What Is a Concealer Stick Used For?
Concealer is designed to hide small areas on your face that are a different color, such as dark circles under your eyes, age spots and blemishes. It comes in different formats, including cream, liquid and stick.
You typically apply stick concealer on the areas you want to minimize before you apply foundation. In addition to using it on dark areas you want to hide, you can also use a concealer stick for:
Disguising fine lines
Contouring your face
Priming your eyelids and lips for additional makeup
Highlighting facial features
The stick format lets you apply the concealer precisely. It can also be a cleaner option since it's not liquid, and you can easily toss a concealer stick in your purse or suitcase for on-the-go use.
What Is the Best Concealer Stick?
The best concealer stick depends on your skin complexion, concealing goals and desired look. Choosing the correct concealer stick color ensures it covers well while blending with your complexion and foundation. You'll need to know your skin tone, from fair to dark, and your undertone, which can be warm, cool or neutral. Concealer with the same undertone as your skin helps it blend in well.
For most concealing purposes, you want a concealer that matches your skin tone and undertone. However, there are some situations where you want a different color. Having a few different shades in your makeup case means you'll always have the best concealer stick available for the look you want to achieve. Here are some guidelines:
Use an under-eye concealer stick for dark circles that's one shade lighter than your natural skin tone
Use one shade darker than your natural skin tone for contouring and sculpting
Use two shades lighter for highlighting features
Stick concealer usually comes in matte and satin finishes. Matte finishes typically last longer, but satin finishes often look more natural. You can also choose sheer, light, medium or full coverage depending on your desired look.
How to Apply Concealer Stick
A concealer stick allows you to apply the concealer directly to your face where you want it. Rub the stick on the spot, then use your fingers, a beauty blender or a makeup brush to blend it in well. Stick concealer often goes on thicker and is more pigmented than liquid concealer, so it usually needs to be blended more. Apply your foundation and the rest of your makeup once you're satisfied with the concealer application.
