Concealer

How to choose concealer

Use concealer on small areas where you want to hide something: dark circles under the eyes, pigmentation spots, redness around the nose or an individual blemish. When choosing concealer, there are three things to consider: shade, coverage and texture.

• Shade: For under the eyes, many people choose a shade slightly lighter than their skin to make the area look more rested. For spots and blemishes, the shade should match your skin exactly, otherwise the spot will be lighter than the rest of your face. Always test in daylight.
• Coverage: Consider how much you want to cover. ECOOKING Concealer has medium coverage and gives a natural result. If you want more coverage, apply an extra thin layer.
• Texture: If you have dry or mature skin around your eyes, look for a creamy, moisturising concealer that feels comfortable.

Concealer or foundation first?

The most common order is: skincare, optional primer, then foundation and finally concealer. Once foundation is on, you can see how much still needs covering, and you use less concealer. You can easily use concealer without foundation, for example with a CC Cream or on its own wherever needed. Dab concealer on with your fingertip or a brush, and blend it around the edges with light dabs rather than rubbing.
