Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Concealer
• Concealer brush
• Wand
• Sponges

1. Wash your face and apply toner and a moisturizer. Allow it to be absorbed into the skin, so that when you apply the concealer it won't slick off. This is especially important for combination and oily skin types.

2. 
   Pencil

   Pick your application tool. If you want to go for accuracy and want to focus on small pimples you should use a concealer pencil.

3. 
   Liquid

   Liquid concealer can be brushed on or swiped with a wand. They work best for dry skin types, and applying to dark spots.

4. 
   Coverstick

   A concealer stick, also known as a coverstick is convenient, and gives you a less messy way to apply. In this creamy, matte version you can apply without the use of a brush, and blend it in with your fingers.

5. 
   Cream

   The concealer cream typically comes in a palette, or a compact. It can be applied by using a brush or a sponge. Its perfect for under eye circles and blemishes.

6. No matter what version of concealer you buy, the most important thing is that it works for your skin type. It should provide coverage and still disappear underneath your foundation.
