how do i apply concealer

[Deleted Member 103959]

i have really small dark moles that i want to get rid of. theyre all about this size or smaller, so im not sure how to blend properly. i dont have a beauty blender, and im just using my pinky. from what i can gather online, i apply a very small amount and then let it dry, then apply my tinted moisturizer after without rubbing on it (just patting). i tried blending earlier today but as i kept tapping it just smudged and u could see through the mole. will letting it dry then applying tinted after work?

What effect will it have?

just use your finger and put some powder on top

don't use powder, it will make your face matte in only one spot and looks gay unless ur a girl. use skin care as prep for the concealer, then dab in the concealer with ur finger, no swiping. when u invest in a beauty blender, and dampen it when you use it. then setting spray in the spot u used concealer, then let it dry, and finally put the tinted moisturizer over, lightly. or, to make it easier, tinter moisturizer, THEN concealer and setting spray. honestly my last sentence is probably the better method

setting spray makes sure whatever is on your face will not come off during the day

Moisture your skin 1-2 minutes before, use an brush or gently tap it your skin and put foundation on top of it

firstly, use the tinted moisturiser, putting it on after the fact is simply smearing the concealer off
u need to layer with a colour corrector (use orange for dark moles) and then gently layer on a full coverage concealer until you are happy, using a setting spray in between. do not use a damp beauty blender use one of those triangle shaped sponge things whilst dry, when its wet it absorbs up the concealer and makes it less full coverage
then lock it all in with a translucent/skin tone powder to get it to stay and use more setting spray so it dont look matte
mark solution

wetting it makes it absorb less actually and smooths it over your skin. the triangle sponges are for powder mostly

i never use water for dabbing in concealer, it why a lot of people like using brushes to blend it etc

brushes make it streaky half the time, and he said it's just one spot. most concealers also contain some sort of oil, and oil + water don't mix. it helps keep coverage if anything
