Without a doubt, concealers are great and we should all have them in our makeup kit. But how do you choose the right concealer color? The idea of the shades in the concealers is to neutralize the colorations of the skin by applying shades that contrast.
For example: green is opposite of red, which makes them complementary colors. In this sense, if you apply green corrector on any redness (it may be due to acne, scar, etc.), that redness is neutralized.
Concealers come in a variety of shades to suit the skin’s needs:
Green
To cover red areas of the skin, as well as pimples and some veins that can be very noticeable around the nose or cheek. With a good application, it can hide scars.
Blue
It is excellent for women whose skin tone is dark; helps to have a much more uniform tonality. In addition, it covers the orange stains that may appear as the effects of bronzers.
Orange
This works for dark circles that are bluish or gray, and it also helps disguise any dark spots or shadows. Covers the noticeable blue dinners on pale white women.
Yellow
It is ideal for dark circles that are just beginning to appear and have a purple or blue hue. If you haven’t slept well and you should look like new, use this type of concealer.
White
This concealer should be used in moderation, as it is the most noticeable of all, and it works to cover red areas and brighten your face. If you overdo it, you will get stains.
How to use them
Keep in mind that less is more. Start with just a little concealer. If you need more, add a little more. First, make sure your skin is moisturized and prepared before using it. Then apply the correct color correct for your skin color, you can apply it with your fingers or with a brush. For problem areas like acne scars, dark spots, and dark circles, use concealer only when needed.
How to Apply Concealers
Once you’ve applied the correct color, let it set for a few seconds before applying foundation and concealer. Clever! Perfect skin.
