Problem-Specific Techniques
1. Acne & Pimple Coverage
❌ Mistake: Caking concealer over active breakouts → Flaky mess!
✅ Pro Method:
① Cleanse + spot treat → Let dry
② Dot green corrector ONLY on redness → Pat to blend edges
③ Stipple skin-tone concealer (matte finish) with tiny brush → Avoid rubbing!
④ Set minimally with powder on a micro-brush
2. Dark Under-Eye Circles
❌ Mistake: Applying thick concealer in semicircles → Gray, cakey finish
✅ Pro Method:
① Hydrate eye area → Apply peach corrector in inner corner + bluest area
② Place concealer 1-2 shades lighter in inverted triangle
③ Blend with damp sponge → Tap, don’t drag!
④ Set with translucent powder using a puff → Press, don’t sweep
3. Tear Troughs (Under-Eye Hollows)
✅ Pro Method:
① Use peach corrector ONLY in the shadow line (not entire under-eye)
② Apply light-reflecting concealer on the raised area below the hollow
③ Blend upwards → Avoid product in the crease!
④ Set with micro-powder → Add a touch of matte highlighter below the hollow
4. Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)
❌ Mistake: Packing concealer into folds → Cracks within an hour!
✅ Pro Method:
① Moisturize well → Use gripping primer
② Apply thin layer of concealer only on the puffed area above the fold
③ Blend downwards → Keep fold line product-free!
④ Set with spray first, then lightly powder
5. Hyperpigmentation & Dark Spots
✅ Pro Method:
① Color-correct (green for red spots, orange for brown spots)
② Use full-coverage, long-wear concealer
③ Stipple with flat brush → Build coverage in thin layers
④ Set with powder → Spritz setting spray to melt layers
