None of us are perfect. But the pursuit of the ideal of beauty is the main idea that does not leave female heads for many centuries. And the more science steps, the more various skin care cosmetics appear.
We hide small imperfections
Everyone has long known that facial skin looks more beautiful when it is clean and healthy. But there are situations when no care can prevent unpleasant manifestations on the face.
This happens when in the spring a whole bunch of freckles suddenly spills out that you don’t really want to show to others. It is especially unpleasant if it is not small light spots, but whole large spots that are completely inappropriate on a beautiful, well-groomed face. Or when one or several unpleasant pimples appear. Or if in youth there were big skin problems, after which not very beautiful scars remained.
Means for the correction of facial imperfections
The main assistants to girls in the fight against imperfections in the skin of the face are tonal creams, powders, concealers and correctors. What are the differences and how to apply? Let's figure it out.
It is worth mentioning that any of the above funds must be selected individually, for the type of each skin.
Stages of applying makeup
The first step in applying makeup is to mask various imperfections. Everyone knows that the main tool in this, of course, is concealer. Only a few know how to apply it correctly.
To begin with, we mask imperfections with the help of a concealer. A greenish tint - redness, light - dark circles under the eyes.
After uniform application of the product, apply a tonal base. Then comes a layer of powder suitable for the tonal base, and blush.
What can concealer
To mask various kinds of redness, it is best to use a greenish shade. It is this color that best conceals redness.
To mask dark circles under the eyes, it is best to use a concealer one tone lighter than the color of the tonal base. This is true in the cold season, when the skin becomes pale.
But in the summer it is better to do a little differently. For tanned skin, you need to choose an appropriate, darker foundation and the same color concealer. This is done in order not to get the effect of white glasses under the eyes.
Where to apply the concealer, figured out, now you need to understand how to do it right. Proper application is very important so that you do not get uneven, rolled-up makeup. Such a careless approach can not only not get rid of skin imperfections, but also exacerbate the situation.
Correct application
To mask small imperfections, we use a concealer. How to apply it - science is not tricky, but very necessary. If you apply it too thick, even after covering the tonal base tubercles will protrude strongly.
The tool may be in the form of a pencil or liquid. Pencils are universal: on the one hand a greenish tint, and on the other - light. It is easier to use a pencil in the sense that it dries longer and you can calmly manage to distribute it on the masked area.
The liquid concealer dries faster, but also lies smoother. The main thing is to have time to carefully blend it.
It is necessary to shade the product as carefully as possible, while doing this not by rubbing movements, but by neat pats. This is done in order to not get lumps.
Choose a tool
All cosmetics stores have special probes that show the entire color palette of each product. There is also a special concealer palette. How to apply a probe? When choosing any face mask, usually use the wrist or the outside of the palm of the hand. In the face of such things you should not choose.
Now we will figure out how to properly apply the concealer under the eyes.
We remove dark circles and age spots
In order to make the eyes fresher and remove the circles under them, a concealer is applied to the crease under the eyes. How to apply it correctly has been described previously. It is important that the layer does not turn out too thick. We give it a little dry, after which, if the skin is light, use a light shade and carefully blend it on the area under the eyes. If the skin is tanned, you can use a darker shade or do without it, immediately applying a tonal foundation.
Be sure to use concealer if you don’t want to apply a tone on top, you need to use powder. Through the powder, the skin of the face will breathe well and when it is used, the transitions from applying the product will hide.
Age spots are best masked with a tool of the same shade as the base, evenly blending it and allowing it to dry out a little.
This tool is often used to correct the shape of the nose. In order to make the nose thinner and more elegant, you need to use a dark shade concealer. How to apply it correctly? Two lines are drawn along the nose. If you want to make the wings or protruding lower part more invisible, a dark tone is also carefully applied there. Then you need to apply a tonal foundation.
Concealer can also be used to give the face a radiance. To do this, apply a light shade of the product on the middle part of the face: the area between the eyebrows, the front of the nose, and a dimple under the nose.
In addition, applying a light shade to the dimple under the nose makes the lips more voluminous, and therefore more effective.
