Keeping current with fashion trends require a style that is sharp and pulled together. Sometimes makeup doesn't always cover facial flaws or problem areas. Dark spots, age spots and blemishes can be problematic. It may be necessary to apply concealer as part of any makeup routine in order to get the best results.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Facial cleansing soap
  • Concealer
  • Makeup foundation
  • Water
  1. Step 1

    Cleanse the face thoroughly with a high-quality facial cleansing soap. Starting with clean skin will allow any concealer and makeup to properly and evenly apply to your face. Use a cleanser that is suited to your skin type in normal, oily or combinations skin.

  2. Step 2

    Decide the color of concealer that you need for your skin tone. Concealer usually comes in three shades of fair, medium or dark. To find your color, apply concealer to the inside of your arm or wrist to closely match the color as closely as possible to your skin tone. Many high-quality fashion concealers can be found at major department stores.

  3. Step 3

    Use the ring finger of either hand to place a small amount of concealer to your face. Dot the concealer lightly around the eyes with the ring finger. Be careful to not pull or tug on the eye. Tugging or pulling can eventually cause skin to sag or age prematurely.

  4. Step 4

    Apply a light covering of makeup foundation to the skin to blend in with the concealer. You can also use a little water blended in with the makeup to also help the concealer to set. When a concealer sets, it is less likely to smudge or bleed into your face makeup.

  5. Step 5

    Cleanse your face thoroughly again when removing the concealer and face makeup. Pay careful attention to the skin area around the eyes again to avoid tugging or pulling. Apply a quality moisturizing foundation to your face and especially to any dry or problem areas.

  6. Step 6

    Keep your makeup facial image in fashion by using a concealer each time you apply your makeup for a flawless look and use the best quality products on your skin.
