Concealer is one of the most useful products in a makeup routine. It can help cover dark circles, small imperfections and redness, or simply add brightness to specific areas of the face.

The secret, however, isn’t using more product. It’s choosing the right shade, the right level of coverage and applying it only where you actually need it.

How to Choose the Right Concealer Shade

The right shade mainly depends on where you want to use your concealer.

To cover blemishes and imperfections, choose a shade as close as possible to your natural skin tone and foundation. This helps create a more even and natural-looking finish.

For the under-eye area, you can choose a slightly lighter shade if you want to create a brighter-looking effect.

Concealer for Dark Circles

The under-eye area usually requires a slightly different approach from the rest of the face.

Start with a small amount of concealer and focus it mainly on the areas where shadows are more visible. Then blend using your fingers, a makeup sponge or a brush.

At Orea Project, you can find options such as the Long Stay Concealer by Astra Make-Up, designed to provide coverage for dark circles and imperfections.

What Is Colour Correcting?

Sometimes, before applying your regular concealer, you may need an additional step: colour correcting.

Colour correctors use different shades to visually neutralise specific tones in the complexion.

For example, green is commonly used to counteract the appearance of redness, while peach and pink shades can be used around the under-eye area depending on your skin tone.

The Color Concealer by Astra Make-Up offers different correcting shades, allowing you to target different concerns before continuing with the rest of your base makeup.

Concealer Before or After Foundation?

For a classic makeup look, you can start with foundation and then add concealer only to the areas where you need extra coverage.

This can help you avoid applying unnecessary product and allows you to gradually build the level of coverage you want.

If you’re using a colour corrector, apply it before your foundation and concealer.

Less Is More

One of the most common concealer mistakes is applying too much product.

More concealer doesn’t necessarily mean better coverage. Start with a small amount, blend it well and add more only where you really need it.

This can help you achieve a more natural and even-looking finish without making your base makeup feel too heavy.

The Right Concealer Can Make a Difference

Whether you want to cover dark circles and imperfections or simply brighten specific areas of your face, concealer can easily be adapted to the result you want to create.

The key is choosing the right shade and using only as much product as you need.
