Your Ultimate Guide to Concealer Turns out the secret to having flawless skin isn't getting regular facials and using $150 La Mer moisturizer. It's knowing how to apply concealer by Sharon J. Yi

6 of 10 How to conceal darkness around your lips You need: white concealer + concealer brush + latex sponge + loose powder How to apply: For darkness around the mouth, you want to apply a light concealer all around the lips with a brush. You can also lightly brush it over your mouth to create a base for your lip color. Dedivanovic says for darker skin tones, he uses a white-colored concealer on the dark area, then finishes with foundation that matches the skin tone. "It brightens up the whole area," he says. We recommend Maybelline Cover Stick Corrector Concealer in White, $6.29. And don't forget to finish with a damp sponge and loose powder. Try Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Finishing Powder, $13.99.

I absolutely loved the idea of running a sponge under water, squeezing the water out, dipping into loose powder, then dabbing over the area to set the concealer. I am totally going to try this out.

Does anyone know where to get the velour puff brush Mario mentions in the article. I can find velour puffs but not a brush. He says to use it with your loose powder instead of a raw material brush. Cant find a velour puff brush and need help

Great information. One formula for concealer doesn't cut it for multiple issues. Neither is just one technique. So glad to see that represented here.
