Concealer

One magic weapon no makeup collection can do without is concealer. Similar to foundation, concealer is incredibly versatile—it hides dark circles and age spots, conceals blemishes, blurs fine lines, highlights your cheekbones and even contours. When used correctly, concealer can totally transform your look.  

**Revealing All You Need to Know About Concealer **

A high-quality concealer should be smooth, light and provide the right amount of coverage. Want a smooth, blemish-free look? Opt for a full-coverage concealer. If you prefer a more natural look, use a sheer to medium concealer.   

Types of Concealers

A makeup concealer comes in several forms. Liquid concealers are long-lasting and look very natural, especially on dry skin. Cream concealers typically come in a pot and are thick enough to cover dark circles, acne and hyperpigmentation. Stick concealers are good for dark spots and those little blemishes, and can be used on the go. Concealer pens, meanwhile, have a precise tip, which is great to use under the eye, for highlighting the brow bone or lightening cheekbones.  

Concealers for Different Skin Types

Is your skin oily, dry, sensitive or a combination? By identifying your skin type, you have a better chance of finding the right concealer to suit your needs. A matte or oil-free concealer is ideal for oily skin, while dry skin can greatly benefit from liquid and cream concealers to help nourish and moisturise.  

Skin tone also matters. This can be split into four categories: light, fair, medium and dark, though there can be variations in between. Have at least two concealers in your makeup collection – one light and one dark – as your skin tone can shift through the seasons. On top of this, knowing your skin undertones can help you choose the right concealer. These tones can be warm, cool and neutral, and are easiest to know by testing concealers on the skin just above your wrist.   

Concealers for Different Skin Concerns

Have dry under eyes or dark circles? Some concealers can hydrate the skin and even reduce the appearance of fine lines.  

Skin feeling tired and dull? A colour correction concealer can inject new life by masking discoloration and balancing out uneven skin. A purple colour corrector can help neutralise yellow tones, while a green colour corrector can assist in offsetting redness.
