Picking the Perfect Concealer
January 27th 2009 03:29
In that bathroom beauty basket, the colors and products will often vary, but one product can always be found, the concealer. There are a few tricks to purchasing just the right concealer for your beauty needs and these are far more advanced than choosing the right product line name.
The Concealer Shade
Most skin blemishes will appear darker than the skin tone. If the concealer matches the skin tone exactly, there is a chance the blemish will not be completely covered. Instead of choosing a concealer that perfectly matches your skin coloring, choose one that is a shade lighter and the blemish will blend right in with the rest of the skin on the face.
The Difference Between Concealer and Foundation
Concealer is used to hide blemishes and color differentiation on the face before the foundation is applied. The foundation is a thicker version of the concealer and should match the skin tone exactly in order to prevent that "ring around the face" look. Concealer for the eyes is generally a bit more creamy than concealer for the face.
Buying the Best or the Worst Concealer
The beauty market is hot today and concealers will range in price with the brand name and ingredient list. Any person who chooses a concealer can benefit from choosing the one that is not on the cheapest rack. But, rest assured, the most expensive concealer will not necessarily work better. The key is to choose trial sizes whenever possible until you find a concealer that works best with your other makeup products and your beauty budget.
