Makeup is all about helping us present our best selves.
To this end, concealer can be a lifesaver.
Just slap on a bit of our best concealer and we’re good to go.
It’s worth noting thatconcealer is different from foundation.
Foundation is meant to be applied to the whole face to provide a neutral, full base.
How much concealer you need depends on how much your foundation covers (viaReal Simple).
However, there is one area of your face on which you may want to avoid applying concealer.
In some cases, concealers can make existing issues look worse.
Makeup artist Nic Chapman toldGood Housekeepingthat there is one particular spot where you should never put concealer.
“You don’t need concealer there it has no discoloration from the rest of your face.
So keep concealer away from there so that there’s no excess product.”
“Instead, I use lightweight concealers that flex around the eyes and have medium to full coverage.”
Getting to the root of dark under-eye circles is another way to go.
