Can concealer be applied directly? Which is better, concealer or concealer pen?

There are many kinds of concealer products, and many sisters also use it during makeup. So can concealer be applied directly on the face? Which one is better to use, concealer or concealer pen?

Concealer cannot be used directly. Generally, concealer should be used after applying base makeup. This can not only reduce the damage to the skin, but also achieve a better concealing effect. If used directly on the face, pores may be clogged, and acne and blackheads will grow over time. Concealer needs to be used after applying base makeup, because it is a makeup, not a skin care product. Applying it directly on the face is too irritating to the skin. Moreover, concealer can easily enter the pores when used directly, causing pores to be clogged and facial skin to be dull. Concealer is best used in the third step of makeup, after applying skin care products and primer. This can not only have a concealing effect, but also has great benefits for the skin.

It is impossible to judge which one is better or worse between the two. When targeting different parts of the body, you should choose the appropriate concealer product.

1. From the perspective of skin quality

Concealer products have different textures and are suitable for different skin types. Concealer cream has a thick and dense texture and is suitable for oily skin. Concealer pen has a watery texture and is suitable for dry skin.

2. From the perspective of concealer

Concealer pens are used to cover small blemishes, such as small pimples, while concealer cream is used when a large area needs to be covered. This is because concealer cream has strong covering power and is moisturizing. It is difficult for concealer pens to achieve this effect, but concealer pens can make concealing work more precise.

3. From the perspective of concealer strength

Concealer pens have a more watery texture, so their concealing power is relatively poor, but they have a finer concealing effect. Concealer can be considered a type of foundation. The difference is that concealer has better covering power than ordinary foundation, fits the skin better, and is long-lasting and not easy to come off.

Concealer can be applied to the lips. When we apply bitten lip makeup, we often use concealer to cover the lip color and the edge of the lips. But generally, it is a concealer product specially made for the lips. If you don't have a concealer product specially made for the lips, you can use a general concealer instead. Although you can use a general concealer as a substitute, it is not as moisturizing as a concealer product specially made for the lips, so it is better to choose a concealer suitable for the lips.

This depends on the depth of the scar. Concealer can cover shallow scars, but deep scars can only be lightened. Concealer can be applied to the lips, but it is best to use a concealer specifically for the lips. When we apply bite lip makeup, we often use concealer or other concealer products.
