This super coverage concealer is a versatile tool for achieving a refined complexion. Here’s how to maximize its performance:
Prep: Ensure the under-eye area is moisturized and hydrated. Consider using a hydrating eye cream.
Apply: Dot a small amount of concealer directly onto the darkest areas of your under-eye circles. Focus on the inner corner and just below the lash line.
Blend: Gently pat and blend the product outwards using your ring finger, a damp beauty sponge, or a soft concealer brush. Use light tapping motions to press the product into the skin rather than rubbing.
Set: For extended wear and to minimize creasing, lightly dust a translucent or setting powder over the concealed area.
Target: Apply a tiny amount directly onto the blemish or area of redness.
Blend Carefully: Using a small, precise brush or the tip of your ring finger, lightly tap and feather the edges of the applied product to blend it seamlessly into the surrounding skin. Avoid wiping, which can remove the coverage.
Build: If needed, allow the first thin layer to set for a moment before applying another small dot for additional coverage.
For general brightening (using the Vanilla shade on lighter skin tones or a lighter shade for others), apply a thin line or small dots to:
The center of the forehead.
Down the bridge of the nose.
On the Cupid's bow.
On the chin.
Then, blend gently outwards to illuminate these high points of the face. Always blend until there are no harsh lines.
There is no specific 'setup' required for this product. However, preparing your skin is essential for optimal application:
Cleanse & Moisturize: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Allow your moisturizer to fully absorb before applying makeup.
Prime (Optional but Recommended): For longer wear and a smoother canvas, apply a makeup primer suited for your skin type, especially in areas where you plan to apply concealer.
Foundations: This concealer is generally compatible with most liquid, cream, and powder foundations. Apply it either before or after foundation, depending on your preferred coverage and finish. Many users find applying concealer after foundation provides more targeted coverage.
Setting Powders: Works well with both loose and pressed setting powders to lock in coverage and prevent creasing.
Storage: Store the concealer upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the doe-foot applicator directly to active breakouts or highly irritated skin. If you do, clean the applicator by wiping it gently with a clean tissue before reinserting it into the tube.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, typically found on the packaging, which indicates how many months the product is good for after opening (e.g., 6M for 6 months).
