Concealer proves to be an important part of a make up kit of any woman. One can resort to a concealer for hiding those unwanted and unkind lines and marks that may emerge on your face just before the big day of your life.Despite being such an important tool, many women all over the world skip making use of the concealer. Reason – not knowing how to apply it perfectly.Using a concealer is not difficult, if one remembers some basic rules of applying.

       1.Apply a concealer before you start applying make up.
       2.Begin with applying several dots of the concealer under the eyes. Spread it evenly using the middle finger pad.
       3.Apply it in small quantities and one coat at a time.
       4.Do not tub concealer onto the face as it can result in some redness.
       5.One should not hesitate tapping it on the other uneven parts of the face like the chin or around the nose, if the need be.
       6.Remember the purpose of using a concealer before starting to apply. This will help you in deciding how much you need to put it.
       7.Use a small brush with a fine tip for better results. A fine tip ensures that the concealer is properly applied to the targeted area.
       8.Applying concealer on a pimple or an acne area is not as tricky as applying it beneath the eye to hide the dark circles. The area beneath the eye is very sensitive. Hence, make use of a moisturizing cream before applying the concealer there. Also use the pad of your ring finger so that you do not end up exerting more than the required force.
       9.If you have a dry skin texture, use a liquid concealer.
     10.Use a face cleanser for removing concealer rather than water.

MAC Studio Finish Pressed Powder has actually been replaced by a new product, Select Sheer Pressed Powder. The packaging looks similar for each of them; a sleek black compact without any adornments. It’s perfect for pulling out in public or keeping stashed in your bathroom drawer. While both seem to make your skin look silky and smooth, it seems that the replacement could be a little bit lighter, that is, sheerer in coverage.

This one was good for creating a flawless look without going too dewy on the oily skinned girls or giving too much or too little coverage for average skin. It was considered by most to be a medium coverage finish. It was good for daytime touch-ups as well as on its own as a foundation,It seems, though, that this product wasn’t as finally milled as the “new and improved” version.

Just as MAC Studio Finish Pressed Powder came with its own sponge, so does the Select Sheer version. Some people prefer to skip the sponge altogether (they could harbor bacteria, contributing to breakouts) and use a foundation or powder brush instead. That’s your call. If you’ve never had any problems using the sponge from your powder before, you probably won’t need to worry about it now.

1. Brush-on Concealer Concealer to the rescue! A brush-on concealer is perfect for any beauty emergency. Concealer hides dark circles, small imperfections, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and signs of fatigue. A pencil-size brush on concealer is quick and convenient. Perfect for touch-ups anywhere.

2. The Best Concealer Choose a makeup concealer that is lightweight yet creamy. A stick concealer provides direct on-the-spot application. A quality concealer is texture-free, virtually invisible and vitamin-enriched. The best concealer will brighten and lighten dark areas, erase spots and even out skin tones. Quality concealers make skin flaw-free. Most concealers, including under eye concealers, can be used under foundation or on their own. Find a concealer that is water-resistant, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.

3. Covering up blemishes To cover minor blemish imperfections start at the foundation level. After you have applied your foundation with a sponge gently tap your sponge over the areas you want covered without rubbing the sponge over the area. Then apply powder lightly. This will provide extra coverage where it is needed while still giving an overall blended appearance.

4. Colored Concealer Generally, concealer color should match your skin tone. A color-correcting makeup concealer in green will offset redness. A yellow concealer will downplay bluish discolorations. A slightly lighter under eye concealer will cover dark circles under the eyes. For birthmarks and scars, the best concealer is thicker, more opaque. Check with your doctor before using concealer on treated or healing areas.

5. Under Eye Concealer Concealer is indispensable for hiding skin imperfections. If you have sensitive skin, choose a makeup concealer that contains only pure mineral pigment color (no dyes, oils, talcs or starch) Some brands of concealer come with a brush for a softly diffused appearance. If you need concentrated pigment and intense coverage, apply concealer with a wet or dry sponge. The best concealer can be reapplied with no caking or streaking on either damp or dry skin. A neutral shade of undereye concealer helps neutralize the purple/brown tones of bruising, undereye circles and other concealing challenges.

6. Makeup Concealer Makeup concealer is used to hide spots or discolorations. Most cosmetologists recommend a creamy or stick concealer used under foundation. To apply concealer: dot on and blend gently with a dry wedge sponge or clean finger for seamless coverage. You can also dot some concealer over foundation, before powder, for added coverage. Choose the right color. Without the right color of concealer, you may highlight rather than conceal your trouble spots.
