1. The under-eye concealer to brighten the gaze.
Theconcealer is a makeup product whose main function is to hide the dark circles under the eyes. Dark circles are typically dark in color, making them visible on the skin. Not particularly aesthetic, they weigh down the gaze and give a tired appearance. Indeed, dark circles generally indicate a state of fatigue and lack of sleep. Of course, they have an impact on the radiance of the complexion. Concealers were designed to blur and camouflage dark circles. By applying concealer, the complexion is momentarily refreshed and brightened.

2. The concealer to hide imperfections.
Beyond its primary use, concealer can also be employed to hide blemishes such as pimples or redness. Indeed, if you enjoy wearing makeup, using a concealer to cover your imperfections allows for a more even makeup application. It is typically applied after the complexion formula (foundation, BB or CC creams, tinted serum...) to perfect the coverage.
3. The under-eye concealer to enhance the overall area around the eyes.
The under-eye concealer can also be used to enhance the overall area around the eyes:
An eyeshadow base : Eyelids can also appear dull, and the eyeshadow colors can end up looking spread out. The use of a concealer prevents this issue. Therefore, it should be applied just before the eyeshadow to ensure the most uniform application possible.
Structuring the Eyebrows : Applying concealer below and above the eyebrows helps to accentuate the natural curvature of the eyebrows and lift the gaze.
