Which Concealer Do You Need ?

WHICH TYPE OF CONCEALER?

Lets be honest not many of us have flawless skin. Most of us have imperfections fear not! We can hide them, well make them less obvious! All you need is a concealer! So when you have a blemish or spot you will now know which concealer will cover it best. We all know someone who has used a concealer on a spot and its exaggerated it making it look crusty and nasty. Which type is best for my needs I hear you cry! Well read carefully as I'm going to go through the different types of concealer and what they are best at concealing.

Cover sticks

These are best used to hide minor imperfections such as tiny spots or a bit of darkness under the eyes. They come in loads of different colours to match your skin tone. They can be water based or oil based.

Medicated sticks

These contain antiseptics and drying agents which help speed up the healing times of spots. These are best for minor spots. Never use on a open spot. Trust me it doesn't look good and it stings Lol.

Liquid concealers.

Liquid concealers are better for the more mature skins. Using other concealers such as cover stick and cream concealers will make wrinkles and creases look worse as it can get clogged in the lines giving a cakey uneven look.

Cream concealers or camouflage concealers.

These are a creamy thick consistency which completely covers all flaws and blemishes. You can use it cover most blemishes including pigmentation marks, red marks such as birthmarks and dark circles. Also covers really well. These come in a variety of shades that can be blended to match your skin.

Correcting colour concealers

Pigmentation creams can be used to help correct your natural skin tone. When using a colour corrector, only apply to the skin where needed. apply your foundation over the top. When applying use a tapping action to prevent the corrector cream smudging. This will ensure you get the most natural flawless look.

Green is used to counteract redness.

Lilac and Pink brightens a yellowish complexion.

Peach is used to conceal blue veins and pigmentation.

NARS Orgasam

Although really popular within the beauty world, it still has its fair share of critics. Nars is known for making extremely pigmented products and has produced some of the most popular blushers around. Yet Nars Orgasm has us all divided.

Like the rest of the Nars blushers this is very pigmented. Although it will set you back RS.3200 for a full size compact. Due to the pigmentation you do only need the smallest amount. Meaning one compact does last you along time. The colour does last a really long time on the skin so you wont need to reapply all day unless you plan on going out after work. The colour maybe abit scary in the pan but it is very forgiving and workable.

The colour is described as a warm peachy pink. I would definitely say it appears more coraly/peachy to me this is probably because it has a real warm tone to it! This is where people differ on there opinions of Nars some think the warmness makes it appear to orangey. In the pan it looks more orange than on the skin but I think it's because of the amount of gold undertones present. When on my skin it doesn't appear orangey to me. Although it is alot warmer than blushes I normally wear!Another reason alot of people dislike Orgasm is the amount of Golden shimmer present in the blush. There is no denying it if you don't like shimmery blushers this is not for you. The finish on the blush has a really strong sheen to it. I personally like the golden sheen once on my cheek, it gives a pretty highlighted look to the blusher.

Do you have Nars Orgasm? Which of the Nars blushers have you tired? Which are your favorite blusher shade?

Lots of Love,
