- Hi, I'm Jeffrey Paul, celebrity makeup artist, and today I'm going to show you how to cover up blemishes with makeup. When you're doing a makeup you always have one or two spots that you want to hide. You don't want to notice as much so with concealer it can hide spots, cover dark circles and make your skin look radiant. So today I'm going to cover up blemishes and a little bit of dark circles with Maybelline cover stick. With concealer, you want it to match the skin tone. It could be slightly lighter but never darker. Concealer is used to highlight areas around the eyes, around the nose, any kind of redness or blemishes. So with the concealer with this shape you could actually dot on if you wanted to around the eye and I like to put it anywhere it's dark, sometimes right in the crevice, sometimes a little bit by the nose there's a little bit of redness, sometimes at the outer corner of the eye. You never want to use too much. You don't want to have raccoon eyes. With a brush or your fingertips you can blend in the concealer so that it diminishes into the skin and we don't see it but we see a radiant kind of glow around the eye and around the nose, same thing. I like it around the nose because sometimes right there gets a little bit red and you just want to kind of cover that up so that it all looks uniform, sometimes up in the forehead, maybe right in the T-zone you can add a little bit too. Adding with a concealer you can dot it, blend it with a brush or take it with a brush if you want broader long strokes to cover a bigger area. Add a little bit more too around the whole area to make sure the whole area is illuminated. Concealer also makes a great base if you want to use it as an eye shadow base but for blemishes what you want to do, blemishes are usually either raised or they have a different consistency to the skin. The concealer is actually thicker, say right here, there's a little bit of a mole, we want to conceal that. See how it's lighter? What concealer does is because it's more opaque, it actually highlights an area so you want to make sure you blend in all your edges so that you do not see a line or a demarcation so it's all clean and clear and then just add a little bit of extra powder on top because a blemish is actually something you want to conceal and have it not look raised. Also the blemish since it has a different consistency you want to have the powder absorb any kind of excess oil or moisture, around the eyes too I'll also do a little bit so both her eyes match and you can see that the concealer also illuminates the eye, makes the eye look brighter. Concealer and foundation come from blanking out the face where you had one even canvas and then you draw in all the features. That's not the case anymore but now we do need concealer just to highlight and conceal blemishes or illuminate any parts of the face that we want to highlight or show off. Sometimes right next to the lips too I do a little bit right in the corner because that helps from lipstick bleeding and also helps make the smile look brighter and whiter. So concealer is great to hide redness, skin discoloration or even sun damage but I wouldn't use a lot. I would only use a little bit that matches the skin tone or is maybe a slightly a bit lighter. the best choice would be something that matches your skin tone, that's the same consistency as your skin tone, the same texture. If it's too heavy, it's going to look heavy on your skin. If your skin is lighter and sheer, use a concealer that's maybe had a little bit more of a transparent quality but blemishes and skin discoloration, you want to conceal just the area that's dark so that all the skin looks uniform. Concealer is an essential tool that I think everybody should have. Mascara, concealer and lip gloss, three simple steps that's easy for you to wear makeup and have a simple clean look. There you have it, that's how you cover up blemishes with makeup. I'm Jeffrey Paul. Thank you for watching.
