How to Apply Concealer For Film & Television

Video Transcript

"So I have a lot of different choices for concealers. I like to keep these pallets in my kit. They are easy to carry, and many choices for corrections. I'm going to take a look at her skin and see which I'd like to use. She's very pink and warm, but she has a little bit of blue in here, so I'm going to stick with something, and I'm going to mix this color with a little bit of yellow to counteract that blue under her skin. Using my pallet knife, I'm going to pull a little bit out. You don't need a whole lot, and I'm going to put it on to my pallet. I'm going to take out a little bit of yellow too so that if I need any corrections I can always do that. Okay, so I have a couple of concealers on my pallet and a nice clean sponge. I always cut my sponges in half because you don't waste as much, they're easier to work with, and they get in those small spaces. So I get a little bit of concealer and make sure it's not on too heavy. Sometimes I'll mix it on my hand to thin it out, as long as my hands clean, and I'll go in and start applying under her eyes. Okay, so using light brush strokes I apply my concealer just to where you need it. I'm using a brush right now, but I'll also use my fingers...finger, sponge, q-tip, whatever it takes to get it on, and to get it on properly depending on how heavy you need to apply. "
