Lock that concealer down ASAP
I got a message from the makeup goddesses the other day. Do you wanna hear it? Well, you’re gonna have to, even if you don’t want to, since it’s CCI (Crucial Concealer Info).
Here it is: when you’re working with concealers…or doing just about anything else in life, timing is everything. With concealer, I’m speaking about the timing of when you apply setting powder to it.

Because it’s gotta occur best away, as well as I imply promptly after you’ve done that last pat, blend as well as whatever. best at that moment, get a brush, as well as dust your setting powder on top with a quickness, girl!
It’s like when you discover a great cat… You gotta lock that ish down best away. I did it with Tabs, as well as I typically do it with my concealer, buuuuuut I didn’t do it that method the other day.
I was putting on my deal with in the morning, and, as you know, I have a pimple (I keep speaking about him since he’s essentially been running my life for the past month or so). His name is Julian, as well as he’s a beautiful shade of dark purple now, so I’ve been color-correcting him with an orange lip pencil, of all things.

Anyway, I did the color corrector, set it with powder, then used a liquid concealer on top. Now, typically I would have promptly set it with a powder at that point, however I got distracted as well as started doing other things.
When I went back to the mirror five minutes later, the orange color corrector had bled through, as well as I ended up with a huge orange area on my chin.
Whoops!
That never, ever occurs when I set my concealer with a powder best away.
The whole timing thing likewise applies to under-eye concealer, too. If you truly want it to stay in place, have your setting powder prepared so you can rapidly dust a sheer layer on top. This stops it from creeping into fine lines as well as whatnot.
