Identify Target Areas
- Determine the areas on your face that require concealer.
- Common areas include under-eye circles, blemishes, redness, and any spots where you want to add highlights.
- These are prime areas for concealer application if you have noticeable dark circles under your eyes or acne spots.
Prep the Skin
- Before applying concealer, ensure that the skin is clean and moisturized, and that you've already applied foundation.
- This sequence helps the concealer blend seamlessly with your foundation.
- You've cleansed, moisturized, and applied your foundation.
- Your canvas is ready for concealer application.
Application Techniques
Under-Eye Circles
- Apply concealer in an upside-down triangle under each eye, with the triangle's base along your lower lash line and the tip pointing toward your cheek.
- This shape brightens your eyes and conceals dark circles.
- Imagine drawing two upside-down triangles under your eyes, extending from the inner corners to the outer corners.
Blemishes
- Dab a small amount of concealer directly onto the blemish.
- For example, If you have a pimple, lightly tap concealer onto it.
Redness and Highlights:
- Apply concealer to areas with redness or where you want to create highlights, such as the bridge of the nose, the center of the forehead, and the chin.
- If you want to emphasize the bridge of your nose, draw a straight line of concealer down the center of your nose.
Blending
Under-Eye Concealer
- Gently blend the concealer under your eyes using a makeup sponge or a clean fingertip.
- Pat the concealer until it seamlessly melds with your foundation.
- Imagine softly tapping the concealer with a sponge until it becomes one with your skin.
Blemishes and Redness
- For blemishes, use a small brush or your fingertip to blend the concealer into the surrounding skin.
- Ensure seamless integration.
- Pretend you're an artist, gently merging the edges of the concealer with the surrounding skin.
Set with Powder
- To prevent creasing and ensure long-lasting coverage, lightly dust translucent setting powder over the areas where you applied concealer.
- Use a makeup brush for precision.
- Imagine a gentle sweep of setting powder over your under-eye concealer to keep it in place all day.
Remember, concealer aims to enhance your features, hide imperfections, and create a flawless canvas for the rest of your Drag Performer makeup. Practice and experimentation will help you master this essential step in your beauty routine.
