Should I apply concealer first or cushion first?

Which should I use first, concealer or cushion?

Choose according to your own situation. Generally speaking, it is better to apply air cushion first and then concealer. If the blemishes that need to be covered are not serious and you want a natural and light makeup effect, apply concealer first, and then use the cushion foundation to pat the entire face. If the facial blemishes are deeper, first use a cushion foundation to even out the skin tone and brighten the skin tone, and then use concealer to cover the facial blemishes.

How to Create a Light and Flawless Makeup Base

Step 1: First, apply sunscreen and isolation on the entire face. After application, observe your facial blemishes, such as dark circles, tear troughs, acne scars, etc. Find the location of the blemish, then take a yellow concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin color and apply it to the area that needs to be covered.

Step 2: Use your fingertips or a concealer brush to gently blend the edges of the concealer until it blends naturally with your skin tone. Apply a darker concealer on the edges of the eye bags and a lighter concealer under the eye bags, then blend the concealer you just applied.

Step 3: After applying concealer, you will find that your face looks cleaner and more energetic. Next, gently pat the air cushion foundation all over the face to even out and enhance the skin tone.

Beauty Tips

1. When choosing to buy concealer, you should buy at least two colors, one that is one shade lighter than your skin tone and one shade darker than your skin tone. This will help cover eye bags and dark circles. It is a good idea to buy two-color or multi-color concealers on the market.

2. Concealer products are divided into concealer cream, concealer pen, concealer stick, concealer milk, etc. Everyone should choose concealer products according to their skin type and season. Concealer milk and concealer pen are more moisturizing than concealer, and concealer is more moisturizing than concealer stick. People with dry skin should especially remember this.
