I am overqualified for today's video. I am a concealer expert, a concealer
aficionado. I could write Concealer Mag. It comes out twice a year. We are
understaffed, okay? Times are changing. It's a digital era.
I don't know. I'm sorry that I created my own magazine and that's already failing.
Anyway, hey guys! I'm Sloane Glass and today we're doing concealer 101. What is
concealer? How do I use it? Does it go everywhere? Does it go nowhere?
What do I need to conceal? We're going to answer it all for ya! Okay, so right now I have
no makeup on my face, just some mascara and a little purple eyeshadow on. So
I'm going to put a little primer on because I'm gonna be doing face makeup to show
you guys about the concealer. My desert island beauty products would be
concealer and blush because concealer brings life back to your face and
there are different methods. Yes you can use concealer to highlight. You know what
I'm jumping ahead of myself. Okay, I'm also gonna show you guys my favorite
concealers, different formulas of concealers. It's gonna be lit! Lit from within.
Sorry I'm feeling so wacky today. I use a very
very light layer of foundation and then I spot conceal. For me, I think that is
the best method even if you have cystic acne covering your face, horrible scars, I
promise you you need so much less foundation than you think. So that's
always been my philosophy is to use a little bit of foundation and then go in
and spot conceal. I think if you start with concealer you're going to overwhelm
yourself and you're gonna overuse concealer, overuse product and end up
looking like you're wearing too much makeup, so that's why I like to start
with foundation. Today I'll start with concealer since that's the premise of
this video. What shade should your concealer be? What a phenomenal question
Sloan! Okay, I am a huge proponent that the under eye concealer should be
slightly brighter than the rest of your face. It will make you look awake. So, I
like to make it either fair or light and have pinkish undertones. Why pink or
peach? When I say pink I mean peach. Because that cancels out any blueness or
any bags under your eyes. Anything darker or anything that has
honey or warm undertones are going to accentuate the dark circles. So if you're
using your concealer that you use for your acne and you're wondering why your
under eyes look dark, that's probably why honey! This one from Josie Maran -
The Vibrancy Concealer - is really cool because it sets itself. So this is her
shade "fair" and even though this is the fair shade it's still pretty dark I
would say.I normally pick the "light" shade, but I am going fair for this one.
Then Tarte Shape Tape is my, if I could open it. It is heavy duty. Like, you
need the littlest amount. I'm not kidding you I think one lasts me forever.
It has this doe foot applicator. I will say the doe foot
applicator gets a bit messy so in the beginning I like to just take from it
and be very conscious of that. I don't know why i'm swatching concealers, but I
want to show you guys that the Tarte one is very cool toned in the shade "light"
that's why i love it. I like to use it for any spots that I have since it's
so high coverage. So I'm just gonna put a little bit around my redness. Right? Look
at that guy! I'm excited because then I gotta show you
guys how I cover my spots. Oh and then we're gonna do concealer brushes,
which are so fun. You can't talk about concealer without talking about Bye-Bye
Under-Eye from IT Cosmetics. I'm using the shade "light C". Again, cool tone. I'm
cool tone and for any sort of under-eye I like to veer cool tone rather than
warm because warming up the under eyes can make them look a little harsher.
Bye Bye Under Eye comes out looking a little different from these guys because
it's much more of a tacky formula. It's waterproof. It's not going anywhere. It's
definitely full coverage. I love this brush. It's their Heavenly Luxe Number Two
because I have one side that I can really buff out cuz it's really fluffy,
and then the other one is a little flatter, so I can have a bit more
precision. I'm just going to grab a smaller mirror, step in a bit closer and show
you how I like to buff out the edges of my concealer. So keep in mind that for
these spots I wanted it to look like my skin.
So that's the shade I pick. I'm really just tapping out the product and because
I'm really well moisturized it's blending in really nicely,and I I'm not
picking any products that are drying. See how nice that blended? Now, if we had done
foundation first you definitely have to pick concealer colors that were a little
darker to match my foundation shade. I'm gonna add a little concealer right there under my
brow bone. See concealer can be used for everything! Oh it's so good! It's also
like an eraser like oh let's just erase that mistake. Let's just erase that
eyeliner mistake. Ooh look at those red guys. All right, can't wait to get rid of
those. Okay let's do our under-eye concealing, and I think the best way to
show you guys would be to do it how I do in my everyday life. I'm going to take
a foundation. This is Tarte's Clay Stick in the shade "light beige" and just do a
little. I don't really want a lot of foundation today. I'm actually going to
avoid the spots the need concealing because I want to conceal them. Down my neck and buff it out.
Great! So, that foundation definitely warmed up
my complexion, which I was really looking for with it since I am so pale right now,
and I love this foundation because it still looks so much like skin.
Which concealer to pick? So I've shown you guys our Shape Tape,
Bye Bye Under Eye, our Vibrancy. Then I also have a powder
concealer that is phenomenal! I love a good powder concealer. This one's from
Westmore Beauty. This is almost the opposite of the Josie one because this
goes from powder to cream. A very unusual formula. What's so great about it is I
can layer it over my powder, so if you're a powder girl totally hit up this guy.
It's beautiful. It blends so nicely. I was using it all day yesterday. I was
like mwah! Love you! You know what? I'll do Bye Bye Under Eye because they really get
you with that name. The smallest amount. Can you guys even see how small that amount is?
That's gonna be too much. Okay, you need the tiniest bit of concealer. Why am I
bossing you around? I'm gonna take this brush just to dab it out. See with
the doe foot I could have just put it where I want it, but since it comes in
this applicator I'm going to take the brush. I like to create an upside
down triangle. Okay. This is where I'm adding brightness. I'm using this
concealer to highlight my face because your face is not all one shade naturally.
When you just put on foundation, you use foundation like a mask, it's gonna
look not natural. To blend it out I'm taking the medium size Beauty Blender
this one is sold to be used for blush. Whew! They make a smaller one for
concealer, but I think this one is so cute so I'm gonna use this.
Now I don't ever put my concealer directly under my eyes. That's how I
avoid creasing. I use the illusion of the light and conceal below to help cast
the shadows upwards. I find that that's the best way to not get creasing, use
less makeup and have really bright under eyes. If I go too close to my actual eyes
that's when it starts to look really cakey. So now that my under eyes are
bright, I'm going to go in and spot conceal. For that I'm gonna use my Shape
Tape because I love it so so much, and I'm gonna just go over that spot again
and then right by the corner of my nose I had a breakout so I put some there.
I'll put a bit down the bridge of my nose since I am again using this to
highlight, and even on my chin because I always like to highlight my chin a bit,
and for the sake of this video my forehead. You know what? Honestly, why not
right? We're doing it. It's a concealer video. Okay! Since we're doing it... right?
Who are we hurting? And now ladies and gentlemen we blend it out.
Now for no good reason I blend the areas I care about the least first. I
get nervous about the ones that matter. So it's like my forehead is not worrying
me right now so it's like I could blend this out closing my eyes. I gotta pay
attention when it comes down to here.
Oh, look how good! See how the concealer is blending in with my foundation, but just
like creating a cheekbone? We haven't contoured. We've used no bronzer. We're
really just using concealer. Now I'm taking what's left over on the Beauty
Blender under my eye. Okay, and now I blend out my chin. See it just like gives
my chin a little like.. ooh who's that chin? Who is she? She walks into the bar
and it's like chinny chin chin. A lot of times you see on Instagram and YouTube
people use a dark shade of concealer to contour. Concealer is thick. It is a thick
version of foundation. Your foundation is a thinner version of a concealer.
Foundation goes over everything. Concealer is meant for spots, tinier bits
of your face. That's why it normally comes in a tinier container. Right? Okay.
Using a dark concealer will make your face look super super muddy. There's no
reason to ever buy a dark shade of concealer to contour. The only reason why
you're seeing people do that on the Internet is because they're getting huge
PR packages with a million different shades of foundation and concealer in it.
They don't know what to do with it, so it's like a it's gimmicky is what
they're doing. Don't think you're using your concealer wrong if you're not
using it to contour. That's not what it's made for. That's not what it's meant for
and in the natural daylight that's not gonna look very good. Wow, did I just
spill some tea? Okay now that I am fully blended I have a ton of concealer on
even though I was all like, I just like to spot conceal and use a
little bit. But you guys know what I mean. I am going to set. I love this powder
from Kristofer Buckle. It's translucent and just so finely milled that I find it
makes my skin look like silk. I love it. I screamed the first time I used it. I'm
not kidding you. I think it's so good. Okay, and I actually really love to use
my wet Beauty Blender. I just take a little bit of it, and I'm gonna go over
my chin. We're not to do anything baking or crazy. Just over those spots
that were really stubborn. We're gonna push a little bit of the product in. A
little bit of the powder right? Some people say that their concealer creases
if they don't set up with powder. If that's your case then set it with powder. For me
I don't tend to set my concealer with powder under my under eyes. I think it
makes me look older. This is why I like having two different formulas of a
concealer. Now that everything is set, everything is good
there's still one little spot that maybe you guys can't see, but since I'm a
perfectionist. I do not like but I've done all my powders and I don't really
want to go back in with any sort of cream. It might move things. I don't like
the way that the formulas work together past this point, so I'm gonna go with my
Westmore concealer - the powder guy. This is the shade "light". It's really great
brush that also has two different ends. One for more precision, one for buffing which I
appreciate. I'm gonna take the precision end to get tiny bit of the product.
Always start out small, and just tap it over that spot. Great. See now I'm
satisfied with the level of concealing, but I think if I'd gone back in with a
cream product the whole thing would have been messed up. I like to have this one
in my purse too because throughout the day if your concealer moves
this is a great way to touch up. I know creams get weird when you start putting
them over powders. I think it's fine for the highlight area because you're kind
of wanting it to get weird and natural and gooey, but for the areas that have
blemishes or any sort of hyper-pigmentation underneath it's like,
no. Stay in your lane! Then just a little bit under my brow. Clean them up
ever so slightly. I threw on a little blush and lip gloss. Yeah, so what about it?

so that way you always stay up to date with what we're doing. Oh my gosh you
guys. I feel like I did a really good service today, you know? I can let
everyone know the benefits of concealing. Did I mention by the way if you're
concealing a pimple after your foundation you can just use a little bit
of your foundation. I'll just go in and just tap tap tap tap tap, and just go
over rather than blending it out because you don't want to use that same light
highlight shade of concealer that you were using. You want it to match your
foundation. I don't know if I mentioned that earlier, so I'm gonna say it now. If you have any
concealer techniques that I missed, things that I need to learn, please let me know.
I love learning. I learn so much from you guys.
Mwah! Thank you! Goodbye guys. I will see you next Wednesday on BeautyiQ's YouTube
channel.
