Oh, concealer.
Pretty much my best friend in the whole world. (Sorry, actual best friend, but eh, mornings and kids and dark circles and all that…)
Anyway, we all love concealer, it’s every mama’s miracle worker on those mornings when you didn’t get enough sleep (that’s every morning, obvs.) But aside from covering your under-eye baggage and those unexpected break-out emergencies, how are you getting the most out of your concealer and it’s life-changing abilities?
I recently had lunch with a very fabulous makeup artist friend of mine, and he gave me a concealer tip I feel like very girl should know about (that’s how good it is. And how sound I am for sharing it!)
Are you ready? Here is what you need to do with your concealer after you have tackled those zits and dark circles:
Swipe some concealer around the corners of your mouth and your nose – in a sort of a crescent moon sort of shape – before you apply the rest your makeup as normal.
The reason being that these areas can often do with some brightening, as many of us (even if we don’t really notice us) have slight discoloration here – and uneven skin is often the number one thing that makes us look older than we actually are, long before wrinkles and saggy skin appears.
It might sound a little odd and unnecessary, but I promise if you try it, you will see a difference in the over-all appearance of your face. In a good way!
