How to Use Concealer

[ArkenWest1219]

Okay does a concealer exist that can cover blemishes as well as under eye problems?

[lavvy2585]

Erin I am going to start using sponges for the application or smoothing out of the concealer as the brush seams to cause creases. What would be the best sponges for this?

[tricksterschoices]

You are SO helpful. I am so subbing. You are absolutely gorgeous and so knowledgeable of your craft. :)

[EmptyyaPockets]

amazing



[ArtisticTrepr]

The best concealer vid I've seen so far! Thanks so much for such great information :)

[candikking]

dwl@ sitting like plow on her face! lololol. hilarious.  This technique is VERY interesting. I must try it.

[lindzluvsmakeup]

Thank you! this was very helpful!

[trenab]

I am new to all this so I loving ur vids. So here is my question -- do i choose the right concealer for my skin tone?

[dianne167]

how do u suggest covering up hyperpigmentation around the chin area

[mstyana]

Question. Im trying to build my makeup artist kit. Do you recommend the three custome concealer palettes? If so do it works well with pictures or everyday makeup?

[11JLZ]

"everything was just sitting like PLOW, on her face" lmao :) thanks for the vid I never really use concealer cos I never felt like I needed to but I'm thinking of starting because I do have the odd day when I have dark circles around the eyes. I might look into the MAC as well.

[QueenAnn01]

I learned a lot from this video but could you tell me what good is a sheer Concealer? I thought a Concealer was suppose to hide the flaws in your skin.

~Thanks~

[luverchick]

I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS...YOU ARE SO THOUROUGH AND INFORMATIVE =D

[nhysaw]

[cuttieBUNNY1]

[cuttieBUNNY1]

do u have to apply powder?

[scandalousbeauty]

@cuttieBUNNY1 Nope

[FASHIONISTADARLING]

does the bobbi brown creamy concealer work on blemishes or is the mac studio finish one better? some people love the mac one and others say it is too dry. however the bobbi brown one is marketed for under eyes, but some people use it on blemishes. which one do you think is better?

[scandalousbeauty]

@FASHIONISTADARLING Studio finish is buildable, I suggest that!

[SammieBooBoo1]

hey this is really long! i cannt wach this!

[RJ6991]

WHY DO PEOPLE USE A CONCEALER FOR UNDER THE EYES?

[TheLoveableToasty]

@RJ6991 So they can cover their under eye darck circles :3 evens the face out...or some just use it too brighten the eye area.

[scandalousbeauty]

@RJ6991 It helps conceal dark circles!

[ebonee206]

love your video's and loved that concealer

[cjk03140]

[hotmulatto]

You are hilarious! Good tips, thanks girl.

[LifeChanger711]

I have 1 small scar on my left cheeck that always is visible in pictures that I take. I am going to take pictures at an event later this month. Is there a concealer that may fill in the scar that u know about? Standard ones I get at local stores don't work. Any body that knows, pls answer. Tks.

[sfrsh]

@LifeChanger711 cover effects concealer, conceals ANYTHING go to your local sephora.

[sfrsh]

@sfrsh I meant cover FX sorry.

[videogirlzzzzzz]

Yaay! Thanks so much!

[lan1610]

thanks for the tips.

[channienyc]

What color are you wearing in the MUF hd conceiler?

[channienyc]

You are too funny ... "sitting like plow" lmao ... you are so right though.

[creamie44]

<3 it..2 cute im about 2 practice now! thanks.. keep posted

[bee5120]

Do u have to use moisturizer before using concealer? What if I have oily skin? I'm afraid of making my skin more oily by using moisturizer :(

[sweety2285]

I have dark spots on my cheecks and very dark circles around my eyes. I curently use NC 50 foundation and NW 45 Concealer. But the dark spots seem to still show. What shade would you sugguest? Great video by the way.

[Classy281]

Thank U!! ..So Helpful

[tashbarr9]

Wow you are so helpful!

Thank you so muchhh :)

[loveologie]

why do you hate the mac 194 brush ? i bought it yesterday... :(

[dogyhigh]

hey this might sound wierd but im a guy and i have a birthmark on my wrist. Its not light its dark. i mean dark. its about the size of 2 quarters. I want to know if theirs a type of makeup that can cover it while im in school and with freinds and also make it seem like my normal skin, also while im in gym or the summer running around i dont want it to like sweat off so you can see my birthmark. Do you know a concealer or no. Thanks

[vegasyvette]

You should try DermaBlend cover creme and translucent setting powder. I use it and it's very good. Sweat-proof, waterproof, and completely opaque. They sell it at Ulta, Dillards, Macy, and a few other department stores.

[BeautyDivaAllm3]

I love Dermablend have you tried it, checkout my video

[madkeekee]

What about stick concealers?

[nataliasdunson]

lol@ 4:14 you are so funny.

[Cb4mbm1]

Are you supposed to use a lighter concealer then your normal foundation color? B/c tht's what i heard and i've been using wet 'n' wild cover stick lighter tone, then i put milani in my face color is this right?

[SaveTheEarth552]

thats the preffered method, especially for dark spots or circles.

[lovemuffin10101]

no you only use a lighter shade if you are trying to highlight...if you want to conceal you use a shade the SAME COLOUR AS YOUR FACE if you use a lighter colour on the spot you only draw attention to it

[033nikki]

Great tips, thanks for sharing.

[kelcieya]

the billy bean brush #4, is there a mac brush like that?anyone can answer but plz get back to me! thx

and erin ur the best makeup guru on yt, thx for the tips!

[EbonyGirlSpeaks]

you made this seem so simple. I just brought a concealer from Smashbox. now with these tips I will be experimenting with it tomorrow...thanx for sharing.

[NikiD40]

Good video and great tips. Also, for serious under eye circles you can use the Graftobian Hi-Def Corrector Palette (which is awesome) and then pair it with your favorite concealer and you're all set.

Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. Blessings.

[luckyinlife83]

crazy question..anyone can answer.

so i get my lips waxed and i don't want to run to get it done very often..would it be ok to use concealer for this reason? would it look weird?

[kweencessX]

Lol, concealer can cover some stray hairs yes, so you could probably get away with it for a little while. Just make sure you apply it well.

[JustSara96]

i'm not sure if concealer works for this but bleaching work really well.

[danib67]

erin, is there a difference between MAC Select Cover Up Concealer & the one you use in this vid in terms of coverage???

[Girlwith3EEEs]

Great video! I've been using you concealer buffing technique for a while and it looks so good.

My makeup artist friend uses the 194 for applying lipstick; now I use it too, and it has better coverage than the typical lipstick brush.

[moorea30]

very nice thank you..

[crosstifp]

Thanks so much! I think wearing concealer as foundation for everyday. Probably with some ben nye powder.

[tsexual]

Ew. I hate that brush too. I don't have the heart to throw brushes away or I would have booted every holiday SE brush I have ever gotten from MAC... boo.

[TheUltimateLady]

Erin, please do a product review on make-up foundations, concealers, etc. that do not rub off. Also, give tips on how to avoid rubbing off of make-up. I struggle with this issue. I have gone through many articles of clothing due to make-up rub-off. Please help!! Good job on the channel!!

[rosje2007]

Hi Erin, this vid is very helpfull.

[iheartcandy6]

i think your channel is such a good idea, because you see lots of girls doing makeup videos but hardly any that have dark skin so its good to see how you use makeup :)

love your channel

[micab00]

@iheartcandy6 i agree !!

[britishbaje]

why is concealer sold in such small pots?

weird question, i know but im still a beginner but often just use studio tech around my eyes (for work) as the area is a bit dark. but i guess i could use a concealer instead?

im not sure what the difference is.

[TiMalice2009]

Are you chewing gum?

[Getitgirl816]

Hi Erin!!!!!!!

[curlygurl7]

Just wanted to comment on CoverFx, since I use it daily. I used to have some really bad discoloration due to acne scaring and within the last two months it has almost completely diminished (i've been seeing the derm.) but still use their products on a daily basis. Yes, you can get a really full coverage where it leaves your skin flawless, however, you can take it to a natural finish as well (even the cream foundation). I highly recommend it & love it since I finally found my color match :)

[Reicya]

Thank you so much for this vid! Concealer is my least mastered product. I will give it another try thx to you!

Shalom & Blessings!

[PaisleyStrawberry23]

I love how you mark the time for different topics in the side bar. Thanks!

[jenniandthebets2]

very helpful,Thanks! :D

[scandalousbeauty]

Luck? Maybe? Trust me, it gets dark under there!

[scandalousbeauty]

LOL I gotcha!

[magginine]

your skin is fantastic without makeup!!! amazing!

[StarrQuality1]

What  lipstick do you have on??? It's beautiful!!!

[scandalousbeauty]

It's Scarlett Empress by MAC! I'm a big fan too! Thanks!

[girlcanpaint0412]

Very helpful vid as always " like so" love it.

[scandalousbeauty]

LOL That's so funny how you always call me out on that!! Enabler!

[ThePoeticflava]

I really have learned so much watching ur, & others' vids. I nvr was really a make up gurl b4, however since watching I hv cum 2 love love love make up, & im getting bettr @ applying evryday. Thank you sooo very much {{Wink}}!

[scandalousbeauty]

Yay! Glad to help!!!!!!

[queenanala26]

Hey what do you know about Kevyn Aucoin???

[scandalousbeauty]

His line is great, his foundations are pricey but phenomenal! I had a lipgloss of his but I lost it. Own 3 of his books. That's all I know! lol

[cocopuffNC]

I agree with the 194 brush. It really sucks as a concealer brush, but I have found that it works perfect as a lip brush!!

[scandalousbeauty]

Great idea!!!

[scandalousbeauty]

@cocopuffNC Exactly!

[copydex1]

Very helpful video. I've got the same MAC concealer you mentioned in this video. It has an SPF and I find that it looks awful in photographs. Do you have any recommendations for non-spf concealers. Thanks :)

[scandalousbeauty]

Oh no! I love it in pictures! Maybe the Becca??? I need to do some research on that.

[ShereeW1]

This video was VERY helpful!!!

[Drroxxette]

Great video honey!!! I'm actually in the market for concealers right now and this video was super helpful! I've heard great things about MUFE's concealer/corrector palette so I may give that a shot since I change shades from summer and winter.

Hope you had an awesome New Year!

Hugs!

[scandalousbeauty]

Thanks girl! CRAP...I forgot to feature that!! I'm a loser. Geez.

[mezkiagirl]

Thank you for the tip. I always have problems with concealer, I will try this way :)

[pinkpebl]

Thank you so much for this video! i've always had propblems with my studio finish concealer..it is not smooth in the pot and feels like i have to heat it up to get it to be creamy..

[duciaciao]

yeah your skin is beautiful.

I had a question, if you put spf 15 moisturizer first then the concealer will your face still be protected from the sun?

Thxxxx , hope you reply : )

[swannavon]

@duciaciao Yes, your skin will still be protected by applying sunscreen, and then concealer or foundation.

[Priestess05]

Hi Erin! I was wondering what your thoughts are on a shade of undereye concealer for me. I am NC40 skintone, and use NC 35 concealer, but I hear some ladies in my skintone use NW25 for under the eyes. How would that shade differ from the NC 35? TIA

[moonjohnson1]

needed that , it helps out alot-- thank beauty queen

[asialashelle]

lmao @ "sittin like plow on ya face"....great vid!

[BronzevilleLady]

Great Video! I just bought some of Makeup Forever's Professional Face and Body liquid makeup and conceler. I like the look, very light and sheer, but I did notice shine nose and cheeks and some creasing in the lid. Can u recommend a powder? Oh and is a primer really necessary? Thanks

[kokofemme]

Once again the teacher has spoken. Gurl a year ago I would have been like huh and what....but now...I got it down pat and it's b/c of people such as yourself and a few others that have taught me the basics! Thanks a bunch gurlfriend and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶Kokofemme

[scandalousbeauty]

I love you Koko! You're the cutest. lol

[HappieMix]

i'm such a noob lol but when you do touch-ups do you need to wipe off the makeup you already had on? or do u just apply it on top?

[pinkpebl]

@HappieMix

Apply it on top. But remove shine with blot paper.

[HappieMix]

thank you!! ;)

[nmc37]

Wow-Your skin in flawless.

[purpleberry245]

wow! no face make up, you have really pretty skin

[tanaynicole]

FYI- The "lighter undereye" work well to decrease the shadow caused by eyeglasses.

Thanks for your knowledge I love your tutorials.

[scandalousbeauty]

Great idea!!!

[eapleasant]

thanks so much for the tip. I am personall not a "foundation chick" but sometimes I have a blemish or two and I would love to cover it up thanks alot

[ellaneza]

LORAC (which can be found at Sephora stores) carries an amazing range of colours especially for coloured women..just a thought. Great video Erin and happy new year!

xoxo

[irisdaflower]

I do believe you meant to say women of colour and not coloured women. We dont really do that in America.

[jrmetmoi]

Yeah please tell em for me.

[Mandy4610]

Erin, your skin looks great even without foundation. What are you using?

[macskak]

You're so cute, Erin. :) with attitude to boot! :*

[scandalousbeauty]

[bababagirl01]

does anyone have a cheaper brush that they use to cover scars and such?

[scandalousbeauty]

You can use any blending brush or e/s brush.

[Shimmer797]

does anyone use nars? i'm thinking about trying it out since they have a lot of variety for darker skin tons

[dijahc]

Thank you..

[scandalousbeauty]
