As the word suggests, an eye make up concealer performs
the dual role of acting as a foundation and also hiding those blemishes
which can be found in the vicinity of the eye. Concealers when applied
should hide those trouble spots and not emphasize them, so the
formulation is usually denser than the ordinary foundations.
If
carefully applied it can do wonders and can produce a flawless
complexion. These best eye make- up concealers are available as creams
and can also be found in the form of tubes and sticks. An eye make- up
concealer that is not soluble in water would be ideal.
A light and creamy cocealer that is rich in vitamins and will not only lighten
areas which are dark but also will even out tones of the skin is a good
thing to have. AS is with eye shadow, the eye make up concealer should match skin tone.
The areas to which the concealer must first be applied are the inside of
the nose bridge and the outer corners of the eye. One important thing to
be remembered is that the application should be gentle. Ensure that the
concealer is spread over the required area and also see that it does not
get into the grooves of the fine lines around the eye. Once this happens
the whole effect can be very unnatural, as the concealer tends to
congeal. A little bit of moisturizer applied before the concealer is
applied or mixing the concealer with a foundation helps to blend the
colors of the make-up. Mixing with an eye cream is even better for the
overall effect is absolutely even and smooth. To test whether the
concealer is the one that is suited for you, apply a little on a blue
vein on your hand. If the vein can no longer be seen then it is just the
thing for you.

The best eye make up concealer will depend on what you want to conceal.
If you want to reduce the redness in an area, use a color correcting
make- up concealer in green. Likewise, a yellow concealer will cover
bluish tinges and if you want to do away with those dark circles under
the eyes, use a concealer which is lighter than yellow and creamy in
texture. Indian women have been known to apply a mixture of tomato
juice, lemon juice and turmeric to remove dark circles under the eye. A
thick opaque concealer is the best to hide a birthmark or a scar and if
it is only a small flaw that you want to conceal, a pencil concealer is
the best. |
A brush on concealer is perfect when you just want to slightly touch up
an area. Pimples require a medicated concealer. Use a liquid concealer
if you happen to have a dry skin and if you are one of those who have a
very sensitive skin, use a concealer which has mineral colors. For
getting rid of those bags under the eyes Ayurveda seems to
have solution. In India gels containing green tea,
cucumber and aloe are used widely. So, use the concealers and bask in
its reflected glory.~
