Artistry 101

The formula for a flawless complexion is pretty simple – primer, foundation, concealer. The first two are a piece of birthday cake, you just apply, blend, and you’re done. But the secrets behind how to apply concealer and where to apply concealer are a little more in the universe of an expert beauty-lover. Why? It all depends on what you want to use concealer for and what benefits you want to get out of our pro-level Morphe formulas. Whether it’s a pimple that popped up, dark circles, or the goal of brightening the face for added dimension, we’ve got you covered. Literally.

You’ll be concealing like a pro in no time.

HOW TO CHOOSE A CONCEALER

We know you like you switch up your look day to day, so having a few different concealer formulas on hand will seriously level up your artistry. The Morphe
Filter Effect Soft Radiance Concealer is a radiant, medium coverage formula that hydrates and nourishes skin with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and pomegranate seed extract as it conceals imperfections and dark circles. Long-wearing, sweatproof,
transfer-resistant, and water-resistant, this is a great everyday concealer
that is flexible for any look or concealer goal.

If you’re going for a more subtle, no-makeup makeup vibe, the Morphe 2 Hide & Peek Concealer is super lightweight and sheer-to-medium coverage so you can even out your skin tone, enjoy subtle brightening benefits, all while your natural skin shines through. The finish is natural for a fresh-faced look.

WHAT’S YOUR CONCEALER SHADE?

Believe it or not, choosing your concealer shade also depends on your concealer goals. If you are concealing imperfections and dark circles, choose a shade that is aligned with your natural skin tone as closely as possible. If you want to brighten around your nose and nose, then we recommend choosing a shade 1-2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone.

Whether it’s a pimple that popped up, dark circles, or the goal of brightening the face for added dimension, we’ve got you covered.

THE STEPS AFTER CONCEALER

Now that you’ve mastered the concealer game and your skin is even, radiant, and bright, you can move onto the rest of your complexion steps. Make sure to set all your hard work by pressing a conservative amount of Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder over anywhere you applied concealer.
