<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like green concealer, orange works to neutralize the dark blue or purplish areas on your face. If you’ve got serious under eye circles or dark spots, orange concealer will help to cover up those areas.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Finish with loose powder</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Especially under your eyes, loose powder over top of concealer helps to set it in place and goes one step further to even out skin tone. Simply use a translucent powder over the concealer.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Choose one shade lighter</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When choosing a concealer, go about one shade lighter than your foundation. If you’re applying concealer to dark or red areas, using one shade lighter than the rest of your makeup will help to even out those tones.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do not go too much lighter or darker with the product as it can that you are wearing too much makeup.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>It can be a Primer</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nothing helps your eye shadow stay in place more than a great primer, especially if you’re planning a long night or you’ve got eyelids that are more on the oily side to begin with. Because of concealer’s consistency, it works as a smooth, oil free base for your eye shadow, plus it’ll help to make your shadow colors more vivid because it neutralises your eyelid color first.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Avoid the caked-on look</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, go for a more lightweight concealer to prevent a caked on look. Make sure that you’re prepping your eye first with a gel or cream moisturizer, as dry skin underneath concealer can make it look packed on.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Always use a sponge</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the most even distribution, apply concealer along the bottom of your eye in four or five small dots. Using a makeup sponge, gently blot the concealer into skin. Applying in dots will help with even, crease-free distribution of the concealer. ;<strong> ;</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Clean makeup mistakes</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Clean up mascara or other makeup mistakes on your face by dipping cotton in a bit of concealer—you’re cleaning up the area and covering it up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So these were few ways to use concealer. ; If you are not using one then you are one step away from getting that flawless beautiful face.</p>
