The Too Faced BTW Super Coverage Concealer is celebrated for its ability to deliver an airbrushed finish when used correctly. Here's how to maximize its potential:
For Concealing Blemishes and Dark Spots:
Prepare Skin: Ensure your skin is moisturized and primed.
Apply Sparingly: Use the doe-foot applicator to apply a small dot directly onto the imperfection or dark area. For under-eyes, apply a few dots along the dark crescent, avoiding the innermost corner directly under the tear duct if not needed.
Blend: Gently tap and blend the product with a damp beauty sponge, a concealer brush, or your ring finger. Use a dabbing motion to press the product into the skin rather than rubbing.
Set (Optional): For extended wear or to prevent creasing, lightly set with a translucent setting powder using a fluffy brush.
For Brightening Under-Eyes:
Choose Shade: Select a shade 1-2 tones lighter than your skin tone.
Apply: Draw an inverted triangle shape under your eyes, with the base along your lash line and the point extending down towards your cheek.
Blend: Blend thoroughly with a damp sponge or brush, ensuring no harsh lines remain.
Set: A light dusting of setting powder can lock it in place.
For Contouring:
Choose Shade: Select a shade 2-3 tones deeper than your natural skin tone.
Apply: Apply to areas you wish to recede, such as the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, and temples, or along the sides of your nose.
Blend: Blend upwards and outwards using a dense brush or sponge for a seamless shadow effect.
For Highlighting:
Choose Shade: Select a shade 2-3 tones lighter than your skin tone.
Apply: Apply to the high points of your face, such as the top of your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, cupid's bow, and brow bone.
Blend: Lightly tap to blend, keeping the product concentrated on the high points for a luminous effect.
First Use & Patch Testing: Before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of product to an inconspicuous area like behind the ear or on the inner arm. Wait 24 hours to observe any adverse reactions.
Compatibility:
Skin Types: This concealer is generally suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, combination, and normal skin. Its hydrating formula makes it particularly friendly for dry or mature skin.
Makeup Compatibility: It works well over most foundations and primers. For best results, use with water-based or silicone-based foundations that complement the concealer's formula.
Care & Maintenance:
Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. High heat can alter the product's consistency.
Hygiene: Always ensure the cap is tightly twisted closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain hygiene.
Applicator Cleaning: While the applicator is designed for direct skin contact, avoid touching it to visibly dirty surfaces. Do not wash the applicator directly; if it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a clean tissue before reinserting it.
