For Concealing Blemishes and Redness:
Apply a tiny dot of concealer directly onto the imperfection.
Gently tap and blend the edges with your fingertip, a small brush, or a damp beauty sponge until seamless.
For stubborn spots, allow the first layer to set for a minute before applying a second, thin layer.
For Brightening Under-Eyes:
Apply a small amount in a triangle shape under your eyes, with the base along your lash line and the point extending down towards your cheek.
Lightly pat and blend the product with a damp beauty sponge or your ring finger, focusing on the inner corner and the area just below the lash line.
Avoid rubbing, as this can move the product and reduce coverage.
For Highlighting and Contouring (with complementary shades):
To highlight, choose a shade 1-2 tones lighter than your skin tone and apply to the bridge of the nose, cupid's bow, center of the forehead, and chin.
To contour, choose a shade 1-2 tones deeper than your skin tone and apply to the hollows of the cheeks, jawline, and temples.
Blend thoroughly for a sculpted yet natural appearance.
Skin Prep: Ensure your skin is moisturized and primed before application for the smoothest finish and best wear.
Less is More: Start with a small amount of product; this concealer is highly pigmented. You can always add more if needed.
Setting: For extended wear, especially in oily areas or under the eyes, lightly set with a translucent powder using a fluffy brush.
Layering: This concealer layers well over various foundations without pilling or looking heavy.
First Use: Before initial application, ensure the product is at room temperature. Twist open the cap to access the wand applicator.
Patch Test: While generally safe, if you have sensitive skin, consider performing a small patch test on an inconspicuous area (e.g., behind the ear) to check for any adverse reactions.
Foundation Compatibility: This concealer is designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of liquid, cream, and powder foundations. Its hydrating formula helps it blend well without clashing.
Skincare Compatibility: It performs best over well-hydrated and prepped skin. Ensure any serums or moisturizers have fully absorbed before application.
Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types, particularly normal to dry due to its hydrating properties. For oily skin, consider setting with powder to enhance longevity.
Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its texture and efficacy.
Cap Security: Always ensure the cap is securely twisted back on after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain hygiene.
Hygiene: Avoid sharing your concealer with others. If you use a brush or sponge for application, ensure these tools are cleaned regularly to prevent bacterial buildup.
