What Is Concealer Used for?

Concealer is used to hide blemishes and to even out skin tone.

Concealer is a popular type of makeup used to even out skin tones and hide blemishes and unsightly marks. Concealer is simple to use and comes in many colors to suit virtually any skin tone.

Hiding Under-Eye Darkness

Using the ring finger, a brush or a wedge sponge, apply concealer beginning under the inner corner of the eye and moving outward, covering the entire under-eye area. This will reduce the appearance of under-eye darkness. Liquid concealer works better than solid for this purpose.

Concealing Blemishes

Concealer hides blemishes best when it is a yellow or neutral color. If foundation is being used as well, the concealer should match it. Concealer is applied directly to the blemish and works best when set with powder. Solid concealer works better than liquid in this case.

Other Concerns

Concealer may be used to reduce the appearance of broken capillaries, birthmarks and freckles. The use of a small brush assists in precision and applying loose powder will help the effect to last longer.
