What colors are there for concealer? What are the corresponding functions of concealer colors?

Benliang wants to buy a concealer to cover the fine lines on his face, but after looking around, he found that concealers seem to come in all kinds of colors and he doesn’t know which one to buy. What functions do the different colors of concealers correspond to?

Concealer colors include skin color concealer, orange-pink concealer, green concealer, purple concealer, yellow concealer, and blue concealer. Concealer of different colors has different effects.

To cover dark circles, you can use a color that is close to or slightly darker than your skin color, so that the color of the dark circles can be neutralized. If the color is too light, it will not only fail to cover the dark circles, but also make it very obvious that there is a layer of very white concealer floating on the dark circles, which will make the dark circles more obvious. You can use a lighter concealer to brighten the area under your eyes and the T-zone.

Green: Acne, red skin

In the color spectrum, red and green are complementary colors, so for reddish blemishes, such as red and inflamed pimples, red blood vessels, sensitive redness, etc., you should choose green concealer, which can cover blemishes and adjust skin tone at the same time, making it look more natural.

Orange: Brown dark circles

Warm orange concealer can neutralize brown skin, such as dark circles caused by staying up late. First apply dark concealer under the eyes, modify the inverted triangle formed by the eye head, nose wing and eye end, and then use your fingers to lightly apply a layer of lighter concealer to brighten.

Purple concealer: Dull, yellowish

Purple can be used to brighten and adjust skin tone, so it is targeted at yellow and dull skin, and it also has a certain effect on lighter acne and spots. In addition to concealing blemishes, purple concealer can also brighten the corners of the eyes and the T-zone.

Lemon concealer: dark circles around eyes

We may not use this color of concealer very often, but it is particularly effective for dark circles around the eyes. Dark circles around the eyes are different from dark circles. They are often caused by ultraviolet rays or irregular lifestyles. The soft lemon color can just neutralize this precipitation, making the color of the subsequent eyeshadow more natural and pure.

Mix light and dark to highlight the contour

Use a concealer that matches your skin tone to create a shadowy contour. Apply a light concealer to the forehead, bridge of the nose, under the eyes, above and below the eyebrows, cheekbones, and chin, and then apply a darker concealer to the hairline and chin edge, and then spread it evenly with a sponge to create a three-dimensional effect.

Brightens eyes and makes eyeshadow last longer

Applying concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin color to the inner corners of your eyes, the middle of your eyelids, and under your brow bones can help brighten your eyes. Applying it above and below your eyebrows can help make your eyebrows look softer and more natural. In addition, concealer that is close to your skin color can replace eyeshadow primer and be applied to your eyelids before applying eyeshadow to make the eyeshadow last longer and prevent it from coming off.

Correct eyeliner and shape lips

Concealer is like the correction tape we used as children, which can correct small mistakes in makeup. For example, if you accidentally draw the eyeliner wrong, you can use concealer to repair it, saving you the trouble of removing makeup and redrawing. For example, you can use a small amount of concealer to modify the corners of the mouth and the peak of the lip to correct the lips that are too wide or too thick, making the lips more three-dimensional. If you want to create a full lip effect, you can apply a light-colored concealer in the middle of the lips and spread it with your fingertips; or apply concealer on the edge of the lips to blur the lip line, and then use a lip pencil to draw the lip shape you like.

If you feel that the color of the concealer is too dark, it is recommended to change to a lighter concealer, or mix it with the foundation. The color of the foundation can be lighter to play a neutralizing role.

Concealer can be considered as a kind of foundation. The difference is that concealer has better coverage than ordinary foundation, fits the skin better, lasts longer and is not easy to remove. Everyone has blemishes on their face, and using concealer can make your face smooth and delicate again. There are usually three types of concealer: liquid, cream and strip. Liquid and strip concealer have better coverage, but the makeup application technique must be proficient; cream concealer has lower coverage, but because of its refreshing texture, it is easy to create a natural makeup. Generally speaking, it is mostly solid, but the viscosity varies. You can choose products for large-area use or local use according to your needs.

When choosing concealer, you must pay attention to choosing the color that suits your skin tone, otherwise it will easily cause uneven and unnatural skin tone. Usually, you can choose several colors of concealer, take appropriate amounts on different fingers, gently pass over your face, compare your facial skin tone, and choose the color that is closest to your skin tone.

In addition, you must choose a good quality concealer so that it is not easy to come off and the makeup can last for a long time. Skin care is also indispensable.

Generally speaking, concealer can cover up eye bags.

Steps to conceal eye bags with concealer:

Step 1: After applying liquid foundation, use a concealer brush to take a small amount of concealer and apply it to the area within the red frame. Use your fingertips to gently press the edges to spread the concealer. Be careful not to apply the concealer to the bags under the eyes, and do not extend it further back beyond two-thirds of the lower eyelid.

Step 2: The red framed area in the picture is the location of the tear trough. Hold the concealer brush upright and draw a stroke. Use the pointed tip of the concealer brush to brush a few strokes, as if the concealer brush is going to poke your eyes. Then use your fingertips to lightly press the edges to spread it out.

Step 3: Use concealer that is one shade brighter than your foundation and apply it evenly on the lower eyelid area. It doesn't matter if the area is a little larger. Just use a flat-angle brush to apply it. Finally, use loose powder to set the makeup. Be careful not to use too much loose powder, just a little bit will do.

Notice:

Before using a concealer pen to draw dark circles and eye bags, you must first apply moisturizing eye cream in the order of lower eyelid, upper eyelid, and outer corner of the eye. After the eye cream is fully absorbed, carefully observe your eye area. Sometimes there is pigmentation or red blood on the upper eyelid, and sometimes there are obvious dark circles or eye bags on the lower eyelid, which will make the eye makeup look dirty, so you need to use a special eye concealer pen to cover it.
