#WATERPROOF CONCEALER SKIN#
No matter where you are on your makeup-wearing journey these days, there's a full-coverage concealer for every skin type and desired finish. When using concealer to contour, makeup artist Joanna Schlip says "because contouring should look like a shadow, you want to choose a concealer color that is around two shades darker than your own complexion." When using concealer to highlight, Schlip says to pick a hue that's one shade lighter. Not only because your skin tone can change from sun exposure, but you may want to try highlighting and contouring with the base. It's always a good idea to have two shades of concealer on hand. The multitasking base also comes in handy for highlighting or creating a subtle contour.

Ideal for spot-concealing, hiding hyperpigmentation, and camouflaging dark circles - concealer is the product that you'll want to do the heavy lifting. If concealing a blemish is your priority, a sheer-coverage cream like a tinted moisturizer (or even a tinted sunscreen) paired with a full-coverage concealer, can easily do the trick. Where foundations can sometimes feel too heavy for everyday wear, full-coverage concealers can step in as your new base bestie. But there is actually a wide range of full-coverage concealers that offer a buildable base, which gives skin a natural-looking, smooth finish all on its own. If you're someone who doesn't put on a full face of makeup every day, you may have an idea that concealer is reserved only for full-on, heavy makeup looks.
