what does concealer do

Concealer is a makeup product used to cover or blur specific spots on the skin, like dark circles, blemishes, redness, acne scars, and other discoloration. It usually has more coverage and a thicker texture than foundation, so it works best in small, targeted areas.

What it does

• Covers under-eye shadows to make you look more awake.

• Hides blemishes, spots, and acne scars.

• Evens out redness or uneven skin tone.

• Can also brighten or highlight areas of the face, like the under-eyes or cheekbones.

How people use it

Most people apply concealer after foundation for extra coverage, but it can also be used on bare skin if blended well. A small amount is usually enough, because too much can look heavy or cakey.

Shade tips

• Match your skin tone to cover spots and blemishes.

• Use one to two shades lighter to brighten under the eyes.

• Green-toned concealer can help neutralize redness.

Concealer is basically a spot-corrector: it helps your skin look more even without covering your whole face.
