Q1. What to keep in mind while buying concealers?
Ans. While buying a concealer one must not only just look at the price tag but also the ingredients used in the manufacturing. Always buy a concealer that is a shade lighter to that of your natural skin tone.
Q2. What is the procedure to apply concealer for the best results?
Ans. While applying concealer make sure to apply the foundation first as a base before any other beauty product. Always go for eye make-up and lipstick only after applying the concealer.
It somewhat depends upon the quantity being applied. If you are applying a large amount of concealer then it is better to use your finger tips otherwise brush can be used.
All the above products are quite popular in the market and are readily available both on online platforms and in the local cosmetic stores. You can choose any one of the concealers on the basis of your requirement, skin type and budget.
