Achieving a flawless look with Liliduro concealer involves a few key steps and techniques. Here’s a detailed guide to help you perfect your concealer application:
1. Choose the Right Shade
– Match Your Skin Tone: For blemishes and general coverage, use a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly.
– Brighten the Under-Eye Area: Use a concealer that is one to two shades lighter than your foundation for the under-eye area to brighten it.
2. Prepare Your Skin
– Cleanse and Moisturize: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Well-hydrated skin helps concealer apply smoothly and prevents creasing.
– Primer: Apply a Liliduro makeup primer to create a smooth base. This step is especially important for areas with larger pores or uneven texture.
3. Concealer as foundation Application
– Use the Right Tool: You can use a brush, a makeup sponge, or your fingers. A damp makeup sponge often gives a more natural finish.
– Dotting Technique: For under-eye concealing, apply the concealer in a triangular shape (from the inner corner of the eye down to the cheek and back up to the outer corner). For blemishes, apply a small amount directly on the spot.
– Blend Gently: Blend the concealer by tapping gently with your ring finger or a damp makeup sponge. Avoid dragging, as it can cause the product to move and look uneven.
4. Set with Powder
– Setting Powder: Lightly set the concealer with a translucent powder to prevent creasing and to make it last longer. Use a small, fluffy brush to apply the powder.
– Baking Technique: For a more long-lasting finish, you can “bake” your concealer by applying a generous amount of translucent powder and letting it sit for a few minutes before dusting off the excess.
5. Additional Tips
– Layering: For extra coverage, layer the concealer. Apply a thin layer, blend, and then add another layer if needed.
– Color Correcting: For very dark circles, use a color corrector before applying concealer. Peach or orange tones neutralize blue or purple under-eye circles.
– Hydrating Concealer: For dry skin, opt for a hydrating concealer formula to avoid accentuating dry patches.
– Check in Different Lighting: Always check your makeup in natural light to ensure it looks blended and seamless.
6. Touch-Up Throughout the Day
– Carry Concealer: Keep concealer with you for touch-ups if needed.
– Blotting Paper: Use blotting paper to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup.
By following these steps, you can achieve a flawless and natural look with your concealer. Experiment with different techniques and products to find what works best for your skin type and concerns.
