One of my favorite makeup items is the concealer. It is a necessary tool for creating the perfect canvas on which to apply color. It brings forward facial areas that otherwise recede into shadows, while covering up imperfections in the skin. The texture to look for in a concealer is one that is silky, blends easily, and is one shade lighter than your complexion. Apply in thin layers, padding with your ring finger as you build up to the right amount of coverage. I often use two to three thin coats on myself and my clients. Another great tip is to use concealer around the corners of the nose and the lip line. This evens out the skin so beautifully that whatever lipstick you wear will look true to its own color. If you’re worried about a concealer creeping into and accentuating fine lines in the skin, try a foundation that is two shades lighter than your natural skin tone. Again, use the padding and layering technique to build coverage.
