Why I Love Senegence Concealers
Senegence's Corrective Color Concealers are designed to not only provide incredible coverage but to also be kind to your skin. With a unique blend of anti-aging ingredients, they help moisturize while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, they stay put, meaning your look will last all day without fading or creasing.
How I Use Them: My Step-by-Step Guide
1. Brightening the Under-Eye Area:
One of my favorite tricks is using the concealer to brighten up my under-eye area. I start with a small amount (and I mean small—a little goes a long way!) and use my F64 concealer brush to apply it directly under my eyes, concentrating on the inner corners where shadows can make us look more tired than we are. I gently apply it only onto the dark areas of my under-eye to lift and brighten the entire area. I will often mix two shades together if I am rocking a tan. The trick is to choose a concealer that is as close to your same skin tone.
2. Concealing Dark Circles:
On days when my dark circles appear, I opt for a slightly peachy shade to color-correct before applying my main concealer. The peach tones help neutralize my skin's blue and purple undertones, leaving me with a smooth, even base.
Pro Tip: To avoid creasing, use the concealer sparingly. These concealers are self-setting, but if you want a slightly more budge-proof application, set it with light dusting of translucent powder right after blending.
3. Bronzing for a Natural Glow:
Here's where things get fun! I also use a deeper shade of the Senegence concealer to bronze and contour my face. Using my trusty F82 brush, I blend the concealer along my cheekbones, forehead, and jawline for a natural, sun-kissed look. Again, the key is to use a small amount—this formula is rich, so you don’t need much to make an impact.
4. Blending for Perfection:
The right tools make all the difference, and I swear by my F82 brush for bronzing, and my F64 concealer brush for blending out the concealer. Both brushes ensure everything blends seamlessly, leaving no harsh lines or cakey spots.
Tips for a Flawless Finish
Less is More: One of the most important tips when using these concealers is to start with a small amount. The formula is highly pigmented, so you don't need much to get great coverage. Applying too much can lead to creasing, so work in thin layers and build up as needed.
Set it Right: This concealer is self-setting - you don’t NEED to do anything to lock it in place. But I like to lock everything in place by lightly setting my under-eye area with translucent powder. This step will ensure your look lasts all day without creasing or settling into fine lines.
Choose the Right Shade: If you're covering dark circles, opt for a peachy or orange-toned concealer to neutralize the discoloration. For bronzing, go a few shades darker than your natural skin tone for the perfect contour. The trick is to choose a concealer that is as close to your skin tone as possible.
