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.”

Here are five concealer mistakes you are probably making and what you ought to be doing instead.

#1 Applying Concealer First

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.

#2 Applying a Stroke Under Your Eyes

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.

#3 Skipping Eyelids

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.

#4 Using One Shade Only

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.

#5 Forgetting to Moisturize

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.

Don’t Use Too Much of It

The point of concealer is to cover the dark circles under your eyes and that’s the only area that really needs it. Don’t apply it all over your cheek and eyelid.

Use a Brush

A brush will help you be more precise and to not apply too much of the product. You can then use your finger to blend it.

Blend Well

Lightly tap the product into your skin for the best effect.

Set it With Powder

This step is optional, but if your skin type is oily, especially around your eyes, you may want to set the concealer with powder so it stays in place all day long. If your skin is dry, the setting powder can only make things worse.

There’s one trick that you may not know that can help you cover everything you don’t want to be seen without looking obvious. In fact, everyone will think that’s just how your skin naturally looks!

This advice is equally useful when you have a face full of makeup and when you don’t want to put anything on. The technique is called micro-concealing and it helps you apply the concealer in the right way so it blends with the skin.

What Are You Doing Wrong Now?

Many women don’t like how concealer looks on their face, but it’s not difficult to change that. The most common mistakes you may be making are using your fingers to apply it and putting too much product on.

Micro-concealing requires a thin brush (the thinnest you can find) that you’ll use to get the tiniest amount of concealer. You apply that tiny amount of concealer on the desired place and then use a finger to blend it out.

It’s that simple! Have you already tried micro-concealing?

The hype surrounding the concealer comes from the fact that Charlotte Tilbury has been working on the formula for 20+ years. She claims it will reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, bags and cover up blemishes in just one swipe. It also promises to last for 15 hours.

Speaking to Glamour, the beauty entrepreneur said of the product: “For me, the perfect concealer didn’t exist; there’s been nothing I’ve found like this on the market, until now!”

She continued: “I have always found that concealers either cover blemishes momentarily and then tend to cake around a spot, drying the skin, and leaving it poking through, or they do disguise it but it’s so heavy, it leaves you looking far too chalky.

“The ones I tried were often chalky, cakey or drying. There was never one that provided flawless, poreless-looking coverage. I liken it to a magic wand because it makes your skin wishes come true. It targets the spots that need concealing, stretches over areas you want to appear smooth and helps covers up tricky red patches.”

When Glamour reviewed the product, they agreed that it is the best concealer out there and that Charlotte’s description of the wand as ‘Spanx for your eyes’ was definitely true.
