For concealers, the idea is that you want to go a little bit lighter than your skin tone because you’re covering a darker area,” explains Dr. Lee. By taking this route, your final look will appear more even toned. “However, if you’ve got a really red pimple, you can start with a green camouflage concealer,” she says, which will neutralize the redness before you apply the rest of your makeup. I have wanted one brand to get both concealer shades from for a long time, so MakeUp Revolution stood out as I had heard the consistency of the product is great for both concealing and contouring. My only complaint was the colour match was not quite correct. Bearing in mind I bought the light peach shade, designed for cool-toned skin, it did look a little orange on me and took some blending. As a last step, dust lightly with loose powder that matches your skin tone to set the concealer in place,” says Dr. Lee.

Eyebags are always a big issue for me, and without them covered, I feel like a makeup look is never complete. When it comes to concealing pimples, it’s a precision game,” says Dr. Lee. You can always use your fingertips or a Beautyblender, but the best tool to use is a tiny lip or eyeliner brush to “dab around the edge of the pimple and feather outwards to blend, so you’re not creating that “bullseye” look,” she says. Last but not least, 17 and Make Up Revolution have incredible concealers on the market for such a low price point.Full Coverage Concealer primary use is to create a uniform and flawless complexion by camouflaging any skin issues such as dark circles, age spots, redness, and blemishes. It is more opaque compared to other concealer levels of coverage.

I contour my face most day to be honest just because I prefer this look for my quite round cheeks and face shape. I like a full coverage and this concealer does just that. It covers dark circles effortlessly and is ideal for brightening up your undereye. It also works well for covering up any spots or blemishes.

I did find it blended well and a small amount of product goes a long way. I wouldn’t say it’s highly pigmented, but it is buildable without being cakey to offer a more full-coverage look. I was pleased with the results, which offered a crease-free appearance under my eyes, making them look brighter and smoother.

Hydrating Concealer provides coverage for imperfections on your skin but also helps hydrate your skin. It is formulated with ingredients to moisturize and nourish your skin providing a smoother and more radiant complexion. To pull this off, liquid or cream concealers are often your best bet since these formulas tend to "look very natural on the skin and have lasting power on dry skin that enables them to remain flawless all day," says makeup artist Erika La'Pearl, whose clients include Cardi B. It's also key that your choice of concealer comes with hydrating ingredients; makeup artist Leticia Meyers looks for hyaluronic acid, a well-known humectant that can help skin retain water, as well as peptides and vitamin E. It wasn’t heavily scented. All in all a very nice, effective product worthy of its 5 stars! Works as good as my Estée Lauder at a fraction of the price!! 10/10!"

After foundation is applied, take “a tiny — and clean — lip or eyeliner brush and dab concealer around the inside perimeter of the pimple,” she instructs. Be very careful to avoid really heavy products. You should try to find both a concealer and a foundation that’s formulated to not clog pores, “especially if you have a pretty oily complexion,” says Dr. Lee, who adds that heavy cream-based or petroleum-based products can easily promote more breakouts. Most importantly, occlusion is often one of the first steps in the development of a pimple, so preventing it from happening in the first place is key. Other than that, I have no complaints. The formula is beautiful and I definitely found my new favourite concealer. e.l.f. clean means we go above and beyond EU Cosmetic Regulation and FDA requirements by voluntarily removing more than the required 1,600 ingredients. Avoid touching any of the healthy skin around the blemish, and you should also steer clear of the very center.
