This week, Sheroma shows us how to apply concealer to cover-up the worst of discolourations…in this case, a bad case of the chicken pox. She twisted my arm to put my very own face on full blast since the chicken pox did me oh so wrong. Check out the feature below and if anyone knows any method of clearing up these spots permanently…I’m all ears!

Covering Blemishes with Concealer

Concealer, also known in some instances as colour corrector, is used to cover blemishes, spots, discolourations and any other unevenness in the skin tone. Concealer must be used along with foundation to even out the skin tone and make it appear flawless. Concealer is available in a variety of shades. Some colours are intended to look like a natural skin tone, while others are meant to contrast with a particular kind of blemish. White can be used to hide dark circles or bruising, and to brighten dull skin. Green and blue can counteract red patches on the skin, such as those caused by pimples, broken veins, or rosacea. A purple-tinted concealer can make sallow complexions look brighter. Coloured concealers such as these are usually applied sparingly beneath a concealer or foundation that matches the wearer’s skin tone. Skin-toned concealers are not only the most common type, but are often sufficient on their own at hiding blemishes.

In this instance we are using a stick (looks like lipstick) skin-toned concealer. The concealer should be a shade lighter than your foundation. First apply your foundation. From the previous feature you would have learnt how to choose the right shade. After applying the foundation, you will see the blemishes that require concealer. Take the stick concealer and draw over all the blemishes. Blend both concealer and foundation ensuring a smooth even skin tone. Then apply makeup as necessary.

  1. Sheroma’s work is always so flawless!!!
    What a good way to hide Nique’s chicken pox spots which I know she hates!
    Very gorgeous!!!

  2. This is incredible!!! When I saw the finished product on the home page I was hoping I’d see some before and after shots. This really says it all for those of us with blemishes. And like the model, I have little dark marks in various places and it is hard to cover them adequately with foundation and/or loose powder.
