Every person is beautiful in their own ways.  No skin is an ideal skin and no skin type is considered as bad. Women, in general, face a lot of self-doubts when it comes to their beauty. We know you are as beautiful as it is. Make-up, therefore, acts as a way through which one can brighten up their tones, experiment with their look.

In general, today make up is known for providing a layer of confidence in women as well as men. Today, makeup is no longer used as a means through which one can hide their real beauty but a way through which one can highlight it. Hence, Concealers are considered as one of the bases through which the base of a makes up is set. However, with winter comes dryness and dullness, no worries we have the best concealers for you which will not just glow up your skin but also hydrate it.

Concealers are the need of every person from college-going kids to office going looks. There is the cover for every look just through the help of one concealer. Given below is a list of top 25 Concealers that have made a statement and promise for the betterment of your skin.

What is Concealer?

We all have beautiful skin, but due to the environment and many other factors, our skin sometimes gets affected by dark circles, age spots, blemishes, etc. which are visible on the surface.

We need something to hide them, and the magic potion required for this is the “concealer.” It is quite similar to the foundation, but it is more pigmented than the foundation and hence instrumental in hiding spots by blending itself into the skin.

Types of Concealers

It comes in many forms but most popular are these three forms: –

Cream

             It works wonders because it has heavy coverage. Because of its creamy texture, it is suitable for dry skin. But the way of applying cream concealer is essential because if not applied correctly, then it could give a cakey finish.

Liquid

              It is the most popular one because it works well on all skin types. It camouflages acne, erases dark under-eye circles, and even highlights to perfection.

Stick

             Because of its thick texture, its utility lies in some cases only. But it is quite popular among women as it is easy to carry.

Pencil

             It is rarely used because it can do the conceal thing but not in a brilliant manner.

How to choose a concealer

The selection of a concealer depends on various factors, some of the important ones are according to your skin type, part of your face that you need to conceal, type of coverage required, and color.

For Dry skin

Dry skin types can be tricky. AS hard as it is to find a concealer for them, so is every other product, like body soaps, body washes, etc. Cream-based concealer is a better choice since it will not dry up.

For Oily skin

             Liquid concealer is ideal for oily skin since it will give a matte finish. Cream- based concealer is not suitable for this skin type as it tends to clog and add a greasy shine.

For Combination skin

             Liquid concealer is a better choice for this skin type.

It is advisable to select a concealer with matching shade, like that of the color of your foundation, when you wish to conceal only a part of your face.

But in case of under-eye correction, select a shade that is no more than two shades lighter than your skin tone, which in turn will ensure that there is no white circle around the eye.

Know your Concealer

It is advisable to know the key ingredients in any cosmetic product before one begins to use it.

A concealer is formulated with the following key ingredients:

• Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil
• Dimethicone
• Glycerin
• Talc
• Hydrolyzed Rice Protein
• Glyceryl Stearate
• Kaolin
• Mineral Oil
• Hydrolyzed Corn Starch
• Fragrance
• Oleyl Alcohol
• Sodium Chloride
• Color Additive
• Water

Steps to apply concealer

Cleanse your face and prep it with a moisturizer or primer.

It is your personal choice that either you apply concealer first and then the foundation, or vice-versa.

Now dab the concealer on the areas to be concealed (note: never rub it, always pat it).

Lastly, set the concealer with a light dusting of loose or pressed powder.

Points to remember while applying concealer:

You should take concealer in hand and swirl your finger on the palm to warm up the formula, and then apply it either with your finger or brush. This will help in the perfect blending of the formula because it contains waxes and natural oils, which are very effective in the presence of heat.

When you use it for under- eye correction, then always apply in a triangular shape and blend it nicely.

Always apply a lightweight layer of concealer for a better finish.
