As a beginner, starting with just the concealer is very easy and hustle free. Concealer helps to conceal the blemishes and pigmentation and gives the face even tone look.
We can choose two different shades of concealers one is the shade of your skin to conceal dark spots and pigmentation generally under the eyes, and around the mouth and around the nose bridge. And the second shade of concealer is one shade lighter to you skin which helps to brighten your face up and highlight your features by using it under your eyes, on your nose and center of your forehead and on your chin.
For everyday look just using concealers is very convenient. Some girls have very dark under eyes, Indian skin usually have dark circles under the eyes, so they can start with a little amount of orange or peach colored concealer which cancel out the darkness and then using the concealer which is the same shade of your skin and then applying a little amount of lighter shade will brighten up your eyes and face.
Choosing a good quality concealers is very important and apply it in right way just by pressing lightly with sponge, brush or fingers onto your skin. Do not drag the sponge or brush or your fingers, all you need to do it dabbing the concealer into the skin lightly and patiently until it looks like skin. Here are my most favorite concealers which work best on Indian skin.
1. Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer
I have been using this concealer over five years now and it’s been one of my favorite concealer for all time. It really does erase the pigmentation under the eyes so well that it feels like I never had pigmentation under the eyes. It is available in nine different shades to choose from. I use shade medium to even out the skin and shade light to highlight. It is best drugstore concealer ever. The applicator is cushiony sponge on the top which makes the application easy.
2. M.A.C Studio Finish Concealer
M.A.C is known for its best base makeup either it is their foundation or concealer. This is cream based concealer comes in a very cute jar. The concealer is full coverage and does the job perfectly. It has 17 different shades to choose from. Usually Indian skin fall into the shades from NC20 TO NC40. I got NC30 but I feel like I need one shade lighter. So before purchasing this concealer, go to nearest M.A.C store and check your right shade. It is very easy to apply. I apply my concealer with the help of fingers and all you need is tiny amount to conceal. The jar looks small but it last you so long. It is on expensive side but worth the money.
3. L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD
I have used this concealer a lot and almost emptied four-five tubes. It is a medium coverage concealer and has more than thirty shades to choose from. This concealer is for all skin type and available for all skin tone. It is very pocket friendly. I am in the shade pure beige. If you need a cream contour go two shades darker from your skin and this concealer will become your contour. The wide range of the shades is the plus point of this concealer.
4. L’oreal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer
This concealer gives you full coverage and cancel out dark spots, pigmentation and blemishes instantly. I really like the large doe foot applicator which makes it easy to use. The only down side of this concealer that it has only three shades to choose from. I am in the shade 314. It is pocket friendly and work best on Indian skin tone.
5. NYX Professional Makeup Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Contour Concealer
This is one of my recent discovery and I love this concealer. It is very light weight and gives you medium coverage and work beautifully to conceal all the blemishes and pigmentations. It is available in seven shades and I am in the shades true beige. It has more darker shades so lighter skin tone can use this as contour. The applicator is very precise so you can apply easily inner corner of your eyes.
For Heavy Dark Circle:
1. Kay Beauty Color Corrector
People who have very heavy dark circle under the eyes should use color corrector. Peach and orange color corrector cancels out the darkness. Peach color corrector is for fair to medium skin tone and orange color corrector is for medium to deep skin tone. The amount of color corrector use generally is very little. On top of color corrector use your skin tone concealer and to brighten up and to highlight use one shade lighter on top of that. This color corrector are cream based and easy to apply. The stick gives you control on how much you want to use and it is pocket friendly.
These are my favorite concealers. The texture and coverage of these concealers are very nice. Try out and let me know which is your favorite one.
