Under Eye Concealers & Colour Correctors

Concealer and contour are not the same thing, but they can be used to create a similar effect. If you don't love sparkly highlighters or dramatic contour, face concealer can create a natural contrast - or when the occasion calls for full glam, use them together. Choose a concealer corrector a couple of shades lighter than your skin tone and apply to the highest points of the face. These are typically the areas just above where you would normally add contour – like the centre of the nose, tops of cheekbones, and middle of the forehead. Blend and set.

Depending on how you’re using concealer makeup, a few types of brushes can create different finishes – so a guide to makeup brushes is helpful. The Bye Bye Dark Spots Concealer + Serum has a built-in applicator so you can easily and precisely cover dark spots and other blemishes.

• The flat, tapered end is perfect for applying concealer in hard-to-reach spots like under the eyes, and around the nose.
• The round, fluffy end lets you achieve an airbrushed finish by buffing away imperfections.

Though foundation and concealer may look similar, they serve quite distinct purposes. In order to cover discolouration flawlessly, concealer typically has a higher concentration of colour correcting pigment than foundation. Rather than using concealer makeup all over the face like foundation, concealer is best applied strategically to areas that need a little more coverage.

While you probably won’t want to use concealer in place of foundation across the entire face, you can definitely use it without foundation. For a natural makeup look, skip foundation and just apply eye and face concealer where needed to brighten and even out skin tone. Then, lock in the look with a light dusting of face powder.
