Maximum Coverage Concealers- Hints & Tips to Get That Flawless Complexion
Concealing is a must for achieving flawless beauty! We all have skin imperfections but when concealed correctly no one would be able to tell. Once you master the art of concealing, it will give you an even complexion to create the look you want.
Concealing is the art of covering dark spots, freckles, sun damage or any other color imperfections on the skin surface. The color of the concealer should be one or two shades lighter than your foundation. By using a lighter shade, it will not only lighten the darker spots, but will give a uniform color to you skin when the foundation is applied. Don't use a darker color to conceal a flaw. This will only highlight it when you apply your foundation. The spots or imperfections will appear even darker after the foundation is applied compared to the rest of your face.
I love wearing mineral foundation & concealers. It's feather light on your skin and it is quick and easy to use. I always pre-conceal. Pre means before. Pre-concealing is the art of applying the concealer before the foundation is buffed (mineral foundation) or sponged onto the skin ( liquid foundation).
If you are using a liquid concealer, gently pat the concealer on to the area of imperfection. Then with a moist cosmetic sponge, gently press the sponge on to you skin. Don't rub with the sponge as this will leave the sponges pattern on your skin when the liquid concealer or foundation dries. A water based liquid won't clog the pores like an oil based liquid.
If you are using a natural mineral concealer, swirl the concealer minerals on the brush until they adhere to the brush. Gently tap the excess off. Then pat the concealer on the inner corners of your eyes. This will brighten up your eyes and make them appear further apart. I have found that this technique of laying on the concealer doesn't make your fine lines show up as much as opposed to sweeping or buffing the concealer under your eyes. Make sure the skin around your eyes are well moisturized. Let the moisturizer completely dry around your eyes before applying any minerals to your skin. Otherwise the skin will grab the minerals for an uneven look. Continue to gently pat each dark spot or imperfection until they blend with your natural bare skin (no foundation yet). When you have matched the tone of your imperfections to that of your natural bare skin with the concealer, you can then apply the foundation of your choice. Your skin imperfections will now blend in naturally once you apply your foundation.
If your skin is oily, try applying a good finishing mineral veil before the concealer. The mineral veil will actually absorb the oil in your skin for a perfect matte finish lasting all day long. The cornstarch in the veil is credited for the oil absorption.Natural Mineral foundation & concealers won't clog your pores at all. They are all natural and gentle to your skin.Once you start applying the concealer correctly, you will see amazing results in your overall appearance!
