How to Apply Concealer the Correct Way for Each Part of the Face?



Whether you’ve recently dipped your toes into the make-up world or are a regular pro, you must agree to the fact that the concealer is a staple of every woman’s beauty stash. After all, it hides all skin flaws and makes your face appear toned. However, while most women own the best concealer for faces that money can buy, only a few of them actually know how to apply this product correctly. Not knowing how to use the concealer can render it ineffective and you end up blaming the product. 

To help you out, we’ve mentioned a step-by-step guide to apply your concealer like a pro.


4 Pro Tips to Apply Concealer The Right Way


Whether you are applying concealer to hide acne scars or trying to make dark circles disappear, there is a certain way to do it for maximum success. Here’s how to apply concealer correctly to get a picture-perfect look. 

  1. Hide undereye circles first

  • When it comes to make-up, you must follow the order religiously. Make use of liquid foundation before applying the under-eye concealer to get the perfect amount of coverage.


  • Apply the concealer in the patting motion and then press it with the concealer brush. Don’t smear or drag it.


  • Make sure to apply the concealer on the inner corner of the eyes too and avoid using it past your smile line.


  • Don’t forget to apply the oil-absorbing setting powder to keep the concealer in place. 


  1. Conceal redness around your nose


Make-up tends to come off the nose area very quickly no matter how many times you dab concealer here. Therefore, it is advised to use the setting powder just after applying The Body Shop Fresh Nude Concealer to keep the redness hidden throughout the day. 

Make sure to moisturise this area beforehand during winters to keep flakiness and dry spots in check.


  1. Cover-up breakouts


This is probably the most common cover-up concern and maybe the hardest. It involves lots of extra steps if it hides your pimples during a midday make-up meltdown, then it’s really worth it. 

  • Always apply the Body Shop Skin Primer to restore the velvety texture to the blemished skin before putting on the concealer.


  • After that, apply the foundation and use a slightly lighter shade of concealer.


  • Slightly dab it with the concealer brush to get an even-toned and flawless look.


  1. Hide acne scars


Before starting the process, consider what type of scar you have - flat or raised because this will determine the formula you should use.


  • If your scar is raised, then you should go for a creamy, lightweight concealer for face.


  • However, if you have a flat scar, consider applying a thicker and more mattifying formula like The Body Shop Matte Clay Concealer 010 Peruvian Lily for fuller coverage.


  • Don’t forget to apply make-up setting powder to keep everything in place. 


The way you put on concealer is just as important as the concealer itself. You can have the best concealer in the world, but it does more harm than good if you apply it inappropriately. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to take note and never suffer from the concealer meltdown again.
