Applying Concealer

Video Transcript

"Concealer is also a very important part of your foundation look, especially if you don't want to use foundation you can just use concealer. She's got really nice skin on her cheeks and on her nose so I don't really need to use a heavy foundation. So I'm just going to use concealer in parts. In specific spots that need the coverage, and so that's going to make your skin look fresh and natural and so you don't look like you have too much foundation on. I'll just start under the eyes and I'm just going to put a little bit at a time under the eyes just to kind of smooth the under eye area. Most people need a little bit of help under the eyes. No one's skin is completely perfect and flawless so you always need just a teeny, tiny bit of something and I'm literally using a tiny, less than dime-size amount and that's probably going to be even too much. I'm also going to cover up a little bit of imperfection she has on her forehead which takes no time at all, just a little teeny, tiny bit and then a little bit around the nose because it tends to get a little red. The blood vessels around the nose stand out a little bit more, and a little bit on the chin and just tiny, tiny little spots at a time just covering what needs to be covered. So I don't have to put foundation everywhere that doesn't need it. And a little bit at a time you want to just add and add and add, and then once you've covered your desired areas you just want to go right on top of it with a pressed powder. The nice fluffy brush and a pressed powder just to set the concealer, to control the oil, to just smooth out the skin. Powder is really, really important if you're oily. It really helps control the oil. It just smooths out the skin. You don't want to put too much powder around the eye areas because it tends to set into the lines, but just set and smooth the skin and to set the liquid foundation powder is always good to have, and its always good to carry with you as well.
