It is not necessary to use it. If you want to cover acne marks, you can use it. Concealer products are the last step in the general base makeup steps, and concealer can be regarded as a kind of foundation. The last step is also used as a local makeup, and it is not suitable for large-scale direct contact with the skin. The difference is that concealer has better covering power than ordinary foundation, fits the skin better, and is long-lasting and not easy to remove. If you have red bloodshot on a large area and your skin is relatively dark, you can choose to apply concealer first and then foundation. The texture of the concealer pen is much thicker than the liquid foundation, so it is generally suitable for local application when applying makeup, and the effect will be more natural. If it is directly in contact with the skin over a large area, it may directly fill the powder into the pores due to its dry texture, which will cause the pores of the skin to be clogged.

Regular products meet national standards and will not cause obvious damage. Concealer can be regarded as a kind of foundation.

Using concealer can make your face smooth and delicate again. There are usually three types of concealer: liquid, paste and strip. Liquid and strip concealer have better coverage, but the makeup technique must be proficient; paste concealer has lower coverage, but because of its refreshing texture, it is easy to create a natural makeup. Generally, it is mostly solid, but the viscosity varies. You can choose products for large-area use or local use according to your needs. Long-term use of concealer, because it contains some heavy metal ingredients, if the quality is unqualified, the heavy metals in the ingredients exceed the standard, and the makeup removal is not thorough, it will cause greater damage to the skin.

If concealer is used improperly, it will cause many side effects, such as acne, coarsening of pores, dryness of the skin, and spots on the face. Using concealer for a long time will hinder the respiration of our skin and affect the normal metabolism of the skin, so the concealer remaining in the pores is particularly prone to skin inflammation, which in turn leads to acne. This is why many people are prone to acne after using concealer. Secondly, this concealer applied on the face will cause pores to be clogged, so long-term use of concealer will slowly enlarge our pores, so the pores will become coarser and coarser. Concealer generally has no moisturizing effect. If you do not do a good job of moisturizing before applying it, the skin will become very dry and it is easy to grow fine lines.

If you choose a shade darker than your skin, it will not cover up the blemishes. If you choose a shade lighter than your skin, it will create a "white on the yellow dog, swollen on the white dog" effect. It is a misunderstanding to think that a whiter concealer should be used to cover up the blemishes. Some people do not use concealers but use liquid foundation with strong coverage. Even if the foundation has a covering function, it cannot completely cover up the dark marks, moles, acne, etc. Choosing a concealer that is one shade darker can make your makeup look more natural and have a more nude makeup feel.
