Things You'll Need:
- Thick concealer in a pot (same shade as your skin)
- Lighter concealer in a shade lighter and even with a hint of pink for dark under eye circles.
- Foundation
- Powder
- Q-tip
- Stiff tip small face brush
-
Step 1
The first thing to do is start with a clean well moisturize skin. This will guarantee your makeup will blend well and stay put. Put a light layer of foundation. You would want to put foundation on first since placing it after the concealer can undo all the covering up you have done. The only exception is if you use mineral makeup use it after the concealer.
-
Step 2
Take the thicker concealer a good one is Laura Mercier (since it comes in 2 colors for perfect match) and Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette. Take the stiff small face brush and scoop up some concealer. If it comes in 2-3 shades put them on the palm of your hand and mix them together. This will not only mix the colors but warm up the concealer to make application easer.

Step 3
Slowly place the concealer on acne, acne scars, hyper pigmentation, and any other imperfections you may have. Then with your finger lightly blend out the concealer with the rest of your skin. Instead of a stiff brush you can also use a q-tip.

Step 4
Now lets cover up dark spots. When choosing a concealer for under eye dark circles choose a creamy formula that is moisturize as well. Since skin around eyes is sensitive and may have some wrinkles you do not want anything drying that may extenuate wrinkles on your face. The concealer should also me a shade lighter and with a touch of pink in it this will wake up your eyes instantly.

Step 5
With your ring finger place some concealer under your eye and tap it lightly until it blends in. Make sure you also place some concealer on the inner and outer corner of your eye. Makes them instantly brighter.
-
Step 6
You are done with concealer. Now go ahead and do a light dusting of powder and you are done.
