bags" under the eyes.

Many girls are worried about the color of the concealer, so they try to bypass it, or replace it and choose the best option, in their opinion, for example, pink, purple, but this action, as a rule, does not bring a positive result. Let's remember what the spectral color wheel looks like. Opposite the red color is green, and this suggests that shades of green can neutralize the red tone. Accordingly, if there is some redness on the face, then it is easily removed with the help of a green concealer. Today, manufacturers of modern cosmetics produce concealers in different shades: rich green, mint, olive, marsh and others. Such a color scheme was developed for a reason, but in accordance with the color types of the appearance of the fair sex.

Any cosmetic product needs to be able to use. Here's what makeup stylists have to say about How to use the concealer correctly:

• when choosing a concealer, be sure to consider the type of skin (for example, for oily skin it is better to give preference to a product with a matting effect, but for a dry type you will need a product with additional moisture);
• for problematic and rash-prone skin, antibacterial concealers have been created that not only mask pimples, but also dry them out (it is recommended to pre-cleanse the skin with scrubs);
• concealer is applied exclusively to problem areas, it is not used as a base for makeup;
• blend the product with warm fingers, under the influence of the heat of the hands, the product lies evenly and inconspicuously.

It is impossible to make concealer at home, so experts do not recommend experimenting with your own skin.

When applying concealer, you must adhere to a number of recommendations, so as not to be disappointed with the result later. So, Steps to apply concealer on face:

1. First you need to thoroughly cleanse the skin of the face. The next step is to apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream, you can also use a base / makeup base. The concealer is much easier to apply on well-moisturized skin. If you have small mimic wrinkles, first use a cream with a tonic effect. If you neglect this advice, then the effect of applying the concealer will be completely opposite - wrinkles will be more noticeable.
2. Using a special brush, dot or stroke-like apply a small amount of the product to problem areas.
3. Lightly tap with your fingertips to blend the concealer around redness areas.
4. The final stage is the application of foundation or powder. Never do the opposite. If you first use a foundation, over which you apply a concealer, then the whole face will be covered with spots of a greenish tint.
