Nalo's Notes: Undercover Beauty A Concealer Guide

From pots, tubes, wands, sticks, liquid, crème, or powder form, concealer is one product that you should have in your makeup arsenal.  It can be the secret solution to making you look more rested and refreshed. Choose a concealer based on your complexions coverage needs. We suggest using one that gives sheer coverage with light reflecting properties as well as helps minimize fine lines. Always set your concealer with a powder which will make it last longer and absorb shine. Place the concealer under your eyes, on the bridge of your nose, cheekbones and chin. Finding the right shade can often be a challenge for us, but ESSENCE.com is here to help!  Shades with warmer tones from gold's to orange's work best as they prevent darker skin from turning ashy. Select a warm tone one to two shades lighter than your natural skin tone.

Use a pink, gold, or neutral color like Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Protector, $7.09, drugstores, in Light/Medium.  It fully conceals and is hydrating and visibly brightens for instant radiance, giving you a younger look.

 

Try a neutral, gold, or peach tones concealer.  We suggest Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer in Medium or Medium/Deep, $10.49, drugstores.  It instantly revitalizes, brightens and products against fine lines.
