Concealer: our tips for choosing the right concealer and applying it like a pro

Because it can camouflage the vestiges of a too-short night, a small pimple or even localized redness, thedark circle remover is undoubtedly THE product to be found in every make-up kit. In fact, if there were only one product to have (even before foundation, yes yes!), this would be it. The reason? Precisely because it's multi-functional, since it can actually be applied to all areas of the face, in dabs. It gives an immediate "bonne-mine" effect to all skin tones, without exception.

But beware: depending on its texture, the shade chosen and the way it's applied, if you choose the wrong anti-dark circle product, it can also have the opposite effect, looking cruelly unnatural! Finally, it's important to bear in mind that an anti-dark circle product has its limits: when dark circles are strongly marked - unfortunately, the reason for this is mainly genetic - you may need to consider investing in a good eye contour (caffeine-based, for example, to stimulate blood circulation). If imperfections or blemishes are also very pronounced, it's best to precede them with a slightly green concealerto neutralize the red, before using the concealer.

• To maintain a natural effect, avoid applying your concealer to areas that are already light. 
• Dark circle concealer that fades into the features? If you're sure you've got the right concealer, it may be that the eye cream you applied beforehand is too rich. Remove the excess with a tissue or mattifying paper. 
• When the finish is too thick, it's because there's too much material. It's better to add material gradually, work it in, then add more if necessary, and so on. 
• Use a dark circle remover brightener on imperfections: more and more anti-dark circle products feature light-reflecting pigments that are great on dark circles and shadows... but less so on blemishes, as they highlight them. So make sure you've got the right one ;-)

• Using a concealer that's too light has the opposite effect: it makes you look bad and, once again, highlights the imperfections you've tried to conceal. When in doubt, use the darkest shade.
• But once you've identified your skin type and your need for coverage, it's much easier to make the right choice. Of course, our job as Beauty Experts is to guide you: so if you still have any questions, don't hesitate to write to us at consultation@ohmycream.com!
