Quick Fixes With Concealers

• Use a green concealer if you think you over-blush above acceptable levels. It also hides pimples, blemishes, scars, birthmarks and broken capillaries.
• Use a yellow concealer to cover up dark colored bruises and dark under-eye circles.
• Blend some pink/mauve concealer with your regular foundation to help camouflage yellowish bruises and even out uneven yellow-colored skin tone.
• To hide freckles, choose a foundation that is just slightly darker than the non-freckled area.
• To cover up dark circles beneath eyes or eye bags, apply some light liquid foundation on the dark areas followed by a concealer that is lighter than your foundation. Blend well.
• It will also be beneficial to apply some gentle eye cream onto the dark circles before putting on foundation.
• Birthmark : if it’s getting in your way, especially when its on the neck, shoulder or arm, look for creams that are specially formulated to camouflage birthmarks. Select the shade closest to your neck’s color. After application, blend together with foundation and loose powder extending beyond the birthmark area for a less obvious look.
• 1 quick fix for a pimple : dab a suitable concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin color before putting on foundation.
• Concealer can be applied either before or after foundation, just make sure that it is not wiped away while you are blending with foundation. Always start with a small amount of concealer and apply gently in a dabbing motion. Do not rub or exert pressure. After you have completed applying foundation and concealer, set with loose powder.
