Concealer

Foundation is designed to even the skin tone and create a flawless canvas. But what if you have a few errant blemishes? Or dark circles under your eyes? Or redness around the nose? That’s where concealer comes in. Apply after foundation for precise color correction–and voilá! A flawless face is revealed.

Our best-selling Brighten and Correct Duo concealer is the 2-in-1 product everyone needs. If you find normal concealer makeup doesn’t give you the brightening effect you want under your eyes, you’re going to love the brightening pearls and plant extracts that instantly reduce darkness. Plus, the correcting side provides high pigment coverage to cover any and all imperfections on the face.

On the days your skin is looking particularly clear, it’s nice to limit the number of products you put on your face. Show off your natural beauty with just a face concealer, especially one you can trust to cover when necessary. Combined with a little blush and mascara, you’ll be impressed with the impact of just a few makeup products.

To apply concealer, start with a clean and moisturized face. After applying foundation, if used, apply concealer to areas that need additional coverage, like blemishes, dark circles, or redness. Use a concealer brush, sponge, or your fingertip to dab the product onto the targeted area. Gently blend by tapping or patting motions until it seamlessly merges with your foundation.

Concealer is typically applied to areas that require extra coverage, such as under-eye circles, blemishes, redness, and any other imperfections you want to conceal. It can also be applied to highlight specific features like the bridge of the nose and the cupid's bow.

Concealer is used to cover up blemishes, dark circles, redness, and other imperfections that may not be fully covered by foundation alone. It provides additional coverage and helps create a more even complexion.

Concealer is generally applied after foundation. This order allows you to see how much coverage you still need from your foundation after applying concealer. It also ensures a more natural and seamless finish, as foundation can blend and soften the edges of the concealed areas.

Concealer can be slightly lighter than your foundation, especially when used for brightening under the eyes. However, for blemishes and spots, it's better to match the concealer shade to your foundation to avoid emphasizing those areas.

To choose the right concealer shade, match it to your skin tone and undertone. For under-eye concealer, you can go one or two shades lighter to brighten the area. Test the concealer shade on your jawline in natural light to ensure a seamless blend.

For under-eye concealer, apply it in an upside-down triangle shape under your eyes, extending to your cheeks. Use a concealer brush, sponge, or fingertip to blend the product gently into the skin. Avoid dragging or tugging the delicate under-eye area.

For dark circles, use a concealer with peach or orange undertones to counteract the blue or purple hues of the dark circles. Blend well and then apply your regular concealer over it to match your skin tone. The Secret Camouflage Brighten and Correct Duo is perfect for brightening dark circles.

After applying foundation, apply concealer to areas that need coverage. Then, apply contour products to areas where you want to create depth or definition, such as the hollows of your cheeks, the sides of your nose, and your jawline. Blend both products seamlessly for a balanced look.

Concealer can be used as a light, subtle contour if you choose a shade that's a couple of shades darker than your skin tone. However, using a dedicated contour product designed for your skin tone and undertone will likely provide better results.

The longevity of concealer varies based on factors like the formula, your skin type, and how well it's set. Generally, concealer can last anywhere from 6 to 12 hours. Using a primer, setting powder, and setting spray can help extend its wear time.
