Consiler is one of the most powerful "weapons" of a woman in the struggle for beautiful make-up, because thanks to this remedy you can skillfully disguise any shortcomings: from acne to pigmented spots and bruises under the eyes. Because of the wrong way of life and bad ecology, 90% of women have dark circles around their eyes, and the concealer under the eyes is the only means that can conceal them unnoticed by others because of the light texture. At the same time, there is another concealer - a proofreader, and it is often confused with the concealer, although they differ not only in the field of application, but also in the density of the textures.
What is the difference between a concealer and a proofreader?
Why do I need a concealer:
- masking of dark circles under the eyes;
- clarification of fine wrinkles;
- darkening of face areas for sculpting;
- alignment of the face texture.
What is the corrector for:
- spot masking of pimples, scars;
- disguise circles under the eyes (in isolated cases, this is not an option for every day);
- lightening of pigmented spots.
Thus, the corrector is used in cases where the concealer does not cope with the task. It is more dense and can dry the skin: among cosmeticians there is an opinion that it should not be applied (in contrast to concealer) to tender areas. The corrector is a point-like way to eliminate imperfections, and the concealer can be applied to the whole face, because it has a light texture.
How to choose concealer?
The palette of concealer is rich not only with beige, but also with eccentric colors: yellow, green, purple, etc. To disguise the circles under the eyes and not get the make-up of the "panda", let's figure out for which cases this or that color is applied.
In coloring there is such a thing as mixing colors: for example, to get brown, you need to mix yellow and red. Thanks to this property of colors, we can neutralize the red, gray, brown and flaws on the face of other colors.
Beige concealers are designed to smooth out the texture of the skin: they are applied to the entire face if necessary.
Green concealer. Used to mask red spots: acne, scars, vascular network in the eye area. If such a color is applied to red, then the body will turn out, but if it falls on the usual skin color, it will be highlighted in green.
Yellow concealer. This color neutralizes blue-violet deficiencies, or, in other words, bruises. If in the morning you find dark circles under the eyes, then this tool will definitely help to hide them. Also the concealer is able to disguise veins.
Lilac concealer. This color neutralizes yellow, orange and brown spots: bruises, pigment spots, freckles, birth marks.
White concealer . It is necessary for lightening, and together with gray or dark brown it allows to make a sculptural make-up, when the cheekbones, chin and brow zone are highlighted, and the temporal and the area under the cheekbones darken. It can also be used to dilute other colors.
Thus, the best concealer for the eyes is a set of several colors that can come in handy at any time. However, there are some requirements for its texture - it should be easy (since it implies daily use), can have a mother of pearl or be glossy.
How to apply concealer correctly?
- It is best to choose color consylers in the set, and for use to allocate
a special flat brush with a hard pile. But beige or white with a mother of pearl are convenient in a sticker with a brush, designed for large areas of application. - The direction of movement of the brush should be from the top down, if it left too dense layer, it must be removed by another, clean brush or finger.
- Correction of defects occurs before the application of powder or foundation.
And yet, the main rule in using concealer is accuracy and attention when applying, as well as good lighting, because the bruises under the eyes are nothing, compared to the purple or green spots on the face.
