Hi, my name is Brandie Johnson, and I'm a makeup artist in the Los Angeles area. Today, I will be demonstrating how to cover up redness in the skin on dark skin. Today, we will be using a flat small rounded brush. Also, you need to remember to buy a green based product because it helps cancel out the redness in the skin. You want to make sure when you're applying the makeup you just go ahead and gingerly press the brush on the area wherever the redness is in your face or your skin and you just gently apply. You don't want to overdo it, and just use a little bit because you don't want the green to come through your regular foundation, and just apply some there, and you apply a little bit here, wherever the redness is, and you just gingerly apply it and just blend it on out. And make sure you use circular motions, because that will kind of help to give you some evenness. This is how you apply concealer to the face to cover up redness. Thank you for watching.
