Concealer Myth Busted!

Concealer always goes on before foundation. True or False?

FALSE!
The application of concealer depends the type of foundation your wearing.

If you're going to wear a powder foundation apply your concealer & color correctors first. Since powder is absorbent, use a concealer that is a shade lighter than your foundation. This will prevent the concealer from darkening when powder is applied. Polka dots are cute, but not on your face. Once you apply your correctors and concealer, with a powder brush, lightly dust on the powder foundation. This step will insure that the concealer is completely dry and provide a smooth even application of the powder foundation. This rule applies to mineral make-up powder too.

If you're a liquid kinda girl like I am, always apply your concealer after you apply your foundation. When a concealer is applied before a liquid (or creme), it will wipe away all concealing you just did. Causing time wasting touch ups. However, if you apply the liquid first and then the concealer, the concealer will blend well with the base, and your skin will look flawless! Choose a color that is slightly lighter than your foundation (not too light) & a formula that is similar in consistancy.

There is a variety of concealers out there to choose from. Once you find the right consistency and coverage that you're looking for, follow the guidelines above for flawless concealing. You'll have even, perfect looking skin, every time. Bye-bye imperfections!
