What should I pay attention to when buying a concealer?
First when choosing a concealer you need to consider whether you want a solid or liquid concealer, and what finish. This depends on your skin type which type suits your skin better:
Dry skin:It is best to avoid a solid concealer and go for a liquid concealer. Just make sure the concealer does not have a matte finish, this will only emphasize the dry skin.
Oily skin:we recommend a cream or stick concealer, this ensures that the skin shines less. With oily skin you can choose a concealer with a matte finish.
Once you have found the right concealer, you still need to find the right color. When choosing the color of the concealer, we recommend choosing 1 or 2 shades lighter than your own skin color.
What is the difference between a liquid and solid concealer?
Choosing a concealer is hard enough, and then there are so many different types. But what is the difference between a solid and liquid concealer?
Liquid concealer:a liquid concealer is easier to blend than a solid concealer and therefore has less coverage. However, this does give you a more natural result. A liquid concealer is best used for dry to normal skin.Solid concealer:a solid concealer has a very intense coverage. Because solid concealers are a lot drier, you have to be careful with dry skin, for normal to oily skin a solid concealer is much more suitable.
Is concealer bad for your skin?
No, concealer is not necessarily bad for the skin, but it is important that you take good care of your skin. Clean your skin every morning and evening with make-up remover, so that the skin can 'breathe' again. In addition, it is wise to use a day cream, to hydrate the skin.
