How to Apply Cover Stick/Concealer

How to Apply Cover Stick/Concealer


We all would love to have naturally flawless and glowing skin, but we don’t. Like it or not, the stress of hectic work schedules, the build-up of pollution in the environment, poor eating habits and unhealthy lifestyles all take a harmful toll on your skin. Considering how delicate our skin and its complexion are, they are highly sensitive to any and all of these things.

 




The most common way your skin reacts to such adverse changes in the body and routines is by growing blemishes, pimples and showing discoloration. While nothing can substitute healthy eating, good hygiene and good sleep, most of us look for shortcuts in our daily life to cover these blips on our face, so we can put forward our best face daily. One such popular and safe solution to covering and concealing such facial problems is by applying a cover stick or concealer.


What can it conceal?

Just as its name suggests, this makeup tool helps conceal dark circles, broken veins, black heads, skin discoloration etc., which most of us suffer at some point or another in our lives. Today, such concealer sticks have found a place in almost all women’s vanity kits, who simply swear by its effectiveness and ease of application. Such a cover stick is especially great for women on the go, who either don’t have the time or the inclination to use too much makeup. Since such concealers are creamy and soft, they gently glide on your skin and settle seamlessly on the surface to give it a natural, flawless glow.

In fact, many women prefer using such sticks to spending time applying coats of foundation. Many others use it over their foundations, and some others under their foundation to ensure complete skin coverage. But the best way to use a concealer is to use it as a base and dust some loose powder or blush over it with light brush strokes. Cover sticks are a very useful and versatile makeup product that can be used by themselves or in combination with other makeup products.


Buying the right cover stick

If you too are looking for such a simple and wholesome solution to your 'on and off' skin problems, then investing in a good cover stick/concealer is the best bet for you. While shopping for one, always choose

one which is produced by a reputed brand. And even then, never go by the quality alone and always do a spot test or a patch test to ensure that it is compatible with your skin. Here, it is important to try on some concealer in the natural light as well to ensure it blends well with your overall skin tone.

Since most such cover sticks are made of chemicals, a patch test on the underside of your wrist, or on your neck or even on your jaw line would ensure two things. Firstly, it would help you establish that your chosen shade of concealer stick blends well with your skin undertone. Secondly, it would help you establish if it suits the pH balance of your skin or not. Both these things are crucial, as an ill matched cover stick would only serve to highlight your skin flaws, rather than hide them and leave you with itchy, red or in worse cases blotchy looking skin.


The trick to applying it correctly

Generally there are two ways of applying such a concealer. The first method is to dot your whole face, especially the areas you want covered, and gently run your concealer brush over your face blending these dots with your skin in outward strokes. This needs to be done with a light hand and many women simply use their index finger to blend the dotted concealer with their skin, in order to give their whole face an even and neat complexion. Many other women use their concealer to only cover their facial flaws, and hence only dab some on their problem areas alone, blending it slightly with their surrounding skin.

Having established that, it is good to know that such concealers also come in various colors and shades to battle specific skin problems. For example, a green cover stick works the best when applied to red areas of your skin, such as on and around pimples and red veins that can be commonly seen around your nose. A purple shade cover stick works the best on yellow or discolored areas of your skin such as pigmentation marks, while an orange concealer stick generally works the best on areas with a bluish tinge such as those dark under eye patches. Your concealer may also have a blue or pink shade. Blue counteracts orange tones typically caused from uneven or excessive tanning or self-tanning where a pink shade covers green areas such as green veins.

When using a corrector concealer with shades of green, purple, orange, pink or blue, then think of the color wheel. To cancel out a certain color you should use the opposite color on the color wheel e.g. you would use green on red areas because the opposite color of red is green on the color wheel.

A word of caution

As easy to use and effective as these cover sticks or concealers are, you need to ensure two things for best results. Firstly, avoid sharing your cover stick with other women, as you could catch contagious skin bacteria and allergies from them such as acne. As a makeup artist you should always clean your brushes after each client. Secondly, avoid using a cover stick beyond its expiry date, as the chemicals in such kind of makeup products break down after that period and are not conducive to delicate skin after that.

Also, when not in use or in warm weather, you can store your concealer in the refrigerator, as it is prone to melting and lasts better when refrigerated. Another must do is to always wash your hands before dotting your face or blending your concealer. If you believe in applying it on your face directly, then keep the stick clean and free of germs by wiping it down with a wet wipe after each application. Also, never sleep with a concealer on, as it may clog your pores, causing more skin eruptions.

As a best practice, always wash your face and gently pat it dry before using a cover stick, and after removing it, to ensure all your pores are breathing. There are numerous kinds of concealers available in the market and you must settle for the one friendliest to your skin. For example, if you have oily skin then a gel based cover stick or water based one would suit you well, and for dry skin a creamier stick would work well.

The hallmark of any good stick concealer is that it should not stretch or dry your skin; instead it should look and feel natural. If applied well and effectively, such a good quality, waterproof cover stick can even do away with the need of foundation, lifting your face and making it look fresh and bright by itself.

The following items from our Makeup Kit will be used:

130 Concealer Brush

10 Color Concealer Palette

Corrector Concealer Quad

Now let’s start with the practical…

First I will show you how to apply concealer using the Corrector Concealer Quad. The Corrector Concealer Quad is used on areas such as dark circles, pigmentation marks, pimples, scars and under-eye circles:

Step 1: Clean your client’s face or wipe it with facial wipes to make sure that her skin is free from any makeup residue.

Step 2: Examine her skin to see if there is any area that needs advanced covering such as dark circles, pigmentation marks, pimples, scars, under-eye circles, etc.

Step 3: Use your green concealer on any red areas such as red veins or pimples. Step 4: Use your purple concealer on any yellow areas such as pigmentation marks.

Step 5: Finally, use your orange concealer on areas with a bluish color such as dark under eye circles/patches.


Remember to wipe your brush clean with a tissue between each concealer color.

Now I will show you how to apply concealer using the 10 Color Concealer Palette. The 10 Color Concealer Palette is used on areas where there are uneven skin tone:

Step 1: Clean your client’s face or wipe it with facial wipes to make sure that her skin is free from any makeup residue.

Step 2: Examine her skin to see if there is any area that needs advanced covering such as uneven skin tone.

Step 3: Finally, take your concealer brush and dip it into the concealer. The concealer must be one to two shades lighter than your client’s skin tone. Apply the concealer on the areas to create a more even appearance.
