]]>No matter how well you have mastered contouring or how far you have perfected the dewy-complexion effect, the odd zit still threatens to pop up at the worst possible times and throw you off your makeup game.
In Nam Vo’s video, she demonstrates a fantastic technique for covering pimples. The secret? Using a different concealer for your zits than for your under-eyes.
“OK, so, first of all, you want to use a concealer maybe half a shade or a shade darker than your skin tone,” she explains. “Under my eyes, I usually wear something that’s a little bit lighter, but if you want to cover a zit, you wanna go deeper.”
It turns out that by using a lighter concealer, you actually draw attention to the zit by brightening it when what you really want to do is the opposite.
“And then I’m using a foundation powder that’s more dense and has more coverage. And I tap not only the zit, but I tap the area around the zit so everything matches,” she continues. “”And the secret, also, is don’t use a big brush.”

]]>The way to transform your face is called ‘baking.’ For this technique you use liquid concealer and cover it with lots of powder, wait for 10 minutes and brush the excess powder off. Most celebrities and youtube make up tutorials are now incorporating baking into their make up routines.
If you use liquid foundation or concealer, you already know that it gives you full coverage and is much easier to control. The problem is, when it sets, it doesn’t mitigate oil production and so your body temperature helps the liquid part of the formula evaporate.
By adding lots of powder on top, you trap the liquid. This is sort of like an oven, hence the name baking, and this will evaporate the liquids faster. When your face produces moisture during the day the areas you have baked will re-hydrate and bring you back to neutral.
Pick your favorite liquid concealer and a strong translucent powder, that doesn’t contain titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Kim Kardashian and Huda Beauty make powder, especially for baking. Use a beauty sponge and a large fluffy brush. Apply the concealer and blend it with the sponge then put on lots of powder. Wait for at least 10 mins. Brush off the excess powder. Baking works well on places where your concealer tends to move around during the day.
Please note: if you have dry skin, try to use a setting spray to take out the extra moisture and not give you the feeling of lots of makeup.

]]>Here are five concealer mistakes you are probably making and what you ought to be doing instead.
Most women are guilty of applying concealer first. After all, it makes sense to cover the target areas and then paint over. The trouble is, when you apply concealer first, most of it gets removed when you brush on your foundation. You should actually start with foundation and use a small amount of concealer on your zits/dark circles at the end.
Do you apply your concealer with a brushstroke beneath your eyes? You should actually be drawing an upside-down triangle. This way, you are concealing the dark areas rather than drawing attention to them with concealer.
Applying concealer to your eyelids is actually a great way to skip out on primer. It prevents creasing and makes your shadow stay on better throughout the day.
There is actually nothing wrong with using one shade of concealer but if you want to contour, buying two pencil concealers is a great way to highlight your cheekbones. One should be darker than your natural skin tone while the other should be a couple of shades lighter.
Adding concealer to moisturizer is a great way to create your own tinted moisturizer. It will hydrate your skin and leave it looking extra smooth.
