What should you look for in a concealer?
Hiding acne or discoloration or smoothing fine lines is about more than just applying it. According to Bruce, what’s important here is the actual formula.
Coverage: “Choose a concealer with enough coverage to address your specific concerns, such as blemishes, age spots, and dark circles under your eyes.” He recommends using medium coverage or add-on coverage for these specific concerns.
Shade match: “Make sure the shade of your concealer matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter for a brightening effect.” To lighten dark circles under your eyes, it’s best to choose a color one or two shades lighter than your perfect match.
Longevity: “Choose a long-lasting formula that won’t fade or wrinkle throughout the day.”
Skin benefits: “Look for concealers with skin care ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and peptides to hydrate, brighten, and treat skin concerns.”
