Check out these Nice Concealer For Every Skin Issue
If you Search the word "concealer" on any beauty retailer’s
site, and you’re bound to see at least three or four pages filled with
everything from pens to pots. That in mind, for your sake of your wallet
and sanity, might we suggest shopping based on what exactly you intend
to camouflage? Be it masking dark circles or disguising a pimple,
according to celebrity makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor, there’s a
concealer for that. See more photos after the cut...
1. The Stick
What It’s Best For: Since stick
concealers are so dense, they work especially well for blemishes, says
Sotomayor. For the same reason, it’s important to blend, blend, blend
after initially dabbing on the formula. “Use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to
buff it out evenly,” says Sotomayor. Or, if you have dry skin, before
applying, warm the concealer by holding the tube between clasped hands
before picking up a small amount with a brush, he advises. The trick
allows for you to “melt" the concealer, making it lighter and even
smoother. Pro Pick: Clé De Peau Beauté Concealer
What It’s Best For: Perhaps the most
multi-purpose of all concealers, those housed in pots or pans work for
both trouble spots and undereyes. “Since it comes in solid form, you can
tap it on with your fingertip without picking up too much product,"
says Sotomayor, who uses the same technique on eyelids to prime before
using shadow. Pro Pick: Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage
What It’s Best For: According to Sotomayor, if you’re always on the go, you need
a concealer pen in your life. “They’re super portable and great for
touching up, since the built-in brush tip blends the concealer as you
apply it and only dispense a little at a time,” he says. Use it midday
on the areas where your foundation has faded for a fresh-faced look. Pro Pick: Eve Lom Light Illusion Concealer
What It’s Best For: Formulas applied via
a doe foot wand are famously lightweight, says Sotomayor. That makes
them ideal for covering patches of discoloration—like redness around the
nose—without caking. Just be sure to blend out with a fluffy shadow
brush, cautions Sotomayor. Pro Pick: Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Concealer
5. Tube
What It’s Best For: A bit of creamy
concealer straight from the tube can do wonders for dark circles and
discoloration, says Sotomayor. (For precision’s sake, squeeze out a bit
on the back of your hand and use a small brush if you’re trying to cover
a blemish.) Formulas here can vary from light to heavy coverage, so
shop accordingly. Sotomayor’s pick by Onomie boasts skin care benefits
in the form of brightening, too. Pro Pick: Onomie Bright Concealing Elixir
