Basic: Concealer

Some of the most famous makeup artists the concealer is the most important makeup product and it is one thing you should never skip, because we all want to have flawless complexion. The concealer is one of the smooth-skin essentials. Its purpose is to cover the dark circles under the eyes or redness caused by broken capillaries. The concealers come in both water-and oil-based types.There are several types of concealer:

Stick concealer:
The stick concealer usually comes as a lipstick type tube. The stick concealers provide direct on-the-spot application. It is appropriate for mild pigmentations and discolorations. Apply it directly on larger spots or areas, and blend it carefully. It isn't appropriate for hiding dark circles under the eyes.

Tube concealer:
It is softer than the creams but is usually very oily. The texture is thinner and creamier than stick concealers and works up like foundation. The Tube concealers must be applied with a domed brush. Tube concealers tend to be greasier and collect in fine lines, so use it sparingly and blend it in slightly by tapping with your ring finger or with a sponge.

Cream concealer:
The cream concealers blend better and stay longer. The concealer is easily applied with a sponge or fingers. It is best for minimizing under eye circles, hiding blemishes and camouflaging skin imperfections. It won't crease, slip around or bleed.

Useful Beauty Tips:
First apply the foundation and then apply the concealer otherwise you may smudge it away when you blend your base make sure you dab or patch the concealer on,never wipe or rub it make sure the concealer matches your skin tone don't use foundation or concealer to shade or highlight the face into a special shape unless a special look is required,instead use blush to shape the face. The right shade of concealer is a shade lighter than your skin to hide acne pits, apply the concealer into the pits, using a fine brush don't apply more than two coats of concealer. For hiding birthmarks and sun spots you will probably need a combination of concealer and foundation while the concealer is still damp, immediately apply powder in order to set, seal and dry the concealer. A concealer with white shade brightens dull skin and makes the skin look healthy.
A concealer with blue shade whitens a reddish complexion.
A concealer with rose or peachy shade gives the skin a glow.
A concealer with green shade helps cover up redness caused by pimples or broken veins.
Drier concealers are better for covering up the face and the creamier concealers are better for more delicate areas such as the nose, the mouth and under-eye area.
A bad one is white, pink, chalky, dry or greasy because they can highlight the flaws.
A good one is smooth, creamy, yellow-based, it blends easily into the skin and makes you look instantly better and brighter.

Hope this helped!

GUESS WHO'S BACK

HEY!!!
THE LAST BLOG I HAD GOT SHUT DOWN! PURE BULLSHIT! LAST TIME I BLOGGED ABOUT FOOD AND RECIPES...THIS TIME, I WAS THINKING ABOUT BLOGGING ABOUT THE NEW FOUND DIVA IN ME! ;)

I'VE ALWAYS DRESSED UP, BUT I DRESS FOR THE OCCASION..IF I'M GOING OUT DINNER - CLUB I DRESS UP! HAIR, MAKE-UP, HEELS, DRESS/DRESSY ATTIRE AND ALL THAT EXTRA SHIT... IF I'M GOING TO A GAME-MOVIES I DRESS DOWN! SNEAKERS, JEANS, T-SHIRT/TANK, MINIMAL MAKE-UP AND A PONYTAIL, NO EXTRA SHIT.

LATELY, I'VE BEEN DRESSING UP! WORK, GAMES ETC.... MY NEW ATTITUDE DRESS AS IF EVERYDAY WERE A FASHION SHOW! AHH, BUT WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THOSE SNEAKERS??? WEAR THEM DUH! LOL THERE IS STILL A LITTLE SNEAKER HEAD LIVING INSIDE ME, AND SHE WILL NEVER DIE! WHAT KIND OF PERSON DOESN'T WEAR SNEAKERS? HA! YOU CAN STILL BE A DIVA AND WEAR SNEAKERS! REMEMBER THIS! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WEAR, ITS HOW YOU ROCK IT! *ROCKI* TRUST ME!!

THE NEWEST FORM OF DIVA THAT IS TRYING TO ENTER ME IS "THE NATURAL HAIR DIVA." I CURRENTLY DO NOT WEAR WIGS/EXTENSIONS OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, I JUST USED A STRAIGHTENER SO MUCH IN 2009 THAT MY HAIR HAS LITTLE TO NO CURL UNLESS I USE MOUSSE, GEL AND CURL SPRY =( I MISS IT!

THERE ARE TWO METHODS TO CHOOSE FROM WHEN GOING NATURAL! WHEN CHOOSING YOU HAVE TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO GO THE MORE DRAMATIC OR THE LESS DRAMATIC WAY..... THE MORE DRAMATIC WAY TO GO WOULD BE DOING "THE BIG CHOP" MEANING SHAVING YOUR HEAD BALD. *BITES FINGER NAILS* ALTHOUGH I HAVE FOUND MYSELF TO BE A BIT ON THE DRAMATIC DIVA SIDE LATELY (BIG HAIR/ DRAMATIC MAKEUP) I'M NOT SO SURE HOW I WOULD LOOK WITH A BALD HEAD.

THE SECOND LESS DRAMATIC METHOD IS "TRANSITIONING" MEANING YOUR GOING FROM A PERMED OR HEAT DAMAGED/STRAIGHTENED STATE TO A NEW NATURAL STATE. WITH THIS METHOD, WHEN YOU HAVE NEW GROWTH YOUR HAIR WILL HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TEXTURES CURLY- STRAIGHT....SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE THIS LOOK...AND MAY MASK IT BY USING A CURLING IRON OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF HEAT SOURCE, WHICH IS A BAD IDEA. AS MORE NEW GROWTH COMES IN THE MORE HEAT WILL HAVE TO BE APPLIED THEN YOUR BACK WHERE YOU STARTED. IF YOUR GOING TO GO THIS ROUTE I WOULD SUGGEST USING GELS OR SOME TYPE OF HAIR LOTION OR POMADE TO MASK THE NEW GROWTH UNTIL IT IS LONG ENOUGH TO TRIM THE STRAIGHT ENDS OFF...?

I AM DEFINITELY NOT A NATURAL HAIR EXPERT, BUT I HAVE BEEN DOING MY RESEARCH. I FELT IT IMPORTANT TO RESEARCH METHODS AND NATURAL HAIR CARE PRODUCTS AS THIS IS A HUGE DECISION! I AM LEANING MORE TOWARD "THE BIG CHOP" METHOD ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IF I'M NOT LIKING HOW LONG THE NEW GROWTH IS TAKING I MAY START USING MY FLAT IRON AGAIN. WITH "THE BIG CHOP" METHOD THERE WILL BE NO HAIR TO F**K WITH AND I WILL JUST HAVE TO LEAVE IT BE! AND, THERE ARE ALWAYS DIFFERENT WIGS YOU CAN PLAY WITH WHILE YOUR WAITING FOR SOME GROWTH! =)

MAYBE SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME WITH MY DECISION, OR OFFER ADVICE/ STORIES/ THOUGHTS ABOUT NATURAL HAIR AND WHICH METHOD TO USE!

THANKS FOR READING!
