Concealer

Do you know how to help make dark circles, red bumps, and other imperfections disappear? Discover the abracadabra-like power of concealer makeup from Macy’s. Along with mascara, concealer is a must-have makeup pick for its ability to cover up flaws and even out discolorations. Here’s what you need to know to find a good concealer for your skin type.

Choose the Right Concealer
Like most types of face makeup, concealer comes in a variety of formulas. Medium coverage concealer is the lightest, while full coverage concealer is completely opaque. The concealer you choose will also vary according to the skin concern you're trying to cover. To correct under-eye darkness, you’ll want an eye concealer that counters blue and purple tones but won’t irritate sensitive undereye skin. To counter red acne scars or broken capillaries, pick a colored concealer with green undertones. To help hide and treat blemishes simultaneously, look for a face concealer with drying or oil-inhibiting properties.

How to Wear It
Wear concealer by itself or with other types of makeup. While some formulas, like cream concealers, can be applied by hand, brushes allow for more precision. (Fingers are no match for high-quality makeup brushes.) For a natural, barely-there look, smooth on a tinted moisturizer, then lightly dab concealer over imperfections. Finish with a coat of mascara and tinted gloss. When you want to create a flawless look for weddings or professional pics, try using the best concealer full coverage formula over your foundation. Blend it in well before setting your face with a fine dusting of powder. A smooth, even canvas makes the ideal showcase for eye makeup and lip color.
