Best Concealer To Fake Perfect Skin
There’s nothing worse then waking up in the morning with a huge pimple, especially on a day when you need to look your best. In today’s competitive market, you need to look and feel good about yourself in order to appear confident and professional. Even if you are lucky and don’t suffer from acne, there are still age spots, wrinkles, and other skin blemishes that can reek havoc on your complexion. So what should you do when you wake up with less then perfect skin?
There are a ton of tricks out there to help cover pimples and smooth out problem skin, but it helps to narrow it down and target specific skin issues to zap skin blemishes and promote beautiful, vibrant skin. Here are a few common skin problems that can be easily remedied:
Breakouts: The best way to prevent acne from occurring is to invest in a good skin care routine and stick to it religiously! Find a noncomedgenic cleanser that is gentle on your skin, yet exfoliates. Noncomedogenic (also called non-occlusive) simply means that a product such as an oil, lotion, or cleanser won’t clog your pores, which can help to reduce acne. A good tip is to wash your face at least once a day. Don’t you dare go to sleep with make up on, no matter how tired you may be!
Once a breakout happens, nip it in the bud by using a glycolic acid face wash that can help to exfoliate the skin by allowing old skin cells to release and promote revitalization of skin cells by minimizing pores and reducing the appearance of blackheads and acne.
Next, use a good cover up such as AmazingConcealer by AmazingCosmetics, which can be considered the best concealer out there. Apply it with a cotton swab to smooth out the edges of your blemish. This particular concealer is ultra pigmented, so a little dot will go a long way to cover pimples.
Dark Under-Eye Circles: Nothing ages a woman like dark circles under the eyes. Whether they are caused by stress, lack of sufficient sleep, or poor genetics, dark bags under the eyes can really take a toll on the over all complexion. Before applying makeup, nourish the sensitive skin around the eye area with a light eye cream. This will keep your skin dewy and moist, and will allow makeup to absorb and not crease. Next, apply three dots of a yellow-toned cover up (I suggest Amazing Concealer, which I think is the best concealer) that is one shade lighter than the rest of your foundation to the inner corner and underneath the eyes. Gently pat with your pinky finger or a soft makeup sponge to blend evenly. Follow up with a sweep of translucent powder if desired.
Uneven Skin Tone: If you find that you have uneven patches of skin that are red, blotchy, or brown, you may have hyperpigmentation, which can be caused by sun exposure, hormone changes, allergic reactions of medicine or cosmetics, or scarring from acne. Whatever the cause, it is possible to even out your skin tone. A good tinted moisturizer may be all you need to fix the problem; but, if you are like most women, a cover up may be needed to fully remedy the situation and create flawless looking skin.
After moisturizing, apply a foundation that matches your skin tone. If you are not sure if a color is right for you, you can easily visit a makeup expert at a cosmetics department to find the right shade. It’s something that is worth taking the time to discover. Once you apply a light foundation, look in the mirror and banish any dark spots or red areas with a few dots of concealer, followed by a sweep of a light mineral powder that will set your foundation.
There are many factors that can change the quality of your skin from day to day: the weather, stress levels, the amount of sleep you get, and even your menstrual cycle. Be prepared to combat anything that comes up with a bag of tricks for fighting redness and covering pimples, and you’ll be ready for anything that comes your way!
