Directions: Apply using your finger, the wand applicator, or a concealer brush (Paula's Choice has an excellent
Concealer Brush) to transfer the concealer in small dots or a light coat of color under the eye area. Depending on the technique you prefer, you can apply foundation first, then concealer or vice versa. Many women notice that they end up using less concealer if they apply their foundation first. If you use a brush to apply concealer, it helps to use one that is synthetic (natural hairs will absorb the moisture from the concealer and can apply it unevenly) and has a tapered end. It should be firm but not scratchy. Place a dab of concealer on the brush and dab it on the darkest areas first. Use light pressure and keep your brush strokes small and controlled, almost as if you were "pressing" the concealer onto the skin. Once the product is on the skin, flip the brush over to the "clean" side and use this to lightly blend the concealer. Then, if you need a bit more, flip the brush again and use what is left from your initial application. Blend gently along the undereye area using either your finger, a sponge (the sponge can be dry or slightly damp, depending on your blending preference), or a concealer brush. Concentrate the greatest amount of concealer over the darkest areas, and "feather" the edges so the concealer imperceptibly fades into the surrounding (non-dark) skin. If the skin under the eyes is dry and/or wrinkled, it does help to apply a lightweight moisturizer prior to concealer. Be aware that if the moisturizer is too greasy or applied too heavily, it will cause slippage of the concealer into facial lines. No Slip Concealer can also be used to cover blemishes, but keep in mind that if the blemish is inflamed or raised, there is only so much any concealer can do. Piling too much concealer on a blemish will look strange and only draw attention to what you are trying to hide. If the blemish has developed a scab or crust, do not apply any concealer as this will assuredly make it look worse. Generally, if you wear a foundation, the concealer color should be one to two shades lighter than your foundation shade. Used alone, the concealer should match your skin color as closely as possible. Concealer is also known as "highlighter" and can be used to do just that on the brow bone, the center of the chin, or in the creases that form from the sides of the nose to the mouth. Remember that light colors bring forward, darks recede!
I would just like to say how much I love your All Bases Covered Foundation, No Slip Concealer and Healthy Finish Pressed Powder. I have tried a lot of makeup over the years and these are the only products that both match my VERY light skin tone and don't feel heavy or cakey on my face. I cannot tell I am wearing them, even after having them on all day. Plus, the sun protection is great. Thank you!
