HOW TO APPLY CONCEALER | 2 WAYS

[Music] okay guys so the first thing that I do is I take my concealer and I'm going to be using the L'Oreal True Match concealer super blendable concealer in the color medium deep but what I do is I draw an upside down triangle under my eyes just like this it's really important that you get all the way in those corners all the way under your eye without getting it in your eyes and then I just fill in the triangle that means I will do the other eye now again I'm taking a little bit off of the applicator so that it's not just gunky and I'm going to get really deep into that corner there [Music] and I just fill it in like that so the next thing that I do is I actually wait a few minutes I wait for it to not dry completely but for it to dry a little bit because this particular concealer happens to be very liquidy if your concealer is more creamy than you don't have to wait that long maybe just a few seconds but for this I like to wait about a minute before I do anything the whole point of waiting is so that the concealer would become a little bit more like almost like tacky in a way so that you can blend it in better and so that you don't end up just wiping it off with whatever you're using so while we're waiting I will just tell you guys what the next step is gonna be so what I use where my concealer is either my finger or I will use the smaller end of a Beauty Blender and I'm gonna show you guys both methods today so I'm gonna take my index finger and I am just going back chily I think I use my middle finger and I'm just going to press into the concealer like this just basically bouncing my fingers off like so you really just want to continue to press into your skin you're not tugging you're not swiping or moving it like that at all you're really just pressing it in like that so don't do any of this any swiping just simply bounce it off and you really really want to focus on the line that it makes so that you don't get that like you can tell where the concealer and the foundation fades the whole point is to have a very smooth transition between the concealer and the foundation okay and that's what you do don't worry we're not done yet so the other option is to use a Beauty Blender and your Beauty Blender should always be damp not wet not dry but damp so you just want to wring it out after you wash it and so mine is damp right now and I'm taking the smaller side like I said and I'm just going to bounce it same exact thing that you do with your finger and this works for concealer the whole bouncing motion because it just helps it to be more of like an airbrushed finish as opposed to like it having a whole bunch of streaks because you really don't want that okay and usually what I do with the extra that I have on here is I'll just go down my nose as like a sort of highlight but yeah that's it you can see this is even easier than using your finger but if you don't have a Beauty Blender then by all means use your finger I don't like using brushes because I find that they always give me creases at this point your concealer is done and it looks okay but to really blend it in well what I usually do is I'll take a tiny bit of my foundation I'll get a little bit of foundation onto my foundation brush and I will just along the sort of line that I have just blend it even more just like this now as you can see those lines that make it so obvious are kind of disappearing [Music] [Music] there you go so now the concealer is all blended out and you can't see the lines or anything like that it's just a smooth transition and it gives your face a really beautiful glow and it's a great start for your highlighting and contouring so I hope you guys enjoyed this video I hope that it was helpful visit my website Hey look out Oh calm if you guys have any questions I'll put these steps that I use on there and the exact products that I used for this so I hope you guys enjoyed this thank you so much for watching and I will talk to you later bye
