A good concealer can go a long way. This essential beauty product has the power to hide everything–literally, everything like under-eye bags, dark circles, pimples, dark spots, redness, wrinkles, and every other skincare concern under the sun. And, if you’re using the right formula for your skin, it can make you look instantly younger, too!

Concealer Tips And Tricks

But, before you even think about applying concealer, Streeters makeup artist STOJ says that you need to make sure that your skin is prepped properly first. “I like to apply a hydrating facial sheet mask to my clients face while they have their hair styled. This gives my client added hydration before I apply any makeup,” she tells SheFinds. “Trust me, by staying hydrated you will reduce the appearance of wrinkles!”

Concealer For Dark Circles

When it comes to concealing dark circles, which is something everyone over 30 hates having to deal with, STOJ always reaches for Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Concealer. “[It’s] a great concealer. I love the two shades. Great for covering up dark under eye circles. Perfect to cover the skins undertone,” she says.
