The Too Faced BTW Super Coverage Concealer is engineered for situations where maximum coverage and a refined finish are paramount. Its super coverage formula allows you to effectively address concerns such as dark undereye circles, blemishes, redness, or hyperpigmentation.
To achieve a flawless complexion and optimize performance:
For Undereyes: Apply a small amount in a triangle shape under the eye, with the base along your lash line and the point extending down towards your cheek. Gently blend with a damp beauty sponge or your ring finger, dabbing lightly until seamless. This technique helps brighten the entire area.
For Blemishes & Redness: Dot a tiny amount directly onto the imperfection. Tap gently with your finger or a small brush to blend the edges into your surrounding skin, ensuring the center of the dot remains covered for maximum camouflage.
For Overall Brightening & Sculpting: Choose a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone and apply to the high points of your face, such as the bridge of your nose, center of the forehead, cupid's bow, and chin. Blend outwards for a subtle brightening and lifting effect.
The smooth and natural finish ensures that even with its high coverage, your skin still looks like skin, avoiding an artificial appearance. It sets well, but for prolonged wear and to prevent creasing, especially in dynamic areas like under the eyes, light setting with a translucent powder is recommended. This concealer is perfect for both daily use to achieve a polished look and for special occasions requiring long-lasting, impeccable coverage.
Skin Preparation: For best results, ensure your skin is clean, well-moisturized, and if desired, primed before application. This creates a smooth canvas for the concealer to adhere to.
Shade Selection: The Shortbread shade is designed for specific skin undertones. When selecting, consider your skin's undertone (cool, warm, neutral) and choose a shade that either matches your foundation perfectly for spot concealing, or one shade lighter for brightening under the eyes. If unsure, test a small amount on your jawline in natural light.
Blending Tools: Use a damp beauty sponge, a dedicated concealer brush, or your clean fingertips for blending. Dabbing or patting motions are typically more effective for coverage than swiping, as they press the product into the skin.
Layering: While this concealer offers super coverage, if extremely stubborn imperfections remain, allow the first thin layer to set slightly before applying a second, even thinner layer. Build coverage gradually.
This concealer is generally compatible with most liquid, cream, and powder foundations, primers, and setting powders. For optimal results, consider pairing it with other Too Faced products designed to work synergistically. It is suitable for most skin types due to its smooth finish, but individuals with extremely dry skin should ensure thorough moisturization beforehand to prevent accentuating dry patches.
Hygiene: To maintain product integrity and prevent bacterial growth, avoid directly touching the applicator to blemishes or other skin concerns, then reinserting it into the tube. Instead, dispense a small amount onto a clean surface (e.g., the back of your hand or a mixing palette) and apply with a clean brush or sponge.
Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely tightened after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its consistency.
Shelf Life: Most makeup products have a PAO (Period After Opening) symbol (e.g., 6M or 12M). Adhere to this guideline for best performance, safety, and hygiene. Discard after the recommended period.
