July 17, 2021 by Haley Leave a Comment

One of the main jobs of makeup is covering up blemishes. If your skin is too red, or your eyes are too dark, or your pimples and age spots are distracting, you can erase the problem area with some strategically placed concealer. Seriously, concealer is your best friend. So here are some makeup concealer tips to make sure you are getting the most out of your makeup routine!

17 Makeup Concealer Tips and Tricks that are Amazing

5. If you’re worried that a large triangle under your eye is too much concealer, xoVain suggests applying just a few strategically placed dots of concealer under your eye.

6. Covergirl suggests picking a concealer tone just barely lighter than your skin. This will help you look fresh and bright–just make sure it’s not too light!

7. After you’ve finished applying concealer, Beautylish recommends letting it sit for about 20 minutes. It may change colors as it oxidizes.

9. Career Girl Daily recommends patting on your concealer rather than smearing it. Patting will get the product in the places you want it. Smearing will remove the product.

10. Covergirl recommends that you apply stay-put mascara and eyeshadow after your concealer. The last thing you want is dark flecks accentuating the circles under your eyes!

13. When covering rosacea, Covergirl recommends first applying primer, then a moisturizer with spf, then a concealer only on the red areas. Make sure you use a circular motion.

15. Cosmopolitan suggests lining your eyes with a light concealer in three main areas: the inner v, beneath the brow, and the center of the eyelid. You’re eyes will look brighter and more awake.

Makeup Concealer Tips

16. If your under-eye concealer looks a bit too heavy or thick, Covergirl recommends combing it with an eye cream for a nicer finish.
