The condition of your skin, or at least the appearance of how healthy it looks, plays a huge role in your overall appearance. An even tone and uniform relief, beautiful color and the absence of problem areas, pimples, wrinkles, irritation and even freckles, all this helps to look perfect, but not many people are naturally endowed with such wonderful dermis. Most often, there are problems with the skin, spoiling the appearance and giving an unkempt and careless appearance, which many girls and women dream of getting rid of. In order to make your skin perfect, you will have to put in a lot of effort, but it is not a fact that you will be able to do this at all, but a face corrector palette will help you quite successfully disguise flaws and imperfections, and we will tell you how to use it in our article.

Concealer MAC

Unfortunately, most of the fair sex always have flaws on their faces, but at the same time, every woman wants to be attractive. To hide certain blemishes on the skin of the face, dark circles under the eyes, redness, age spots, acne and much more, women use special products called correctors or concealers. Some of the best are products from the professional brand MAC. We will tell you further about how to use them correctly and how to choose the appropriate option.

Tips for use and life hacks

• The nude concealer you use to correct imperfections should always be slightly lighter than your skin tone.
• Apply pink or beige concealer under your eyes in an inverted triangle, “stretching” the color downwards - this will better hide dark circles. And mask pimples with small dots, without going beyond the redness.

• It is not necessary to use the concealers from the palette only for their intended purpose. They can come in handy, for example, if you want to get a new shade of lipstick. The creamy texture allows you to experiment by mixing products of different colors with each other.

We clearly showed how to use the color corrector palette in this video.

What it is?

Concealer is, in fact, the same corrector for the face. It is used for targeted correction of certain deficiencies. Most often, the concealer has a dense texture, so you can disguise whatever you want, even moles.

Just like foundation, concealers have a fairly large palette of shades, from the lightest to the darkest shades.

This product is considered more effective than any other product, since most often foundation creams can show through age spots or redness, but a pre-applied concealer can easily help you get the perfect complexion tone.

It is very important not to confuse the fact that correctors and concealers are not intended for full use as a foundation for the face, since they need to correct certain areas, and use the foundation afterwards to complete the creation of a flawless and even complexion.

Many people wonder what is the difference between concealer and corrector. Both of these products are designed to correct imperfections on the face, but nevertheless, correctors are considered to have a lighter texture and a wider selection of shades that are aimed at correcting a wide variety of skin problems. But in reality there is no significant difference; the descriptions of these products are almost the same.

Description of concealers

The correctors of this company have won the hearts of many women around the world. Concealer "Mac" can not only even out the complexion, but also visually eliminate many skin imperfections. When chosen and used correctly, it can work wonders.

The basic rule when buying a concealer from this company is that it should be two shades lighter than your skin. To check what shade the Mac concealer has, you can apply it to the back of your hand, and then it will be clear whether the product is suitable.

The manufacturer of professional decorative cosmetics MAC cosmetics has taken care of every woman: the specialists of this company have developed concealers for all skin types.

Advantages and disadvantages

The MAC brand has millions of fans all over the world, including not just lovers of professional cosmetics, but also true masters of their craft, as well as celebrities and other media personalities. The brand differs from all others in its approach to creating products, because they meet international quality standards and are becoming more and more popular and in demand from year to year. However, MAC does not need additional advertising. The brand's products, especially corrective and foundation options, always sell out with a bang.

Correctors from MAC are distinguished by their stability and excellent composition.

They contain many beneficial ingredients and plant extracts. And besides, they are fragrance-free. The formulas of the corrective products are very soft, making the coverage weightless and as natural as possible.

In the brand's range of products you will find correctors with a durability of up to fifteen hours, but in reality they last much longer. In addition, you can easily select the shade of the product you need, since MAC does not skimp on the range of shades. And if you are looking for those same palettes that all makeup artists have, then MAC will help you with that too.

The negative aspects include the high prices of the products, as well as not always convenient dispensers, which use the product very uneconomically.

The professional cosmetics brand MAC is in great demand among makeup artists all over the world, who often work with celebrities. That is why it offers a huge variety of corrective facial products, among which you will find the following options:

• Long-lasting and liquid correctors;
• With durability from 8 to 15 hours or more;
• Professional palettes for face correction;
• Correctors with thickened texture, concentrated options;

All products from the brand have passed clinical tests and been tested by dermatologists and ophthalmologists.

They do not cause acne or clog pores. Most of the products are aimed at all skin types, and in addition, many of them are suitable even for the most sensitive skin.

My review of the Pro Conceal and Correct Palette Medium Deep

Good day everyone! Lately I have been looking more and more at MAC products. The ratio of price and quality has become interesting, and it’s always nice to purchase “famous” cosmetics.

My choice fell on the face correction palette. It was in a cardboard box, standard matte black with the company logo. The palette itself looks cheap. Rectangular in shape, with a plastic lid, which also has the company logo on it.

In general, this line has 4 palettes, but this time I deliberately chose almost the darkest one for sculpting. The palette includes both correctors and concealers. There are 6 shades in total: NC 40, NW 40, NC 42, NW 43, Rich Yellow, Burnt Coral. They can be mixed with each other to obtain a tone closer to the skin tone.

The product is absolutely hypoallergenic. Doesn't clog pores or cause acne. Suitable for any skin type, all that remains is to choose the tone.

The consistency is pleasant, very dense, and will cover even the most serious skin imperfections. It goes on smoothly and does not cause any flaking or unpleasant sensations. It blends out quite easily, I used a sponge for this and applied the product with a flat brush. In some places, you can use your fingers for application, since when blending with your fingertips, the product applies more naturally and sometimes even does not require the use of powder at the end.

I don’t know how correctors would cope with getting rid of a tattoo, but it covers all the imperfections of the face. Easy to apply and doesn't get into creases. Its longevity is high, there are no changes within 5-6 hours. Only after a while does the makeup begin to fade. Bruises appear under the eyes, pimples break out, and the sculpting is no longer as expressive.

Of the minuses, I can note that the product has a very oily dense texture. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The product simply cannot be used in hot weather. No matter how persistent it is, no matter what bases you use, the skin will still begin to furiously cry out for help, through a thick layer. And eventually, in some places, things will just start to flow. Also, it’s almost impossible to do without powder. Even on my dry skin, without a powdery finish, it looks like a solid piece of oil on my face. These are certainly good reasons to take off one star. After all, the product advertises itself as being as durable as possible.

Its consumption is high if you use it every day, even just a little. You don’t even notice how the bottom of the refill is already visible. This happens especially often with yellowish concealer; dark circles under the eyes are an eternal problem.

In the end, I can say that the palette is not bad. Easy to use, covers shortcomings. But I’m unlikely to take it a second time. Such purchases hit your pocket when you know that there are analogs that are much cheaper and that are not inferior in quality.

What is facial concealer

Concealer is a cosmetic product aimed at correcting skin imperfections and highlighting the benefits of the face. Unlike classic corrective sticks, this product can be of almost any shade from porcelain or pearlescent to dark brown, green and blue.

Depending on the imperfections of the skin, a concealer of a certain color is selected. For example, to cover dark circles under the eyes, products of a reddish tint are recommended; to neutralize redness, green or blue products are recommended (depending on the original color of the epidermis).

How does concealer differ from corrector:

• It can be applied both before and after foundation. It is customary to use a corrector exclusively before applying foundation and powder;
• The concealer dries out the skin, so many beauty experts do not recommend using it under the eyes to cover up bruises and redness;
• The consistency of the corrector is denser and thicker. This allows it to cover up large red pimples. But it is precisely because of this feature that the product gets stuck in folds and wrinkles.

Differences between concealer and corrector

Buyers' opinion

But, despite the considerable price, many women choose the Mak concealer for themselves. Reviews about its masking effect can only be heard positive. Praiseful responses come even from the world's leading makeup artists.

Many people note that the concealer lasts all day and does not smear even in the hot season. Customers highly appreciated its cost-effectiveness of use: the cosmetic product in the package lasts for almost a whole year.

Therefore, those who have not yet decided on choosing a concealer company will undoubtedly not regret choosing the manufacturer MAC cosmetics.

Types of concealers

All concealers are classified by shape, color and area of ​​use. They are in form like this:

The palette is the best tool for contouring the face

Selecting each of the necessary products separately is a rather complicated and costly task, both in time and money. The smartest decision would be to purchase a set, a palette of correctors and highlighters, which will allow you to create the perfect appearance. There are both fairly simple options and large palettes for professionals:

• MasterSculpt by Maybelline. Consists of only two shades - contour and highlighter;
• SleekMakeUp, in addition to contour and highlighter, also includes blush;
• Sephora contouring palette consists of 5 natural shades;
• Anastasia Beverly Hills set of 6 shades with dry corrector.

Many cosmetic companies produce contouring kits, including Faberlic, Bobby Brown, and NYX, so there is definitely plenty to choose from.

How to properly apply concealer to your face step by step

The most important point when using this cosmetic product is the scheme for applying concealer to the face. Here the principle is similar to the use of highlighters or bronzers: the depressions need to be darkened, the bulges should be lightened, and the imperfections should be painted over with the correct color.

Step-by-step instructions for applying concealer

Instructions on how to apply concealer to your face:

• First, the base is prepared. Concealers should never be used on unprepared skin. The first to apply is BB or CC cream, moisturizing emulsion, foundation;

  
  Applying cream to skin

• The basic color of the skin is determined. Depending on this, a shade is selected for darkening and lightening. The ideal scheme is to work within two tones, depending on the initial shade of the epidermis (or foundation);

  
  General scheme for applying concealer

• The area under the eyes is painted with an apricot or yellow tint, the upper part of the eyelids is lightened to create the effect of “open” eyes. In the future, when applying eye makeup, the hollows will be darkened and you will get a spectacular soft transition;

  
  Concealer application diagram

• A soft light dot is placed in the center of the cheeks with a brush, which is subsequently shaded. The cheekbones are darkened, as are the ribs of the nose and the upper part of the forehead;

  
  Blending concealer

• To fix the tint veil, mineral powder is used. It is recommended to use thick products, but apply them in a small layer so as not to interrupt the natural “liquid” shine of the skin.

Principles of sculpting with concealer:

• Square face. The lower corners of the jaw, the corners of the forehead and cheekbones are darkened. The areas under the eyes, nose and middle of the forehead are highlighted. If necessary, imperfections are painted over;

  
  Square face correction

• Round . Here only two areas are lightened: the chin and forehead. The temporal lobes, the transition to the hairline on the forehead, and cheekbones are darkened. Be sure to tint the roundness of the cheeks (it is best to use apricot or pink concealers); Sculpting a round face
• In a triangular face it is necessary to darken exclusively the frontal lobe, but the lower part, on the contrary, is highlighted. This will visually widen the chin and even out the proportions.

Mistakes when applying concealer

When sculpting with concealers, it is important to use brushes. Using your fingers, the product will simply rub into the skin and the desired effect will not be achieved. Therefore, it is better to stock up on a special set, for example, Mermaid Multipurpose. If you have absolutely nothing at hand, then it is best to work on the areas with sponges.

Mermaid Multipurpose

The most frequently asked question is whether concealer is applied before or after foundation. Professional makeup artists insist that only after. If you use a corrective product on dry skin, it simply won’t blend out and unsightly spots will remain on your face.

Blending concealer

Applying corrector to your face along with concealer is a grave mistake. These two products have a similar area of ​​effect, but if they are applied to the same area together, they will create a multi-layered stain. An exception is allowed only in the case of working with complex problem skin: post-acne marks, comedones, wen.

Mistakes when applying concealer

Different brands of concealers have different thicknesses, and it also depends on the type of product used. It is much more convenient to work with liquid products. If you only have a thick product, you can revive it with a small amount of moisturizer.

Concealer density

To properly cover a pimple, you don't need to blend it over it. You need to first apply the concealer, then use a thin flat brush to smear a small amount of the product around it. In any other sequence of work, the pimple will not go anywhere.

Benefits of a professional proofreader

Important: the contour is not applied with shimmering or shiny products, in particular bronzer; correctors should be matte. The light concealer is used as a highlighter to highlight certain areas of the face, and the dark one is used to create natural shadows on the face and make the face more defined. Dark correctors are available in different undertones. She masterfully masters this technique, and with its help she can transform into anyone.

Yes, I know that this is blush, it’s just that a lot of girls on YouTube use it as a cheekbone corrector (only for cheekbones), I have a question - why did you tear off their lids? Corrector, also known as concealer, helps hide dark circles, bags under the eyes and other imperfections in appearance. How to choose and apply this product correctly? When choosing a corrector, first of all, identify the problem you want to hide, or a combination of both, advises Elena Grishechkina.

The corrector can be applied independently, under foundation and on top of it, or only with powder as the final stage of makeup. THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE when using concealers and especially correctors is careful shading.
