Concealers do wonders to any imperfection and discolouration in your face. It helps covers dark undereye, brighten up your eyes area, conceal redness and blemishes. It’s really a girl best friend. However it can also be your worst enemy if you don’t use and choose it correctly.
When choosing a concealer you need to know that there are two types of concealer. One that is heavy and gives full coverage which areused to conceal redness, blemishes and any skin imperfection on the face area. This type of concealer usually comes in cream formula either on pot, pan or stick.
The other one is the “lighter” version, more moisturizing one that can be used to cover your undereye dark circles. The formula is thinner and more lotion-like, usually comes in squeeze-tube or tube with wand applicator.
Disaster is what happens if you use one type of concealer for all. Heavy coverage concealer when used under your eyes area will crack easily and won’t blend nicely with the face base. Whereas the more moisturizing one if you use it to cover skin imperfection will not do the best job because the coverage is not high enough and it can easily slip off.
My favourite concealers are from Laura Mercier, it has both the perfect moisturizing and full coverage concealer.
