MAKEUP BASIC - FACE- CONCEALER

HI LADIES Welcome to 2014,our topic for today is CONCEALER . I will give a brief definition,its uses and types. A concealer is a flesh toned cosmetic used to cover/mask facial blemishes,dark circles under the eyes;birth marks,tribal marks,spots and large pores. it is similar to foundation but thicker.it makes the skin appear uniform in colour. A concealer is heavily bpigmented it is most times used with a foundation. Concealers are available in a variety of shades,people choose concealers that are one ore two shades lighter than their skin tone because it better hides blemishes and dark under eye circles. TYPES OF CONCEALERS Concealers come in three forms,these different forms of concealers have different formulas with different levels of coverage. 1) Cream Concealer: They come in pots,stick and palletes usually very thick and heavily pigmented.it is applied with fingers or brushes.Mostly used for covering blemishes on the face because of its level of pigmentation, a little goes a long way,it stays longer and blending is the key for cream concealers.

2)Liquid Concealer: Under this category we have tube and wand concealer. these concealers are not as thick as the cream concealers. They are easy to blend and can be used under the eyes. A little goes a long way. 3)Powder concealer: It is usually sheer and comes in mineral form, it is good to cover fine lines and minor skin blemishes.it provides the least amount of coverage because it is light weight. This is all for concealers,this post is specially for those that have tribal marks,dark spots, birth marks etc. Hope the information is useful.Our next topic is Face Powder . STAY TUNED CIAO
