The variety of cosmetics on the market allows any woman to significantly improve her appearance. In particular, concealer is designed to solve the problem of skin defects. It disguises imperfections, restoring freshness to the face and allowing you to create a truly neat look. The main thing is to choose the right concealer, taking into account the tone and condition of your skin. What criteria should be used to evaluate?

How is concealer different from corrector?

The concept of “corrector” is often used as a synonym for the word “concealer”. But it is not entirely correct to equate these types of corrective agents: despite the similarity of their purpose, they differ from each other. What is the difference?

Characteristic	Concealer	Corrector
Structure	Lightweight and transparent, allowing the product to be easily applied to large areas.	Dense, providing reliable hiding of imperfections. The corrector is used pointwise; a special brush is used for application.
Color	Natural flesh-colored, less common color shades.	The palette of shades is very wide: each individual color is designed to mask a certain type of defect. For example, green is used to hide reddish pimples and capillaries, yellow/orange is used to disguise dark circles under the eyes and veins, etc.
Purpose of use	Concealing minor defects - small wrinkles, age spots and circles under the eyes. Correcting the shape of the face by highlighting its individual zones.	Elimination of pronounced imperfections - redness, dark circles under the eyes, freckles, scars, pimples, etc. Recommended for use in cases in which a light concealer does not help.
Effect on skin	Hydration.	Drying. Daily application of concealer provokes the appearance of facial wrinkles.

The corrector is relevant for treating inflammation and hiding “difficult” defects, while the concealer is only suitable for masking minor imperfections. Concealer is better suited for “painting over” circles under the eyes: it does not dry out delicate skin and does not accelerate the aging process.

Which concealer to choose based on release form

Concealers are divided into groups:

• liquid - easy to apply and shade, well disguises reddened areas. Used on the lip area, around the eyes, on the wings of the nose. Disadvantage: poor ability to hide pimples;
• creamy - characterized by a soft texture and ensure uniform application on the face. They are used on the area around the eyes, but can also correct other areas of the face;
• dry - the structure resembles blush or powder. They hide severe redness, acne and pimples well, additionally absorbing excess oil from the skin. Not recommended for use under the eyes.

Creamy products are considered universal. You can purchase them in any case - most likely, the concealer will be in place.
Dry products are often purchased by mature women, as these concealers perfectly smooth out small wrinkles around the eyes.

How to choose concealer by color

The shade of the concealer is the main factor that should guide your choice. The following recommendations should be taken into account:

• the ideal concealer tone is the one that exactly matches the skin color (or turns out to be a little lighter);
• You need to evaluate the quality of the concealer in daylight. You should not apply the product to the wrist - the skin tone in this area is different from that on the face;
• To emphasize the relief of the face by highlighting some of its areas, it is recommended to buy a product two shades lighter than the skin tone and foundation used.

The main problem that women face is bruises under the eyes. They can either occur due to fatigue or illness, or be hereditary and permanent. This deficiency must be corrected taking into account the color in which the problem was “done”:

Conceal circles with a concealer 0.5 shade lighter than your skin tone. This way you can “revive” your eyes, creating a slight radiant effect. Any light shades are suitable, “sand beige” and “ivory” have proven themselves especially well.

When using a colored concealer, you need to remember the relationship between “defect and the shade hiding it”:

1. Acne, pimples, blackheads are well masked with greenish products that suppress redness.
2. Irritation, protruding blood vessels, and blueness of the eyelids can be hidden with yellow concealer.
3. Freckles and pigmentation are visually removed with a product with a lilac base.
4. Defects noticeable on dark skin are hidden under an orange tint.
5. The “greenness” of bruises or veins is a reason to use pink concealer. But under no circumstances should it be applied to blue areas of the skin, as the result will be a purple tone.

The choice of concealer is a purely individual matter. You will have to try several products before you find the one that really suits you. Many girls mix different shades to get the desired result: the field for experimentation is very wide.

Traces of fatigue on the face, dark circles under the eyes, redness, pimples and other imperfections that so upset the modern woman can be neutralized by a wonderful cosmetic product - concealer. But in order to make the right choice when purchasing, you need to take into account all the specific properties of this product.

Criteria for choosing a good concealer

Consistency

There are two types of concealer textures:

• paste-like product in a jar, palette or stick. Suitable for retouching freckles, age spots, pimples. It masks obvious imperfections well, lasts longer, but has a denser coverage;
• a creamy product in a tube (sometimes with a brush or sponge). Designed to “eliminate” dark circles under the eyes, redness and facial wrinkles. Gives light coverage without weighing down makeup.

Important: Do not confuse concealer with other popular corrective products - corrector and highlighter. Concealer- a very light product that can cover large areas of skin (for example, the area around the eyes, the eyebrow area or the nose). It lightens the skin slightly, visually evens it out and is applied over foundation as a finishing touch to makeup.

Corrector is also designed to hide skin problems, but provides a completely opaque coating and is intended for spot application on serious imperfections. The purpose of a corrector is to completely cover the defect, often by using different shades of green, blue, orange, etc. It, like concealer, is effective for masking irritation and pimples, but it is used on smaller areas of the skin and only before applying foundation, otherwise the concealer will be noticeable on the skin.

Highlighter is able to brighten the skin, add radiance and distract attention from problem areas, but does not have a masking effect. However, there are also products that combine the properties of different corrective agents, as the manufacturer indicates in the product description.

Compound

Depending on the composition and effect on the skin, all concealers can be divided into caring products (provide camouflage + nutrition, hydration, ultraviolet protection) and special ones (not only mask the defect, but also fight its cause). Special concealers, due to their composition, are able to lighten age spots and freckles, improve blood circulation in the skin, smooth out facial wrinkles, etc. Light-scattering particles in the composition improve the effect of using concealer.

Palette of tones

Different brands can have a wide range of shades, or just a couple of universal tones that adapt to skin color. It’s impossible to say what to choose, you have to try. The color of the concealer should match your skin tone, but be half a shade lighter. Yellowish, pinkish, blue and green shades are designed to hide certain skin imperfections.

Concealer manufacturers: who is better?

Almost all well-known (and not so well-known) cosmetic companies have these small tubes or jars in their assortment. Among luxury concealers (RUB 1,500-3,000), the best reviews were received by products from Lancom, Dior, Shiseido, MAC, Chanel, Guerlain, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Bobby Brown and others. However, when purchasing them, you need to select the product itself more carefully: many expensive concealers can have a strong effect aimed at solving a specific problem. For example, Clinique is intended for extremely dry skin, and Estee Lauder is for mature skin after 40 years.

The mass market does not limit the choice of skin corrective products, but, on the contrary, makes it even more diverse. Good universal concealers can be found in the brands Max Factor, L'Oréal, Yves Rocher, Garnier (price 500-1500 rubles), as well as among more budget brands: Maybellin, Avon, Benefit, Oriflame, Vivienne Sabo, Artdeco, etc. (price 150-500 rub.). They provide acceptable camouflage of imperfections, but may adhere worse to the skin, clog in pores, and emphasize wrinkles.

Once it appeared on the decorative cosmetics market, concealer has firmly established itself in the cosmetic bags of everyone who cares about their own reflection in the mirror. But there are still a lot of ridiculous and rude opinions floating around this mysterious means of camouflage. In this material, we tried to collect only true facts and destroy the most common myths regarding concealer.

What is the difference between concealer and corrector

The difference between these two means lies somewhere in the depths of “PR” and the marketing positioning of the product on the market. That is, it is impossible to say that such and such a product is 100% concealer, but something in a light jar - like a corrector - is impossible. According to legend, the well-known Yves Saint Laurent brought confusion into the matter with its, what is there, legendary YSL Touche Eclat concealer.

This product entered the Russian market much earlier than the Russian language was able to accept and understand (and maybe even forgive) such a perverted word for a beauty neophyte as “highlighter.” In fact, Touche Eclat is nothing more than that same “shiner”. By the way, now it is called exactly that in all sorts of press releases, and even stores now sell it, indicating that it truly belongs to the illuminating, but not concealing, means, but initially it was still designated as a concealer. At the same time, the same manufacturers insisted in every possible way that they would not be able to cover up anything, but it was easy to give the face freshness and radiance. Since then, confusion began in our country about what is what and what it can be called. Nevertheless, the word “concealer”, as well as the products themselves under this name, have become firmly established in our cosmetic bags.

If you are still puzzled by the question of what can be considered a concealer and what can be considered a corrector, then you can derive two simple formulas. Firstly, concealer should be considered all means for disguising dark circles under the eyes. Secondly, the main task of concealers is to highlight problem areas (this could be the eyelid area, acne, or age spots). Concealers are denser textures for masking complex and problem areas of the skin. Moreover, the latter are selected not only to match the skin tone, but can also be yellow, peach, purple and even green, which helps to cope with even very advanced cases.

What kind of concealers are there?

Concealers come in several formats ( read also: “Your concealer can do more”), respectively, each of them has both its advantages and disadvantages. There are no universal forms, so you need to choose a texture based on your needs.

Liquid concealer. Perhaps the most convenient format. It can be with a built-in brush or sponge, with an applicator like a lip gloss, or sold in a tube or bottle with a dispenser. The latter, by the way, are the most hygienic - they are the most difficult for bacteria to reach. Liquid concealers are ideal for dry skin and usually contain moisturizing ingredients.

Pencil. It has a fairly thick texture and leaves an opaque tone on the skin. They are good at masking noticeable skin blemishes. It can be safely used not only to correct the area around the eyes, but also to disguise faint age spots, acne marks, pimples, and mild redness. And, of course, they can easily hide the consequences of a week of sleepless nights.

Stick. The texture is similar to the previous option - a pencil, but still has a thicker and less shadeable texture. Necessary if you really need to mask problem areas and if imperfections occupy a fairly large surface area. Suitable for correcting dark circles under the eyes, freckles, age spots and dilated blood vessels. Not at all suitable for spot masking.

Cream concealer. Such products are produced either in palettes or in separate jars. It has a pleasant texture that is convenient to apply with both fingers and brushes and sponges. Most often it is not suitable for oily skin, since due to its soft (often rich in oils) texture it can “float” after a couple of hours, revealing all the imperfections. Perfectly hides dark circles under the eyes and small, subtle blemishes.

Features of concealers

The advantage of concealers over correctors, if we agree that the former are intended for correcting the color of the skin around the eyes, is their soft formula. It is made with a focus on the needs of thin eyelid skin and takes into account the characteristics of the area (dryness due to the absence of sebaceous glands, sagging and the tendency to form wrinkles). Most often, such products include various nourishing and moisturizing components, and oils are not uncommon. The latter are especially good if your skin is prone to dryness.

Light-scattering particles are often added to concealers. They evenly reflect the incident light and help avoid the mask effect that is guaranteed if you cover up bruises with a corrector or thick foundation.

How to choose a concealer

Yellow. If the bruises under your eyes are really blue, even with a purple tint, then take concealers with a lemon tint. They will soften your skin tone and bring it closer to healthy.

Pink. If the area under your eyes has an olive, green tint, then it is better to take a concealer with a pink undertone.

Light. If you basically don’t sleep at night and work to the envy of Papa Carlo, and your eyes are surrounded by an almost black circle of hopeless pessimism, choose concealers a tone lighter than your normal skin. In all other cases, it is better to choose a shade within a shade.

How to apply

Concealer must be applied in several stages. First draw a triangle as shown in the picture. Then apply coverage over the entire lower eyelid area, blending downward. This way you need to sketch the entire triangle. Then carefully blend the borders with a sponge or your fingers so that they merge with the rest of the tone. Now use a lighter shade to highlight the hollows at the inner corners of the eyes - this optical illusion will open up your eyes and soften imperfections.

Errors in use

Apply concealer to tone. As we have already said, its task is to highlight dark and problem areas on your face. First of all, you need to apply the main skin color-evening product, and only then apply concealer to those areas that the tone did not cope with.

Use foundation as a concealer. The purpose of foundation is to even out the complexion. However, foundation cannot always cope with such difficult areas as the area around the eyes. Moreover, makeup artists recommend not applying foundation under the eyes, since it is usually not intended for use on such thin and sensitive skin.

Do not use foundation. If you see that your skin has lost its former firmness and elasticity, and wrinkles have appeared around the eyes, then a foundation for concealer is simply a necessary element of makeup. It will help smooth out the skin texture and the concealer will not accumulate in folds.

Neglect auxiliary tools. If you need to cover a small area with concealer, then you won’t find a better tool than a brush or sponge. It will help drive the product into the skin and blend the boundaries. It is impossible to achieve this effect with your fingers.

Have you ever wanted to learn the tricks of professional makeup artists to achieve a flawless complexion? Well, this is just possible. To make your skin look like it did after Photoshop, you need the right concealer. Makeup artists consider this product to be the most indispensable product in a cosmetic bag. After all, with the right concealer, you won't need foundation. Especially if you know how to use it correctly.

But concealer is also a very tricky product - one wrong step and your makeup can turn into a disaster. For example, you decided to use a concealer two or three shades lighter in the hope that it will hide the dark circles under your eyes. This is a terrible mistake. Firstly, we recommend using for dark circles, then your regular face concealer will do. Secondly, the tone of the concealer under the eyes should not be lighter at all. Quite the opposite, but more on that below.

To avoid making such makeup mistakes, you should know how to choose a concealer. It is important to take into account several criteria:

• purpose of the product
• skin tone
• skin type.

Here's our little guide to choosing the right concealer for your face and under your eyes.

How to Choose a Concealer Formula

Let's start with a clean base. Choosing a concealer mainly depends on what works for your skin type and concerns. So, before you go shopping, make sure you know what you're looking for.

Liquid concealer

Liquid concealer is the most versatile option. Firstly, it is suitable for disguising dark circles under the eyes and for disguising pimples, scars and other skin imperfections. Secondly, it is ideal for dry, normal, oily or combination skin types. It's easy to use, and the formula is usually smart, meaning you can get light coverage to full, coverage.

In addition, liquid concealers come in a variety of finishes, from matte to satin (with a dewy effect). Also, with this type of concealer there is the least risk of clogging pores, so if you have sensitive or problematic skin, it is better to use this product. Just never, never (!!!) apply the product from the tube directly to the skin - this way you will introduce bacteria from the pimples into the jar and it would be better to throw the product away. Apply a little concealer to the back of your hand, and then with your finger or brush to the problem area.

Cream concealer

If you have dry or combination skin type, a cream concealer is perfect. High-quality products also have a “smart” formula, so the thickness of the coverage depends on how many layers of cream you apply. Among them there are also products with a matte or satin finish.

Their formula and consistency are thick enough to hide significant discoloration on the skin - from dark circles to red pimples and brown spots.

Sometimes concealer creams have a tendency to "creep" when worn for a long time, which almost never happens with a liquid concealer. But the solution to the problem is very simple - fix the creamy concealer with powder or a fixative spray, and it will stay in place all day.

Concealer stick

Sticks are a blessing for dry and sensitive skin. Depending on the product chosen, they blend into the skin and give a matte or satin finish. This type of concealer is quite thick, with medium to full coverage. It is the most difficult to blend, so it is not suitable as an under-eye concealer.

Also, stick concealers, due to their thick formula, can clog pores, so they are not recommended for use by girls with sensitive, acne-prone, oily and combination skin.

In addition, stick concealers often “leave their post,” even if you set them with powder. Therefore, makeup artists recommend not to do this. It’s better to carry this lifesaver with you and renew the coating. If you apply concealer in a stick to your skin after powder, it will clump up and your skin will look like a layer cake.

How to choose a concealer tone

Color theory plays a big role in masking each specific skin problem. The trick is that different skin concerns require different colors and textures. To ensure your concealer matches your skin tone, choose a shade that is half a shade lighter than your foundation (or skin tone). It is necessary to pay attention to such marks on the jars as “neutral”, “cold”, “warm” and “beige”.

You can take full advantage of color theory when it comes to concealers. In a circular diagram, colors that are opposite each other on the spectrum cancel each other out. Therefore, they must be used for correction.

The following colors are important in facial makeup:

1. Green - neutralizes red
2. Orange - neutralizes blue
3. Yellow - neutralizes violet

Let us explain.

Concealer for dark circles under the eyes

If dark circles are your problem, choose warm shades to avoid visible white circles around your eyes. Blue and purple dark circles are best covered by using an orange-yellow concealer that is just a shade lighter than your skin tone. This will help hide blue discoloration and brighten the skin under your eyes. On the other hand, if you have brownish dark circles, use a peach, salmon or orange concealer. Usually, when applied, they contrast strongly with the skin, but as soon as you shade them, the complexion becomes uniform.

Covering acne and redness with concealer

Green concealers are used to neutralize redness on the face - both spider veins and acne. But they must then be masked with a concealer that matches the tone of the face. It’s easier to choose a product exactly the same tone as the foundation, but more pigmented; its density should be enough to hide pimples, spider veins, and rosacea. And for more pronounced problems, for example, acne, it is better to use green bases for makeup.

Concealer for disguising age spots and scars

Orange and peach concealers can be used along with your regular concealer to effectively cover up dark spots caused by sun damage, signs of aging or acne. They even hide freckles.

Today's makeup artists can work miracles. But even ordinary girls can do this: a corrector for dark circles under the eyes can hide traces of lack of sleep, pimples and bags. Let's talk about several important questions: what color of corrector hides dark circles under the eyes, how to properly apply corrector under the eyes and how to choose the best corrector for dark circles under the eyes, as well as what the correct corrector under the eyes is called.

Under-eye corrector: what is the correct name and how does it work?

First of all, let us remind you what the corrector under the eyes is called – concealer. But in essence, a corrector for masking circles under the eyes is just a cosmetic pencil that can hide problem areas, for example, bags, age spots, pimples, dark circles. And a good corrector for dark circles under the eyes can even cope with wrinkles.

It is worth remembering that correctors for dark circles under the eyes and foundation are very different products. The texture of the concealer is denser, so it copes with what foundation cannot. The corrector for dark circles under the eyes and other problems is applied precisely and so as not to touch less problematic skin.

To choose the ideal corrector for dark circles under the eyes, you still need to take into account the color of the foundation. When asked what color corrector to use to remove dark circles under the eyes, there is only one answer: it should be a tone or two lighter than the base. This is an ideal option and this concealer is applied before applying foundation. If their colors match, then you can apply them at the same time. Give the concealer a minute to settle on your skin.

Most often, under-eye correctors are sold in the form of pencils or in a tube. But in both cases, you will need a brush to apply them. Correctors for dark circles under the eyes in the form of pencils are often sold with a brush, as well as a button on the back to make it easier to squeeze out the required dose of the product. If the corrector for masking bags under the eyes is not equipped with a brush, then you can buy this accessory separately. You will need a small, compact and round brush, thin, but quite hard, and made of synthetic material, which is unusual.

Which corrector to remove dark circles under the eyes and disguise bags: choose by color and texture

The answer to the question of which corrector to cover dark circles under the eyes depends on its color and whether it is in harmony with your skin and foundation. So, if blue pigments dominate the color of your skin, the skin color is cold, if red pigments are warm, if there is a lot of carotene in the dermis, it will be yellowish.

The corrector for dark circles under the eyes with the ideal shade for you will neutralize excess pigments and make your skin tone even. The secret is that different colors cancel each other out. Thanks to this, you can remove blood vessels, age spots, and red spots between the eyebrows. So, a correctly selected under-eye corrector (we’ll tell you which one is best to choose for your problem) will help kill several birds with one stone.

So, if your big problem is skin redness and inflammation, choose a greenish shade of concealer. These will be able to hide the vascular network that appears due to the fact that the capillaries are located too close to the skin. By the way, you shouldn’t be afraid that you will become sallow-toned because of the concealer: the under-eye corrector only fights redness, but does not change the color of the skin. How to properly apply concealer under your eyes if you have redness? Only under foundation and small dots! By the way, this remedy will also cope with red spots, pimples and even reddish circles around the mirrors of the soul. A product with a yellow-honey tint will also suit you.

If you have purple circles or blue under-eyes, the best dark circle corrector for you should have a yellow tint. It will hide even the most expressive signs of fatigue and revitalize sallow skin. The skin will look bright and fresh, not just smooth.

For show-through eye veins, choose an under-eye concealer with an orange tint. Don't be afraid, you won't look like a clown. Additionally, the orange tint is good for hiding the blue-green circles around the mirrors of the soul. It is also ideal for combination skin, as it hides oily shine well.

If your skin has acquired a grayish tint due to illness, age, bad habits or lack of sleep, choose a corrector for dark circles under the eyes in pink tones. Like other decorative cosmetics, by the way. They perfectly mask the problems of grayish skin, refresh it if it has become dull and changes with age have become noticeable. This concealer is also suitable for oriental beauties, because it copes with their problem such as brown eye contours.

What corrector can be used to remove dark circles under the eyes if the skin tone is yellowish? Lilac, lilac or lavender! It will not only get rid of yellowness, but will also make your face radiant. This shade also removes yellow spots and freckles (especially light or even red ones). Lilac shades refresh tired skin and hide bruises, and also soften a pronounced tan. He becomes even and calm.

Let's talk about which corrector to remove dark circles under the eyes if you are blonde with freckles and reddish pigment spots. Your color is blue. It is also suitable if your skin is yellowish. It will also hide skin burned in the southern sun from sympathetic glances. Well, the blue color also disguises bruises well.
If your life and appearance are spoiled by pimples and red spots, opt for a corrector for dark circles under the eyes, which has a dense texture and contains antibacterial additives. Such a problem will not only disguise, but also defeat from the inside. By the way, if your skin is too fair, a concealer with a golden tint will also work.

If your circles are too pronounced, choose an under-eye concealer that contains reflective particles. Look on the packaging for a word such as “illuminante,” that is, lighting. True, it will not hide inflammation or redness very successfully, but it will definitely remove bags and circles. By the way, this product will help you look at least a few years younger.

There are a few more important points. So, if you have problem skin, it is better not to use a concealer with pearl. In addition, dry concealer is more suitable for mature skin. But for very young people, a more liquid gel corrector is suitable for eliminating puffiness under the eyes.

How to properly apply concealer under the eyes

The main thing to remember. We apply the corrector under the eyes pointwise and only on those areas of the skin that cause concern. We do not touch healthy skin at all. Don't forget to apply oil before the concealer. You should carry it with you in your cosmetic bag. It will soften the skin and its texture. Both cosmetic oil and almond or grape or peach seed oil are suitable. It should be applied gently and with massaging movements. During the massage, most attention is paid to those areas where the under-eye corrector will be applied. Makeup artists recommend L’Huile Revitalisant oil (manufactured by Darphin). If there is no oil, just eye cream will do. If the product is lighter than the base and your complexion, apply it under it, if it is colored (green, pink, lilac, etc.) - too. Corrective products can be applied first when creating makeup, but be sure to cleanse and moisturize your skin.

As mentioned above, for application you need a brush (either sold as a kit, or buy it at a cosmetic store). But everything is shaded only with your fingers, or rather, with their pads. We gently tap them on the face, as if we are trying to push the concealer into our skin. Don't forget to blend the edges. Now we apply our usual makeup product, be it foundation or cream.

It is most comfortable and beautiful to apply the corrector under the eyes if you have warmed your hands. In addition, some find it convenient to first apply concealer to the area near the thumb, where the back of the palm is, and then to the skin.

Wrinkles on the eyelids can be hidden with the same reflective corrector under the eyes. We brush over the wrinkle and let it dry. Then use your usual foundation.
