Makeup is a whole science, and you need to know a lot to comprehend it. Today we offer you to get acquainted with a foundation - a concealer for the eyes, consider what it is and how to use it, how to choose the right one based on the characteristics of the skin and the type of makeup?

Eye Concealer is a foundation used to achieve perfectly even skin around the eyes. This is especially important for girls who are familiar with dark circles under the eyes. Depending on the type of concealer, the principle of its application and use in makeup changes. With the help of this make-up tool, you can visually enlarge the eyes, give the look expressiveness and shine.

Choosing a concealer

The most important thing in this difficult task is to choose the right color scheme. We offer a small plate where we tried to describe the color types and colors of makeup products (according to the same principle, you can):

By structure, concealers are:

1. Liquid (creamy);
2. Dry (like powder or blush, powdery).

If you don't know which type is best to choose, then we recommend using a liquid concealer for young skin, it paints circles well, makes the skin evenly smooth, and does not clog between wrinkles. Dry ones are more suitable for mature dermis, because they smooth out wrinkles in the corners of the eyes.

Of course, you can go deeper into sorting concealers by makeup type. For example, in order to rejuvenate a face without surgery, or rather visually remove several years (or even a dozen in evening lighting), you need to use a product with a reflective effect. Another secret of makeup artists: pearlescent concealer cannot be used on problem skin. For long-lasting makeup, use under a face concealer that works well for contouring.

• According to most makeup artists and users, which is confirmed by their reviews, the best concealer under the eyes is the option presented in a liquid consistency. It easily and imperceptibly lies on the thin and delicate skin of the eyelids, and at the same time masks dark circles under the eyes. This variation is also supported by the fact that the liquid consistency does not emphasize the expression and age wrinkles. And even if such a concealer rolls into folds, then it will not appear as clearly as in other variations.
• Another popular option is creamy concealers. According to most users, this variation of concealers is the best for bruising under the eyes. The creamy texture gives a thicker coverage and can be used even without foundation. The main thing is to find your own shade.

Concealer that is applied to the eye area should always be half a tone lighter than the complexion. It is in this case that the effect of a rested look can be achieved. Dark shades or shades, matched to the tone of the face, age and make the look heavier.

• Use dry concealer consistencies with caution. In general, it is not recommended to apply them under the eyes, because the powdery consistency emphasizes dry skin and a fine mesh of wrinkles. However, they can be used to make up the inner corner of the eyelids instead of a highlighter.

Whatever the moisturizing properties of concealers are promised by the manufacturer, always apply them over a moisturizer or makeup base.

Here is such a rating of eye concealers looming today. But I think it will change. After all, manufacturers each time offer more and more new beauty products that are more perfect than their predecessors. Look for the best options for yourself, and we hope that our rating will help you with this.

Even with perfect skin care, you may wake up and notice bags or dark circles under the eyes due to lack of sleep, fluid retention, pollen allergies, or simply the deep-seated eyes inherited from mom and dad. Dermatologists say that the thin skin around the eyes is more susceptible to external influences than other areas of the skin, making it the first problem area.

A good concealer can hide this problem, but finding the right shade and formula is an art. Celebrity makeup artist Eugenia Weston says it's no coincidence that most concealers are either peach (orange in the base) or yellow: each color has its own effect, so they often coexist in the same package. The point is not to choose between peach and yellow (most of us want both), but to choose a tone of these colors - light, medium or dark - that would match your complexion.

How to choose the right concealer color
If you have bluish or dark circles under your eyes, a peach-colored concealer can help hide them. But if your eye area and eyelids are pinkish, which is usually the case with fair skinned people, then a yellow concealer will eliminate the redness. The formula - creamy or liquid - is a matter of personal preference. Creamy concealers mask better, but require some skill to apply; Liquid concealers are lightweight and are better for soft circles or younger skin.

How to apply
Using your ring finger, using the least amount of pressure, apply the eye cream to make the concealer easier to apply. If you wake up with puffy eyes, use a lifting or firming eye gel instead of cream. The cooling and lifting ingredients help to reduce bags under the eyes.

If you are using a make-up base, apply it to the under-eye area as well. Apply three drops of concealer, starting from the "underbone" under the brow to the outer corner of the eye, using an oval synthetic bristle brush approximately one cm wide. Then blend the concealer down and outward, covering the entire problem area. Gently apply concealer with your ring finger in a circular, pressing motion. If your upper eyelids are pink, apply a yellow concealer on them to serve as a neutralizing base for the eyeshadow.

Use powder
Set the look with a new Mineral Powder for a versatile translucent shade. "Dip the corner of the triangular latex sponge in the setting powder (I usually press more than I care about cleanliness) and blot the powder along the lash line," Weston says. Women often neglect to apply powder over concealer, but this is a very important step. "If you don't use any post-concealer powder, the mascara and eyeliner that you put on will smudge by the end of the day, leaving the dark spots you want to get rid of."

Hair comes to the rescue
"If circles under the eyes are a constant problem, getting the right hairstyle can distract attention from them," says stylist Tom Brophy. For example, bangs that fall and cut on the side will distract the eyes of others from the area under the eyes, as they visually soften the curls around the face. "What should be avoided," says Brophy, "are side or straight bangs, as they would only accentuate the problem area."

Also take into account the fact that your natural hair color can visually intensify the circles under the eyes, making them even darker. Since dark and ashy tones can accentuate under eye circles, consider changing your hair color one shade lighter. Alternatively, add a few light strands around the face to visually lighten the skin.

In this matter, a special color wheel will help, with which you can easily choose your option. The basic principle of this scheme is that the shade of the cosmetics is chosen similar to the tone of the defect. For example, if you notice bluish veins appear on the surface of your skin, it is best to opt for an orange concealer.

The color wheel is based on the opposite. In accordance with the set scheme for dark defects, it is worth choosing cosmetics in warm shades, for example, pink. It is worth carefully understanding what the colors mean and what each one is used for.

• To eliminate bruises and age spots, a purple or lavender look is used. By using these shades, dark circles under the eyes can be hidden. The effect can be achieved with a lilac concealer.

You may notice that the palette of concealers is quite extensive, but the main thing is to choose a shade in accordance with the characteristics of the skin.

Color options can be attributed to a number of universal types, as they are able to mask any minor flaws.

How to choose?

There are several important things to consider when choosing a concealer. Professional make-up artists recommend using concealing cosmetics half a tone lighter than your skin tone. Please note that white and yellowish colors are not only suitable for retouching many problem areas.

If the skin has inflammation or small pimples, it is best to choose options that have a dense structure.

Stick concealers work well for daily use. To treat the area around the eyes, it is worth using products with a moisturizing effect. Makeup artists recommend choosing density and texture depending on which area of ​​your face you will be masking with makeup.

In the hot season, it is best to use the products dry, as liquid concealers quickly lose their properties, and besides, the makeup is too sloppy.

Correct application

For starters, it's best to choose multi-colored concealers for daily use. They include several shades, which is convenient in the process of application. Basically, cosmetics are made up of 9 or 15 colors. Each of the shades can be used to treat a separate area.

As for the use, the concealer should only be applied after the foundation.

If you want to cover up a red pimple or other noticeable blemish, it is best to use special brushes for this. To mask such problems, a dense concealer in the form of a stick with a pink undertone is suitable. It is recommended to cover the redness with green color beforehand, which will help to hide the inflammation as much as possible.

Frequent mistakes

Quite often, modern women make elementary mistakes when applying concealer. The most common oversight is using concealer before foundation. You need to understand that the main purpose of the concealer is to hide those imperfections that the cream did not cope with.

Often, girls use a tonal foundation instead of a concealer, which is wrong.

In some cases, this makeup can hide imperfections in the form of dark circles, but after completing the makeup, the incompatibility of tones will be visible.

One of the most common mistakes is incorrect application. For example, masking a pimple, many girls apply cosmetics directly to this area, and after that they try to blend. But, it is impossible to achieve the desired effect with this application. Apply the concealer with a brush around the problem area, gradually approaching the center.
