Colored Concealer Guide
1. Yellow
Evens out your skintone, makes skin look fresh with minimal effort and also great to use as a base for brow bones, eyelids and cheekbones.
2. Pink
Brightens any dull areas, hides signs of fatigue, dark circles, bruises and to give your entire face a little boost.
3. Green
Neutralizes blemishes, covers up redness, cancels out any rosy areas on your face like scars, rosacea, etc.

How To:
1. Conceal Under-Eye Circles
Use an oil-based formula to keep the delicate skin in this area hydrated and moist. Start by dotting a line from the inner corner to the outer edge of your eye. Dampen your sponge or blender, dip into a loose highlighting powder then dab over the concealer while blending it evenly.
2. Apply Concealer Around the Nose
Use a cream concealer, the less oil, the better. Dip your ring finger into the concealer and pat it around your nose to cover it completely while fading it outward to your cheeks. Dampen your sponge or blender then blend it evenly and then dust loose powder to set.
3. Hide Blemishes
Use a green concealer to neutralize the color and hide the inflammation. Take a concealer brush and dip it into the green concealer. Apply it directly onto the pimple from the middle while making light outward brush strokes. Dab your index finger onto the concealer stick and apply onto the blemish in a patting motion until the area is completely covered. Lightly brush loose powder onto your skin to blend all three products together.

4. Conceal Puffiness
Before applying any makeup on, be sure to drink two full glasses of water because this will help your skin more than any concealer. Use a yellow-toned or brightening concealer to highlight the corners of your eyes, eyelids and brow bones. Create a mizture of moisturizer, liquid concealer and a bit of highlighter. Using a concealer brush, dab on the puffy areas of your face. Wipe your concealer brush clean then use it to blend it on evenly.
5. Cover Up Scars or Dark Spots
Use a heavier concealer because thicker formulas contain less oil and lasts longer. Apply the concealer with a brush to cover the problem area entirely. Dab a coat of lifting concealer to brighten the dark spots. Dampen your sponge or blender, dip into a loose powder then blend the area evenly.
