Perfect facial skin like that obtained by strategically using Instagram filters is, in reality, reserved for very few, lucky people. The truth is that from dark circles to pimples, we all have small imperfections that bother us and that we would love to be able to cancel as if by magic. Without detracting from the importance of an excellent skin routine, a fundamental strategy for guaranteeing healthy and beautiful skin, if you dream of a perfect complexion you absolutely must get an excellent concealer. We explain why.
Concealers are the secret to flawless facial skin
The corrector under the magnifying glass. What are its functions and for what purposes is it used? make-up artist Francesca Ragone, founder & ceo of Beyouty he explains: «We are talking about a product with a more or less creamy texture, used in a targeted way to correct discoloration. Unlike foundation, concealer has greater coverage. Generally it is applied around the eyes to minimize dark circles or in various areas of the face to reduce redness or dark spots. There is no absolute best corrector: it is important to identify the one that fits our needs in all respects “. From theory to practice: “If we want to illuminate the eye contour, an area where the skin tends to get scarred, I recommend a concealer with a light texture, remembering to moisturize the area just before application. In this case it is better to avoid pasty products. If, on the other hand, you want greater coverage, useful in the case of young skin with acne imperfections, cream concealers are perfect, as they are buildable. Yet, the choice of the color of the corrector is fundamental and changes according to the discoloration we wish to correct. So to neutralize a bluish or dark eye the peach-orange corrector wins, while to cover a pimple or couperose a corrector with a green undertone is indicated. By mistaking the color of the concealer you run the risk of accentuating the area with imperfection to be corrected, rather than neutralizing it. Be careful not to apply too much product: especially after a certain age this means accentuating wrinkles and fine lines, with the unwelcome crack effect. Finally, a misstep that can compromise the seal of the concealer is to skip the cleansing and hydration phase, which serves to apply less product, with easier application and greater hold ».
Here you go the correctors that will allow you to give up Instagram filters. We have chosen those with the best skincare formulas, to combine the maximum aesthetic effect with a pleasant moisturizing pampering for the skin.
