Beauty question: how do you really put the concealer? Is it tapped just a little under the eyes or spreads towards the cheek and nose for an even more covering effect? Whatever technique each of us has chosen in the past is likely not the right one. There are real possibilities that, by mistaking some steps, we have made the look smaller and made the makeup heavier. But don’t panic because there is a new fashion in town and it is there‘hack concealer that gives the face an instant lifting while enlarging the eyes.
WHAT BIG EYES
Like many trends lately, it all started on Tik Tok, where the user Megha Singh went viral for publishing a video in which she applies the instant rejuvenation effect concealer. “Il Fox eye concealer hack consists in creating a play of light and shadow thanks to a product that was created with this very purpose: the concealer. Always choose at least a half tone lighter than the foundation, it has the purpose of creating and giving volume to the face; positioned on the eye will therefore create the effect of a wider eyelid, while spread on the outer corner of the face, so as to “accompany” the eyeliner or eyeshadow line, it makes the skin appear tighter and higher cheekbones. The foxy eyes makes the eye appear more elongated and the corrector is essential, because in combination with the eyeshadow line, faded in the outer corner, it accompanies the eye for a “lifted” effect », explains make-up artist Valentina Pozzi.
GLI STEP
Ok, this summer we also absolutely want to try this technique used by Kim Kardashian and which, in fact, consists of a sort of contouring but more natural. Which ones are they the steps to make foxy eyes? «First of all we apply a good product to moisturize the skin in order to spread the concealer evenly and be able to blend it easily. I recommend using Catrice’s Liquid Camouflage Liquid Face Concealer which offers high pigmentation and light texture at the same time. We then apply it under the inner corner of the eye and under the outer corner, spreading it slightly towards the temples. Before blending it we let it dry for 10 seconds, so that the formula thickens slightly, thus obtaining even more pigmentation. We then take a drop-shaped blending brush and begin to blend the product, keeping in mind that, for the success of this optical illusion, we will have to blend the corrector outwards and upwards: we will then blend the area of the internal corner towards the cheekbones, while for the external corner we will have the temples as the “goal”. Once this step is finished, all we have to do is fix with a transparent loose powder. But beware: the powder must not have a satin / glow finish which would be counterproductive as it would reveal the optical illusion on which we have worked so much “, says the expert.
THE RIGHT NUANCE
A very important thing is also choose the right shade of the concealer, not always an easy task. How to identify the right nuance for this technique? “It all depends on the undertone, but in this case, since we are literally twisting our volumes, we have to choose a product that contains one large percentage of yellow pigment inside, this is because the theory of colors (applied to corrective make-up) teaches that yellow is an aggressive color, able to dominate the scene and deceive the brain, creating volumes where in reality they are not present. It is also essential to choose a product that guarantees high coverage in such a way as to cancel the original volumes of the face », Valentina Pozzi points out.
Last but not least, how can we not make the unconscious mistakes we all make while spreading the corrector? “They are few but very important to keep in mind: first of all, the concealer should always be applied on a well hydrated base because, unlike foundation, it contains a high percentage of “fatty” ingredients that applied to dehydrated skin would be the first to be absorbed, resulting in flaky, patchy skin with darker pigmentation (the pigment inside the products tends to darken when its moisturizing / oily component is missing). Second mistake not to make is to overdo the doses: instead of abounding with the quantity of concealer, choose a more covering product and carefully observe your face, so as to understand which are the strategic points on which to place it in order to obtain the optical illusion and coverage you are looking for ».
