concealer how-to:


first off let's all take a minute and recognize the awesome shiners under my eyes. no i did 
not get punched in the face nor did i walk into a door nob. that's just straight up natural. 
aren't i lucky? right. now that we got that elephant out of the room... 

start with applying your foundation or liquid moisturizer evenly over your entire face.
 i just use my hands to apply and make sure to sweep it under your eyes and over your lids! 
step 1: grab a liquid concealer, i use a 2 in one stick from physicians formula, it's super affordable.
 apply three dots under your eyes and blend gently with the tip of your finger. 
step 2: take a light cream concealer and form a triangle from the inside corner of you eye,
 straight down the side of your nose and out towards the outer corner of your eye. 
after you draw the triangle blend it in a little with a concealer brush.
step 3: take a darker shade of concealer and work it right into where you just put the 
lighter concealer. this will help blend everything and help it look more natural.
{this concealer compact is from laura mercier and it is the bees knees.
but here is a cheaper version as well.}
 blend. blend. blend. aaaand blend.
Step 4: the last step is to set your concealer with powder! {i use bare minerals.} 
 this will help keep it from budging and smudging all over the place.

 that's it! all i have to say is thank the good lord for makeup, amen and amen.
i am by no means a makeup pro but this is how i apply my concealer and i
love the coverage it gives. if you try it let me know how it works for ya!

I need this soooo badly these days but not sure I have the energy to cover up! That's life with a 6 month old I guess ;)

I should probably give this a try. I've been making "concealer" from Bare Minerals blended with moisturizer, and it's just not enough. Thanks for the demo.
