#concealer tricks

Liebe Mama, ❤️ wie oft hast du dich schon vor dem Spiegel gefragt, warum deine Augen trotz Schlafmangel und Babyzeit einfach nicht frisch wirken wollen? Ich kenne das Gefühl nur zu gut! Doch dann habe ich diesen einen Trick entdeckt – und seitdem strahlen meine Augen, als hätte ich acht Stunden im Schönheitsschlaf verbracht. ✨ Es geht um den Concealer in der berühmten Dreiecksform unter den…

Liebe Mama, ❤️ hast du dich auch schon gefragt, warum dein Concealer manchmal wie eine Maske wirkt? Warum er sich in den Falten sammelt oder einfach nicht hält – obwohl du doch alles richtig machst? 😔 Ich war selbst jahrelang in diesem Kampf gefangen. Bis ich einen einfachen, aber genialen Trick entdeckte: den Concealer in einer Dreiecksform unter den Augen auftragen. ✨ Und plötzlich sah mein…

1. If you use foundation, apply it first, and then apply your concealer. If you apply your foundation first, you'll find that you don't need to use as much concealer. If you apply concealer first, however, you'll remove most of it while applying your foundation.

2. The most flattering way to apply concealer is to draw a triangle with the base under your eye and the point toward your cheek. This shape not only conceals dark circles, but it also instantly creates the illusion that your face is lifted. Think of it as holding a flashlight against your cheek, shining the light right underneath your eye, and drawing the focus upward.

3. To prevent your eye shadow from falling off your lid and settling in the creases, prime your eyelids first with a dab of concealer. If you can't justify spending extra on eye shadow primer, a dab of concealer works just as well.

4. When concealing a pimple, first use a green concealer, then cover the area with a concealer that matches your skin tone perfectly. Cancel out a pimple's redness by applying green concealer with a clean brush to only the pimple (not the skin around it) to avoid spreading the bacteria. Then, use a cotton swab to dab on a high-coverage liquid concealer that matches your skin tone to camouflage the pimple. Blend it into the surrounding skin and finish with setting powder.

5. If you have a pimple on your chest or back that you need to conceal, cover the trouble spots with a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly, and then top it with a translucent powder. Continue to alternate concealer and setting powder until the blemish is undetectable. The concealer will hide the blemish and the setting powder will prevent it from wearing off. 

6. Dab an orange- or peach-colored concealer over dark under-eye circles with your ring finger. Your ring finger, which is your weakest, will apply just the right amount of pressure to blend in the concealer without pulling at your delicate eye skin, and the orange or peach tones will cancel out the blue shadows that your under-eye circles give off. Top the orange or peach formula with a cover-up that matches your skin.

7. Know what issues different colors of concealer fix. Peach shades cancel out blue circles or bruising, green hide red blemishes, and yellow-toned concealers correct almost all uneven skin tones.

8. Hide puffy eyes with a bit of eye cream, highlighter, and concealer. Mix products on the back of your hand. Then apply the mixture under your eyes, on the outside by your temples, and over your brow bone to brighten the area and hide puffiness.

9. After applying concealer, blot the area with a thin tissue to prevent the product from settling in the creases around your eyes. If your concealer tends too look cakey in the fine lines around your eyes midday, split a tissue into two layers, and use one of the sheets to remove excess oil.

10. Sharpen your cat-eye and cover any eyeliner mistakes with an angled brush dipped in concealer. This is much easier than removing it altogether and starting over completely.
