Concealing Blemishes With Powder Makeup

Video Transcript

" Hi! I am Yvette Parrish, thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to cover those pesky little acne marks, freckles or any blemishes you want to cover with the use of concealer or foundation. I am taking a little bit of the concealer and putting it on her eyelid, because she her orbit is a little bit discolored. And it could be because lack of water, lack of sleep or hereditary, you know working late hours, just being tired, being sick. Sometimes having an eye strain if you have a lot of eye trouble you have a lot of darkness in this corner. So there is a lot of reasons why somebody is dark under there, it is not always because they are tired, a lot of it is hereditary. So what I am doing is I am just going to cover a little bit…. So what I want to do to give her an extra little boost under here, and this is a good trick. I have used this on the set of Miss. Congeniality, I have used this trick on several different music videos that I have done makeup on. When you have a little bit of a dark circle like that, what we can do is we are going to take a lighter powder like so, and I am taking the same sponge that we had used to apply it, and you will notice that it is shaped triangular. I am going to take this flat part of the sponge, and I am going to dip it in the loose powder like so…. And now I am going to press this edge right here, and this is going to give her eye area a little extra highlight, and it looks funny right now. This is when I say, all right thank you very much you can leave now, I make a little joke this is the time to do it, and I am going to leave it like that, and I am just going to let that set a little bit.
