Liquid concealer

Every woman strives for the perfect image, but it can not be achieved if you have any complaints about the skin of the face. Women of all ages pay so much attention to face care. In this regard, irreplaceable assistants are concealers - special cosmetics that mask local imperfections on the skin.

Liquid concealer is a well-deserved product due to its multifunctionality and efficiency. It is designed to work in sensitive areas of the face - around the lips and eyes, near the wings of the nose. It is usually recommended to impose on dry, oily, as well as ultra-sensitive skin.

This tool is effective in the fight against fine wrinkles, redness, dark circles and bags under the eyes. Due to the light texture, it is almost not clogged in the pores. However, it should be borne in mind that it is because of its liquid consistency that it does little to disguise acne and pimples, so it must be used strictly for its intended purpose.

The functional advantages of the liquid concealer are due to the fact that it:

• safe when used on sensitive areas of the face;
• effectively fights redness;
• thanks to the light-reflecting function, it masks the traces of lack of sleep (bruises), as well as bags under the eyes and wrinkles;
• contributes to the masking of enlarged pores and small vascular reticulum;
• having the effect of lightening, effectively hides uneven in color with respect to areas;
• due to the presence of vitamins and antioxidants in the composition, it improves the overall condition of the skin and improves its tone.

In the narrow professional sense, a liquid concealer is a specific cosmetic product that is not identical to a proofreader, although both of these products can mask skin imperfections. When compared with the corrector, it can be noted that the liquid concealer has a number of special properties, which include the following:

• light translucent texture;
• almost unlimited compatibility with other tonal means;
• the admissibility of its use to cover large areas;
• the lack of colors (which is characteristic of the corrector), the presence of a rich palette of nudes;
• the ability not to dry the skin (which is typical for a corrector), but to moisturize it;
• the need to use it instead of foundation or after it (which is not typical for the corrector, which should be applied to him).

The range of masking cosmetics is very diverse. To choose a suitable option among their numerous brands and brands, you should know that concealer can have a different consistency, which ultimately determines its narrow functional purpose.

Products of this type can be divided into different types (depending on the consistency): liquid, cream, dry, pencils and sticks.

Unlike other types of masking cosmetics, a liquid concealer is characterized by the ease of substance used. For this reason, it is intended for those areas of the face that are highly sensitive, namely, for the eye zone, the lip area, the wings of the nose.

Now liquid masking tools are often produced with various additional, "finishing" functions, according to which they are classified. In one group allocate funds, characterized by increased durability and creating a matte effect. The other group includes special “satin” concealers, which provide a more natural degree of makeup. Compositions containing light reflecting particles form a separate variety.

It should be borne in mind that this kind of additional features vary considerably (depending on the manufacturer).

The correct choice of the masking product is a prerequisite for the effectiveness of its application. To select the most suitable cosmetic composition for the skin of your face, follow the following general guidelines:

• clearly identify those areas on the skin of the face that need adjustment;
• buy the kind of concealer, the density of which strictly corresponds to the area of ​​the upcoming application;
• take into account the nature of the ratio of the color of your skin and cosmetic product;
• for the correct selection not to make a purchase in artificial lighting conditions;
• To verify the correctness of the choice of shade, conduct its test test.

Liquid concealer is effectively used to solve problems in the eye area. For the face, in the area of ​​the eyes, it is precisely the delicate consistency of the cosmetic product that is required, since in this area the thin veins on the thin skin are very visible.

If you are going to start applying a liquid concealer, you need to figure out how to use it correctly. The main recommendations for its use are as follows:

• since the area under the eyes is especially characterized by wrinkles, do not use a tool that has a dense consistency (it will not last long on the skin), give preference to the liquid composition;
• before applying liquid concealer on dry skin under the eyes, use a cream designed for the eyes;
• for an additional effect of lightening the desired area around the eyes, choose a product with reflective pigments and vitamin K, enhancing the effect of lightening the skin;

• To avoid unpleasant clogging of the liquid masking agent in wrinkles, use a mixture of concealer and primer (you can replace the primer with a light serum);
• do not use an oily base;
• to increase the adhesion of the liquid masking agent to the skin, it is recommended to apply colorless transparent powder to the area under the eyes before applying it;

• for masking defects on the skin around the eyes, give preference to those compositions that are definitely lighter than your skin (by 1-2 tones).

Professional masking tools are easy to use. They are applied dotted (on a pre-laid foundation). In this case, it is usually recommended to drive such a remedy into the problem area with slight movements of the fingers, and then to shade with a special brush or a moistened sponge.

Rub concealer into the skin can not, so you can damage the delicate areas. Excessive rubbing can also lead to the application of too visible a layer of funds.

When working with concealer, makeup artists give preference to the brush, as it provides not only the necessary hygiene, but also more thorough shading.

When applying concealer on the area around the eyes should not forget about some of the technical nuances:

• the application of a liquid agent for masking circles under the eyes should be carried out in accordance with the “inverted triangle” rule, according to which not only the area under the eyes is processed, but also the part of the cheek adjacent to it;
• to give a face freshness, this product must be applied to the area of ​​the inner corners of the eyes;
• it should be shaded directly at the base of the growth of the lower lashes.

Having completed the procedure of imposing the concealer on the places intended for him, it is necessary to allocate some time for his drying. If you see that he has formed a kind of “whole” with the face and does not stand out as a separate spot, you can begin to apply foundation. It should be borne in mind that under concealer in particularly sensitive areas (for example, under the eyes) the foundation is not applied.

The choice of the type of masking cosmetic product also depends on the season.For example, during periods of high temperature it is better to impose a dry concealer. During hot weather, it is recommended to use powder: it not only helps to secure it securely, but also gives the face a pleasant matte shade.

Reviews of women who regularly use the liquid concealer, indicate that the majority considers it not only convenient in daily use, but also highly effective. It really helps to cope with many imperfections of the skin - without causing her any harm.
