Concealers...:::

Concealers

This is a product made to cover areas foundation was not able to cover, such as blemishes, dark rings around the eyes, scars, sun-burns and so on.
When getting a concealer, be sure to get one that is a shade or two lighter than your foundation, but with the same undertone as your foundation. Click here to find out more about foundation.

There are three basic forms in which concealers are made:

Liquid

 
 

 


Usually packaged in a bottle, with a pump or a wand applicator, or in a tube so you can squeeze out.
This form easily blends in, but it does not provide enough coverage to completely conceal blemishes. So you can use them if you don't have much to conceal.

Stick








Comes in a tube you can twist, much like a lipstick.
It generally provides good coverage, however it is a bit more difficult to blend. When you try to blend it in you may need to apply some pressure, so this is not a good concealer for the delicate skin around the eye, but perfect for all other areas.

Cream




This normally comes in a small jar or as a pallet with other color correctors, and has a smother, softer consistency. We will be covering correctors shortly.
Mostly used by makeup artists, the cream concealer has the advantages of both the Liquid and the Stick concealers: thick enough to provide full coverage while being soft for smooth blending.

Other fun uses for Concealers

Apart from covering up those blemishes, applying concealer on the eyelid before eyeshadow application makes the colors blend easily and last longer.
You can also apply them on your lips before any lip color for the same effect.

Understanding Your Hair

Image
Great hair is indeed possible, once you understand your hair. We all crave to have healthy, longer, shinier hair, so read on and be on your way to understanding what your hair needs and could do without. Basically, we have 2 types on hair on our body: Vellus hair which is found all over our body, on the upper lip and forehead. It is very fine and short hair which is usually not colored (un-pigmented, usually translucent) and doesn't grow longer than 2cm. This hair has just 2 layers: the cortex and cuticle. Terminal hair which is the longer, coarser, pigmented hair that grows on our scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits and groin. This hair has 3 layers : the medulla in the middle filled with air and proteins, the cortex containing melanin, and the cuticle on the outside. When hair emerges from our scalp it has about 6 - 10 layers of cuticle. The cells of the cuticle overlap  at about a 5 degree angle (looking like the tiles on a roof), pointing down towards the tips of the...
