Directions: Apply using your finger 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.
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 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.
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.
Soft Cream Concealer can be used to cover blemishes; however, the emollients and waxes in the formula are not the best ingredients to use on blemished areas. Paula's Choice
No Slip Concealer (or another good matte finish concealer) is recommended for hiding blemishes. 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!
Soft Cream Concealer can be applied to the eyelids to even out discolorations and provide a base for powder eyeshadows. If your eyelids tend to be oily, we recommend using a matte finish concealer or foundation instead.
I have always had a problem with extremely dark circles under my eyes. It makes me look tired and also accentuates the size of my nose. I just bought Paula's Choice Soft Cream Concealer and it has worked wonders! It blends beautifully with my skin (the online chart that tells you which color is best for your skin was accurate for me), covering sufficiently but without looking caked on. The best part is it lasts all day! I come home from school looking just as awake and fresh as I did when I left. Thank you Paula!

This is by far the best concealer I have ever used. The consistency is perfect, goes on smoothly and instantly blends into my skin. My dark circles are gone, my skin looks flawless and doesn't look "made up", and the color blends with my skin tone perfectly. Thank you, I am hooked!
—Allita
I absolutely love this concealer. It glides on smoothly and has great coverage. It eliminates the dark circles under my eyes and doesn't wear off. I've tried lots of concealers before, but this one is my favorite by far!
