My Favourite Method for Applying Concealer

When it comes to applying concealer, there is tons of advice out there - apply it before foundation, apply it after foundation, apply it with your fingers.... Today I am sharing my favourite way to apply concealer.

My favourites: Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof 12-Hour Concealer, $26, available at Sephora stores, sephora.com or tartecosmetics.com. EcoTools smudge brush and highlighting brush from the Essentials Eye Set, $7.99 at Rexall drug stores or ecotools.com

Over the years, I have learned that less is more. That definitely is true when we are talking about concealer. I find that the more you use, the more obvious it is that you're covering something up. Instead of a concealer brush, I like to use two tiny brushes, either eye or lip, to apply my concealer. First, I apply foundation to my face. I then use the smaller brush to apply concealer to the blemish and I use the bigger brush to blend. Finally, I set the concealer with a little bit of powder to make sure it lasts throughout the day. That's all there is to it!

My Favourite Method for Applying Foundation

Like concealer , there are so many ways to apply foundation. I just started using this method and it's by far the best I've ever tried. It looks totally natural while providing great coverage. Squeeze about a dime size amount of liquid foundation onto the back of your hand. With a clean finger, dot foundation all over your face. Using a flat top brush, stipple the foundation into your skin and lightly buff it into your face and neck until blended. Repeat these steps if you want full coverage. That's it!
