Estée Lauder – Concealer Tips

January 20th, 2013

There are certain make-up products that are more fun than others – like a bright poppy lipstick or a glossy red nail polish. But when it comes to products that are not only integral, but also remarkably versatile, concealer pretty much tops my list. It’s a tricky product to use though, since when applied improperly, it looks cakey, but without it, your skin may look uneven. Here’s a quick video that I made with Estée Lauder to share a few of my tips when using concealer.

    Nice tips. I often skip concealer and just use my foundation instead which is bad for your undereye area.

    Great tips! I’ve had the same concealer and foundation routine for years – I’m tempted now to switch up my products a bit! Thanks for this post (I always love when bloggers do the occasional video too!).

    I never used to be one for makeup until the mid 20′s hit … concealer has become my friend so I obviously adored your video and this post.

    My god, you’ve got some gorgeous skin. I look like a different person without concealer, so this is my kind of video.

    It’s funny you mentioned that when applied incorrectly, it looks cakey but the close up of applying concealer under your eyebrows look very cakey.

    I only use concealer around my eyes – cannot live without it. As a Makeup Artist my all time fave is Laura Mercier Secret Camoflauge. x

    I love the trick of applying concealer on the lips. I find it helps the product stay on for a longer period of time, and it allows the true color to POP!
    Concealer is definitely the one cosmetic item I always need to have on me.

    Lovely video! I’ve always heard the opposite though; that you should apply concealer to just the darkest parts under the eyes which is usually the inner corner.

    I was told that you should never use a brush around the eyes, as it can make you get wrinkles!
    Love the tip about the lipstick, it’s a really good idea.

    not sure if this is as comprehensive as it should be …

    when applying concealer you have to ensure there is no creasing, that the color blends in with your cheeks/rest of the foundation, that the color is set, and that the concealer type matches your skin type – this kind of product can definitely be applied wrong and its application is a bit trickier
