Common Applications:
Concealing Dark Circles: For under-eye circles, choose a shade slightly lighter than your foundation. Apply a small amount in a 'V' shape under the eye, starting from the inner corner and extending to the outer corner, then blend by gently tapping with your finger or a damp beauty sponge until seamless. Avoid rubbing.
Hiding Blemishes and Spots: For blemishes, use a shade that precisely matches your skin tone or foundation. Dot a tiny amount directly onto the blemish. Gently tap and blend the edges with a clean finger or a small brush to melt it into the skin without moving the product from the center of the blemish.
Evening Skin Tone: Apply sparingly to areas with redness or discoloration, then blend outwards. This can be used to achieve a more uniform base before or instead of foundation, especially for a 'no-makeup makeup' look.
Highlighting: While primarily a concealer, a shade one or two steps lighter than your skin tone can be used to subtly highlight high points of the face, such as the brow bone, bridge of the nose, and cupid's bow, after concealing and foundation application.
Getting Started:
Prepare Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. For optimal longevity, you may apply a primer.
Foundation First (Optional): If using foundation, apply it first. This allows you to see where additional spot concealing is needed.
Apply Concealer: Use the applicator to dot a small amount onto the areas you wish to conceal (under-eye circles, blemishes, redness).
Blend Thoroughly: Gently tap with a clean finger, a damp beauty sponge, or a concealer brush to blend the product into your skin. Focus on blending the edges for a natural transition.
Set (Optional): For extra longevity and to prevent creasing, lightly dust a translucent setting powder over the concealed areas.
Compatibility:
This concealer is generally compatible with most liquid and cream foundations. For best results, use with other Lancome Teint Idole products.
Suitable for various skin types, but individuals with very dry skin should ensure adequate moisturizing before application.
Care & Maintenance:
Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
Hygiene: Always apply with a clean applicator, finger, or tool to prevent bacteria transfer. Avoid sharing your concealer to maintain hygiene.
Expiration: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, usually a small jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M, 12M). Discard after this period for optimal performance and safety.
