Concealer Class: Kate Sergi

Q: When applying makeup, when and how do you rely on concealer?
A:  Concealer gives me a brightened and concealed under eye. It also highlights the highpoints of my face. I love that the Cover FX Power Play Concealer comes in shade ‘White’, allowing me to really make my highlights pop on my super pale skin.

Q: Concealer is a gift! But using it properly can be tricky. Please describe some concealer “oops” you’ve seen or experienced.
A: When poor coverage concealers are used to conceal dark circles - that's a big 'oops' in my book. If they aren’t high enough in coverage they can create an ashy/green tinge to the skin.

Or....concealer instead of lipstick! Yep this was a trend back in my high school days. Think of the lightest beige skin tone concealer applied straight to the lips with a clear gloss on top. T A C K Y!

Q: How does Power Play Concealer stand out vs. other concealers you’ve used?
A: The coverage, and weightless skin finish are second to none. I’ve never used a product that offers such a high coverage yet sets like your actual skin.

Q: Share a tip (or two!) about using concealer—and using it properly.
A: Less is more, never go straight in for a sweep with the applicator as you may over apply.

Blend the concealer out with the warmth of your fingertips, I find when applying concealer that minimizing the use of tools can keep the coverage at its fullest.

To conceal a blemish, use a brush the same size as the blemish. I also like to use the Cover FX Mattifying Primer due to it containing Salicylic Acid, to prep the blemish at the beginning of the makeup.
