Despite putting on full face makeup can have fun, nowadays, we all seem to choose a lighter and simpler look. I like to go as naked as possible on a daily basis, but that doesn’t mean I have to shred a single dew shine. In fact, when putting on makeup you usually don’t have to cover every square inch of your face and jaw to get a beautiful finish. As a makeup artist, a well-combined blender is the perfect blend for my proper structure and the perfect blend to satisfy the look of my skin finish. It’s not just the circumference and the flaws, the concealers may be the only coverage you really need. The big question is, so what are the best concealers?
If you’re depicting beauty vloggers with hidden lines and contour lines, that’s also not taking direction. The whole point of this low maintenance approach is to make your skin look flawless while letting it breathe and we just have tips to help you achieve this.
Read on to find out how to use nail polishes makeup without makeup appearance, plus a collection that brings together the best concealers of all kinds of concerns and covers accepted by the editor.

Preparation and first.
The answer to flawless makeup always lies in skin care, especially when using only the concealer; a well-hydrated foundation will ensure that the application will work well. You are cleansed, toned, hydrated and ready. If you want to use a primer, proceed with a similar one Saie Glowy Super Gel. The finish is smooth with a subtle sheen and is perfectly layered under the concealer.
Choose the right hiding formula for you.
In general, more creamy finishes and dew masks work better for this look as they blend better. However, the concealer you use depends on the specific needs of your skin. Look for more moisturizing formula for dry skin and a more complete formula for oily skin, as skin oils will naturally thin the product. If you’re still unsure, choose a formula that is richer in pigment, as you can always thin it out with a primer or moisturizer. In general, sticky or solid concealers can be drier and more sticky, while liquids can be slightly less coated.

Use more than one shade to hide.
The cardinal rule of the concealer: a shadow does not cut. The concealer you use to cover up bugs should be different from the shade you use to illuminate under the eye. Most faces are multi-toned, which means you can have multiple skin tones on your skin. Also, your skin tone changes with the season, especially between winter and summer, so make sure your current tone matches your skin tone.
A concealer should be two shades lighter than your skin tone. This is for lightening and lifting, under the eyes, on the bridge of the nose, and so on.
The other should be as accurate a pairing as possible with your skin. This concealer should be used around the nose, stains and redness. Try it during the day, the concealer should almost disappear from your skin. Make sure you choose one that has a similar tone to your skin, yellow, pink or neutral, which causes the makeup to blend in.
Keep in mind to place the product anywhere.
They are all different, and you will need different amounts of coverage on different parts of your face. Start with a light hand first, you can always add them later and when you start mixing you may need less than you thought possible. Focus on areas with redness, on the nose, stains and a spot under the eyes and in the inner corner and from there you can add.
Pick the right tools.
The fingers work well for a while, but my desire is a small, smooth eye makeup brush. Fluff allows for better blending, while a smaller brush size provides better control. My cheapest option is my favorite Brush to implement real techniques, especially if you can get it from almost any medication. After applying and mixing, remove wet sponge it will smooth everything out to make it smoother with your skin.

The best: circumferences, defects, stain treatment, buildables
Why I recommend: This buildable concealer is always in my makeup bag. Since I’m someone who wears very little makeup, I use this concealer for everything: dark spots, blemishes, and hormonal acne to cover up. It goes a long way, and it blends into the skin. While the coverage isn’t overwhelming, it does the trick. It’s not even a cake, thanks to the concealer’s elastic micro-wax. I am obsessed. – Edie Horstman, Wellness Assistant
The best: all skin types, blemishes, medium coverage
Why I recommend it: OG of concealers approved by makeup artists, which is a best seller and the number one in the US for a reason. It is one of the sweets I make in my makeup kit, thanks to its perfect texture and light finish. The multi-action skin care benefits are enriched with moisturizing and light scattering technology, spreading blends like flaws and fine lines and dreams. – Hannah Zahner, Beauty and Wellness Editor
Why I recommend it: I recently tested this highly valued concealer and it works like a charm. It goes a long way to cover sleepy circles and dark spots or dark spots under the eyes. I usually have dry skin, and rather than the solids I used in the past, I like the liquid consistency of that concealer, rather than the solids that formed under my eyes. This goes smoothly and they have shades to find your exact match. – Michelle Nash, lead producer
Why I recommend: I tried several concealers and as I got older (I had just turned 41) I tried to make each of the areas under my eyes look really dry, crepe and cake. But that all changed when Kosas sent me a Revealer Concealer last year. This is unlike any concealer on the market today. It’s very creamy, moisturizing and shiny, and goes a long way! After hitting the forehead, under the eye, nose and chin in several places, I like to apply it with a damp sponge to give it a smooth, dewy finish. This concealer is a compelling glow that gives your skin and lasts all day without any cracks! – Sacha Strebe, Deputy Editor
Why I recommend it: In addition to the Kosas concealer, it is difficult to overcome this, not only a toxic product, but also above all concealers. This concealer reminds me of two of my favorite pure beauties — the applicator is similar to the NARS toe shoe, while the moisturizing formula spreads and covers it like Glossier’s Stretch Concealer. It’s lightweight and weightless with a natural finish that looks like skin and is especially great for “full face” coverage when you want to skip the foundation. – Hannah Zahner, Beauty and Wellness Editor
The best: Dark circles, oily skin, full coverage, buildable
Why I recommend: Don’t hide from the disappointment of the price because this lasts forever. It’s a multi-purpose pigmentation / pigment foundation, I like to take it out with moisturizer or bb cream, depending on how much coating I need. I have dark circles under my eyes since the day I was born, and this is the only concealer that properly covers and maintains the PUT. All you need is the tiniest point under your eyes and an almost imperceptible touch to cover your pimples; I use it for everything. The range of shades is a little disappointing, but since it is intended to be placed on the skin or used with other products, the range of skin tones is quite wide. – Lourdes Avila Uribe, assistant editor
Why I recommend: I have been using this concealer since I took it out and I think it was the first clean beauty product I ever bought. When the pure beauty movement started there weren’t many options for dark skin tones, this concealer blended into my skin flawlessly. It has a light feeling and not only covers but also lightens and cleanses. – Brandy Joy Smith, Maternity Assistant
Why I recommend: One of the first clean hideouts I fell in love with, I love putting this in the pot. Touch it with your finger or brush and you’ll find that it goes a long way. Spread, blend and cover like a dream while it doesn’t dry out, its creamy formula is lightweight, breathable and non-sticky. – Hannah Zahner, Beauty and Wellness Editor
Why I recommend: This has been what I have been hiding for the last two years. It has a fairly full coverage and works very well for use on the area under the eye and the stains I need to cover. I like to mix it with a small brush, like the lower end of it this at It Cosmetics to get the perfect look. It can become a bit pastel if the skin is not hydrated, so be sure to prepare your skin first. The best is that it is vegan and hypoallergenic. – Bridget Chambers, Editorial and Social Media Fellow
