How to Apply Concealer Pencil

Uneven complexion, dull, expressionless skin, pigment spots, acne and acne really spoil your appearance, and we all want to look young and beautiful always. Powder or foundation alone is often unable to cope with problems, so to eliminate them, at least for a short time, high-quality and correctly performed facial correction is necessary. To ensure that the products you use are invisible and do everything they are intended for, you need to know what a concealer is, what it can be and how it can be used to get perfectly smooth and radiant skin.

Types and properties of facial correctors

The modern woman is in an ideal position compared to her sisters in other times. Nowadays there is such an abundance of cosmetics that you can cope with any imperfections, but because of this, another problem arises - how to choose a corrector so that it performs the desired function, hides the defect, is invisible, suits your skin type and remains on it for the maximum possible time.

According to their functions, correctors are designed to even out the complexion, so they come in both flesh and color. Each color has its own purpose, being selected according to the principle of contrast to the problem color - contrasting tones overlap each other, thereby leveling the problem.

The division of this group of cosmetics can be quite arbitrary, mainly based on consistency and packaging method. The following types of correctors can be named:

  1. Corrector pencil. It has a pleasant texture that fits well on the skin, but very dense, which easily covers the defect and even slightly evens out the surface. Correctors for spot application are usually produced in pencil form. If you intend to use a product to hide acne, then it may contain anti-inflammatory, drying and redness-relieving substances. Thick pencil correctors are intended for serious and pronounced defects.
  2. Cream-corrector can be water- or oil-based, has a more liquid and pliable texture than a pencil, and can be easily applied to large areas. Often available in the form of a tube or an automatic “pen” with a brush. When you press the button, a drop of liquid product is released onto the brush, which is easily distributed over the skin. Such correctors are very popular for the area under the eyes - they not only mask swelling and bruises, but also contain moisturizing substances that smooth out wrinkles and reflective particles that make the face look younger and fresher.
  3. An option for a cream or water-based corrector can be considered a foundation, which is applied to the entire face and evens out its shade, making the skin smoother, more even and beautiful. This tinting cream is selected not only by the shade and warmth of the skin (neutral tone, pinkish or yellowish, olive, dark), but also by its type - for dry, oily, combination, young, mature, sensitive, with acne, and so on.
  4. Another form of concealer that has become popular lately is foundation. This is a colored substance, quite liquid, water- or fat-based, which may have reflective particles in its composition. The foundation is designed to correct the color and texture of the face - it can remove redness, dullness, too dark skin tone, and add radiance. Typically, such bases are enclosed in bottles with convenient dispensers and can be applied both to the entire face and to individual areas that need correction. These bases are also selected according to skin type and existing problem.
  5. Dry corrector - this can be either regular colored powder or specially made dry mixtures in the form of finely ground powder, which are applied to areas that need a color change. Such products are very often produced for mineral cosmetics.

Also, correctors are selected according to the type of main coating used: water- or oil-based products are applied under a liquid foundation or foundation, dry ones are applied under powder.

Methods for Using Concealer Pencil

The corrector in a pencil is mainly used for those places where there are noticeable pimples, scars or post-acne, small age spots and other minor defects. Stick concealers, which look like a tube of lipstick, can be used over larger areas because they are easier to apply. Typically, such correctors have a flesh-colored tint, and very dense and “tight” substances in texture are called camouflage and serve to cover very noticeable spots - pigmentation, hemangiomas, vitiligo, burns and scars. They perfectly cover the color of the stain and level the surface, they are special products and in their composition are very similar to theatrical makeup. But their composition is richer and more specific, it is enriched with nutrients, softening and moisturizing substances, it includes anti-inflammatory drugs and medicinal agents.

The scheme for applying the corrector in a pencil is quite simple:

  1. A woman’s usual day care routine is applied to the washed face. It must be allowed to absorb so that the decorative cosmetics do not “float”.
  2. To correct acne, you need to use a green or nude concealer with drying or anti-inflammatory properties. If there is only a regular remedy, you can apply a special transparent preparation to the pimples, let it absorb, and then apply the corrector to the spots. This will prevent the pimple from “ripening” during the day and ruining the entire appearance.
  3. The corrector layer must be carefully smoothed so as not to open the defect, but also not to leave even, noticeable boundaries of application. The drug is allowed to be absorbed.
  4. The selected foundation is applied on top, carefully so as not to smear the previous layer.
  5. The drug is applied in the same way to age spots, scars and burns. The main thing is to choose the right shade and try to “merge” it with the skin.

How to properly apply dry powder concealer

This type of product is most suitable for oily skin or oily areas of combination skin. The powder has the ability to perfectly absorb sebum, mattifying it and hiding imperfections for a long time. For correction, colored powder is usually used, preferably compact, as it is denser in texture and contains more color pigments.

It is best to apply powder with a large fluffy brush or puff, this way it is distributed more evenly, without forming stains or creating a too “thick” and noticeable layer of makeup on the face.

If mineral cosmetics are used, multi-colored preparations can be used to correct various defects, including redness due to rosacea and blue discoloration under the eyes. To combat redness, apply a layer of special green powder corrector to the skin with a brush, and apply a peach-colored mineral powder corrector to blue circles under the eyes. These products are dusted with colored finishing powder on top to give an even, beautiful complexion.

Liquid corrector

Foundation or liquid corrector can be applied to the entire face or to individual areas. To work with this product, you can use brushes, a silicone sponge, a beauty blender or its analogues, or your own fingers, if that’s more convenient.

The corrector is applied to the face on previously prepared skin. It should be well moisturized, with a layer of protective day cream that will not allow pigment particles to “clog” the pores. On a prepared face, any decorative cosmetics looks and lasts much better. The exception is BB creams, which contain all the substances necessary for nutrition and moisturizing.

Simple step-by-step instructions will help you apply the corrector correctly:

  1. First, the product is applied to the area that needs masking and color change in the form of dots, if it is placed in a bottle or tube with a pump, or in the form of strokes, if the corrector is produced in a special automatic device with a brush.
  2. Using gentle blotting movements of a sponge, blender, brush or fingers, the product is distributed over the problem area.
  3. The corrector is lightly driven in with your fingertips and allowed to “grab.”
  4. If a foundation was applied, a foundation of a suitable shade is applied on top of it, and if there is no need for further masking, the skin is simply powdered with a suitable powder - transparent or colored, as necessary.
  5. It is best to apply under-eye corrector after applying eye makeup and applying foundation, this way you can get rid of traces of crumbled shadows and smeared powder.
  6. If you want to keep the corrector under your eyes for as long as possible, you need to powder it with transparent loose powder or powder specially produced for this purpose. This is best done with a brush, in a very thin layer, shaking off the excess.

A corrector correctly selected in color and texture should be invisible on the skin, perform its functions perfectly and blend into the skin.

What is the difference between concealer and corrector

The similarity of application and purpose often causes problems in determining the difference between correctors and concealers. In principle, there is a thin line only between skin-tone products.

The concealer is always flesh-colored and serves to cover problem areas and emphasize the contours of the face. If you apply a light concealer to the right places, your face will become embossed and not flat, as when a layer of foundation is completely distributed over it, and your makeup will become expressive.

The corrector is designed to change the impression of appearance using color correction. Its goal is to get rid of various circles under the eyes, age spots, redness, acne with color changes, and so on.

Many manufacturers do not make any special distinctions in names when producing corrective products. Thus, the main difference between correctors and concealers is their color and texture. If we are talking about the need to disguise skin imperfections with a flesh-colored substance, you can use both a corrector and a concealer; the only question is how to apply this or that product.

You can see how to use the face corrector in the video:

Variety of corrector colors: which shades are used for what purpose

Color correctors use the principle of color contrast, in which opposite colors neutralize each other.

A professional makeup artist uses many different concealers, since the specifics of his work cause him to encounter many different problems and skin tones. A corrector palette is best suited for this, which can include up to 15 colors, including the rarely used blue and orange tones.

Blue most often neutralizes a poorly chosen “red” shade of self-tanning or insect bites, but orange copes well with deep black-purple bruises or too noticeable dark veins. Other colors are more common and popular.

This color perfectly removes red marks, including those from rosacea. It can be in the form of a green base base or in the form of a stick or pencil for spot application. After setting the main color, it must be covered with foundation on top to even out the complexion and make it uniform.

The shade and texture of the green base and corrector should be selected individually, depending on the intensity of the redness. Sometimes you can limit yourself to only a very thin layer of green base on reddened cheeks in order to muffle an overly intense natural “country” blush. If, with redness, thin surface capillaries are also clearly visible or there is rosacea (rosacea), you may have to use both a green base and a thick pencil of the same color. In this case, a base layer is first applied to the entire red spot, time is given for the product to absorb, and then noticeable vessels are painted over with a thick green pencil or stick.

After carefully distributing the color, foundation is applied and makeup is completed.

Perfectly removes blue under the eyes or blue veins on the skin of the face (especially noticeable on the temples) or on the chest. To prevent the yellow corrector from being too noticeable under the eyes, apply it only to the areas of greatest concentration of color and carefully blur the boundaries of the color. The concealer may need to be lightly powdered on top to make the makeup uniform and the use of color invisible. If this is not done, the concealer may roll up or flow into wrinkles and folds of the skin. The makeup will turn out untidy and aging, and the color correction will be very noticeable.

This shade is used in foundation makeup bases with a leveling effect, which perfectly eliminate yellowness and dullness of the skin. Can also be used if there are yellowish spots on the face. Lilac and pinkish makeup bases are very popular in Asian countries, where fair, radiant, beautiful and healthy skin is highly valued. Asian women themselves have a predominant yellowish skin tone.

Europeans need to use a lilac corrector or bases of this shade if their skin has a deathly, earthy tone. This often happens to women who work long hours, have poor sleep, and spend most of their time indoors with air conditioning and low oxygen levels.

This color of the corrector or base is designed to lighten the skin of the face if it is excessively dark, or its individual areas. Apply under foundation or powder. You need to be careful with this corrector so as not to create a mask effect. However, light white bases like those produced by the Chanel brand that “illuminate” the skin give the face exceptional freshness and tenderness, making it younger and more expressive.

The corrector can have all shades of flesh color. It is matched to the base tone of the skin if they need to hide imperfections, or lighter if there is a need to highlight some areas and give relief to the face.

Light and dark correctors are often used to remove “flatness”, for example, for a round face you need to lighten some areas and darken others, thereby creating a spectacular and beautiful relief. Now such correctors are separated into a separate group as contouring and highlighting products, although you can simply purchase a light and dark corrector and use them for the same purpose.

How to choose the best concealer

The ideal corrective product can only be found through trial and error. It must meet many requirements, among which the most important are the following:

  1. The corrector must be suitable for your skin type.
  2. The color and density of the product is selected according to the problem that needs to be dealt with.
  3. The drug should not cause inflammation, irritation or other manifestations of an allergic reaction.
  4. A good concealer does not pill, form lumps or smear into creases. Its structure should allow it to blend into the skin.
  5. A high-quality concealer does not dry or oil the skin or clog pores.

Now all cosmetic companies produce similar products, so finding the right type is not difficult. Those who have numerous problems and do not know which shades are best should purchase corrector sets or special palettes that are produced by numerous professional cosmetics brands.

If a skin problem happens suddenly, and there is no specialized corrector in your cosmetic bag, any woman will probably have a handy product to replace the face corrector.

If we are simply talking about a bad complexion, you can use tan-colored powder or a suitable bronzer. You can disguise redness with the thinnest layer of matte green shadows, and the same shadows, but peach or very light flesh-colored, will help cope with the problem of bruises around the eyes. To make this kind of makeup look natural, you need to apply colored shadows carefully, in a thin layer and cover with a light finishing powder on top so that they blend into the surrounding skin.

The “correct” concealer does an excellent job of its duties and makes your appearance beautiful and attractive without “weighting” you down or creating the impression of a thick layer of makeup on the skin.

Foundation does not always cope with minor skin imperfections. To help him, women often use a concealing pencil. This small product of decorative cosmetics in the form of a pencil or lipstick complements the foundation and helps to achieve an even surface of the skin. In decorative cosmetics, this cosmetic product is often called a corrector.

Peculiarities

Only a few women know that concealer is used as a base for foundation. Corrective products in this format are the easiest to use, as they are small in size, conveniently packaged, and do not require additional devices for application to the skin.

What is it needed for?

The corrector is used for sleep problems, skin diseases, and to create an even complexion. A concealing pencil is an ideal tool for hiding the following imperfections and diseases:

  1. dark circles;
  2. small scars;
  3. freckles;
  4. bruises and swelling;
  5. rosacea;
  6. uneven tanning;
  7. blue veins on the face;
  8. spider veins.

Some correctors hide minor imperfections and provide a healing effect, completely eliminating the imperfection over time.

At the moment, there are several types of camouflage pencils. They have different functions, packaging and even color. So, the options are as follows:

  1. Green – with its help you can quickly and easily hide pimples. Often such a pencil is double-sided: on the one hand there is a green pigment that fights various inflammations and microbes, and on the other there is a corrector to match. For women with oily skin, this product will be a real lifesaver.
  2. Lilac, violet or lilac – hides yellow pigment spots well. Such products can be used to combat dark circles or to soften a strong tan.
  3. White – helps to cope with dark circles under the eyes and disguise freckles. The principle of action is reminiscent of a highlighter - highlighting and emphasizing individual areas of the facial skin.
  4. Yellow or orange – this pigment is ideal for bruising or unsightly swelling under the eyes.
  5. Pink – hides blue and yellow pigment spots, thereby refreshing the complexion. Suitable for mature women, as it provides a rejuvenating effect, giving the skin a natural pink glow.
  6. Blue – works great on even the darkest brown spots and freckles
  7. Brown – useful for uneven tanning or partial peeling.

Correctors with an antibacterial effect not only improve the appearance, but also affect the internal condition of the skin, providing a caring and anti-inflammatory effect.

How to use it correctly?

For an even and natural complexion, you will need more than just a concealer pencil. It is very important to follow the algorithm for applying other cosmetics, which will lead to perfect makeup.

  1. Before applying any decorative cosmetics, you must thoroughly cleanse your facial skin. cleanser or special tonic. For deficiencies and typical features of facial skin, apply cream.
  2. At least 20 minutes after the previous stage, begin applying decorative cosmetics, starting with a makeup base.
  3. Next, move on to the concealer pencil. It should be a tone lighter. It is necessary to carefully, with light movements, apply a small amount of pencil to problem areas - and at the same time shade it well to avoid the effect of a mask. First you should pay attention to the area under the eyes, and then you will need to move on to other problem areas. To make the product even more invisible, you can lightly pat the application area with your fingertip.
  4. The next stage is foundation, cream or fluid.
  5. The makeup is completed with powder – to add matte finish and eliminate oily shine.

If the pencil has a therapeutic effect, you need to study possible reactions before use. For example, an acne pencil can dry out your skin.

How to use colors?

We must not forget about the functions of each type of camouflage pencil. Such products should only be applied to the appropriate parts. A white pencil is usually shaded on the nose, and yellow or pink is applied under the lower eyelid.

Small imperfections become almost invisible to others thanks to concealing pencils. The result is flawless makeup, even tone and velvety skin.

How to choose?

The selection of proofreaders should be carried out individually. Basic recommendations that a woman should follow when choosing a corrector:

  1. The pencil must be suitable for your skin type and tone.

Purpose of face corrector

As the name implies, the tool must make adjustments. In our case, to mask imperfections of various origins and types on the face:

spider veins and asterisks.

A corrector is indispensable at any age. First of all, it is valued for its ability to hide the morning panda-look. Simply put, dark circles under the eyes.

Types of facial correctors and their properties

Foundation, no matter how dense and super-resistant it may be, well evens out the relief of the facial skin, but it does not camouflage everything. The corrector will help “erase” noticeable stains. Choose the format that suits you best.

Pencil

Useful for girls with oily, acne-prone skin. The first corrector pencils were developed precisely to precisely hide acne. These products have a very dense texture that covers the defect as much as possible.

Pencil corrector always has a mattifying effect. Sometimes it may contain shimmer - reflective particles make imperfections invisible.

The stick differs from the pencil in its softer texture, because its purpose is to mask the imperfections of normal and dry skin. The composition often contains moisturizing ingredients and oils.

Cream

It has a fairly dense consistency and is applied with a brush or damp sponge. Hides local defects, circles under the eyes, extensive redness, pigmentation. Allows you to correct the contour of the face.

The thick, nourishing texture of cream correctors is indicated for normal to dry skin.

Liquid (fluid)

The light consistency makes the product convenient and pleasant to use, but not the most reliable in terms of masking. Suitable for those with sensitive skin as it requires minimal effort when blending.

Compact

We recommend that everyone pay attention to the corrector in the form of cream-powder:

oily skin will benefit from its mattifying properties;

Those with normal and combination skin will love the velvety finish;

a comfortable texture is suitable for aged and dry skin; However, there is a danger that such a corrector will emphasize crow’s feet.

Auto

The most promising format is a corrector in the format of an automatic pencil with an adjustable dosage. The applicator can be in the form of a brush or sponge pad. Guarantees precise application in the required quantity.

Corrector palette

The palettes include products in different shades and textures. Therefore, they are loved not only by makeup artists, but also by ordinary users. With such sets you can be sure that you will disguise imperfections of any type, color and severity.

How to choose a shade

Correctors come not only in a natural range, but also in the most unexpected colors. Each of them has its own mission.

Green covers redness, including pimples, spider veins and stars.

Yellow masks bruises and dark circles under the eyes.

Coral, orange, peach, salmon are also designed to camouflage dark circles, but for those with dark skin.

Red (dark pink) neutralizes greenish bruises and age spots.

Lavender or blue neutralizes yellow spots on the skin, such as injection marks, healing bruises, yellowish pigmentation.

Pink refreshes the skin around the eyes, especially if brown pigment predominates in this area.

White is useful for mixing with other shades to adjust the intensity. Plus, it can be applied to the inner corners of the eyes to “highlight” the look.

Hide wrinkles

Use a liquid fluid corrector; it will not accumulate in the folds of the skin. Choose a shade 1-2 shades lighter than your natural skin color.

After cleansing, moisturize the skin with cream and let it absorb.

Apply concealer to the following areas:

under the eyes with an emphasis on the outer corners of the eyes (crow's feet area);

above the tick of the upper lip;

in the hollow between the lower lip and chin.

Using a damp sponge, blend the corrector, as if driving it into the skin.

Using a thin brush or applicator, apply the corrector directly to wrinkles.

Camouflage a pimple

Apply the green concealer directly to the pimple.

Using a clean finger, press lightly to allow the pigment to be absorbed.

Blend the borders and wait a minute.

Apply foundation.

You should not brush the concealer directly from the bottle to avoid introducing bacteria. Apply a little onto your wrist and use it as a palette.

Concealer and corrector: what's the difference?

There is no agreement on this issue either among cosmetics manufacturers or makeup artists. Strictly speaking, proofreaders are a broader concept. And concealers are part of the corrector family because they perform the same tasks. However, there are nuances.

Texture. Concealer is usually lighter and more flexible. The corrector is often thick or very thick.

Color. Concealers are always nude colors, unlike correctors, which can come in all the colors of the rainbow.

Target. The concealer is not intended for spot application, but for correcting a particular area of ​​the face. Unlike the corrector, which works both locally and globally. Concealer cannot cover up a pimple.

Application. Concealer, unlike corrector, is applied on top of foundation.

The most common mistakes when using a corrector

The bigger, the better

No! Excessive application of the product will only emphasize the area that needs to be masked.

Wrong shade

It will look unnatural, which is why there is always white in the palettes - for mixing and obtaining the optimal color as a result.

Saving on brushes and sponges

Remember: you cannot apply different products with the same tools for hygienic reasons.

Corrector over foundation

An exception is a pencil or stick to hide only a popped pimple.

Blend thick concealer with cold hands

This makes the task more difficult. In any case, a sponge is the best choice for shading.

Apply concealer to unprepared skin

Preliminary cleansing and moisturizing are necessary. Optional make-up base.
