My mother has always been a worrier. Even when everything was going well in her life, she would find something to fret about.

So it was no surprise that when she began to notice wrinkles appearing around her eyes, she became worried that her concealer was making her look older.

She consulted with me and a few of her friends, all of whom assured her that it was perfectly normal to start seeing signs of aging at her age.

But my mother just couldn’t shake the feeling that she was doing something wrong.

She became obsessed with finding the perfect concealer that would erase all signs of aging and make her look like she did years ago.

She tried every type of concealer on the market, but none of them seemed to do the trick. The wrinkles around her eyes only became more pronounced, and she started to feel more self-conscious than ever before.

She would avoid going out in public and cancelling social engagements, all because she didn’t want people to see how old she was starting to look.

It was a difficult time for my mother, and I could see how much this was affecting her emotionally as well as physically. I wanted to help her find a solution, but I wasn’t sure what I could do. Then one day, I had an idea.

I suggested that my mother try using two different shades of concealer; one light and one dark.

By blending them together, she would create an even finish that would camouflage any imperfections on her skin. And it worked! My mother was finally able to find a concealer that made her look younger and happier.

She no longer has to worry about whether her concealer is causing her to look older; she now knows how to use it in a way that makes her look beautiful and age-defying.

Does concealer make you look older?

Too much application of concealer can lead to the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots, which can make you look older.

Concealer should be applied sparingly to avoid these problems, but it’s also important to use shades that are appropriate for your skin tone. In this article, you are going to learn how to make concealer work while avoiding a tired and aging look.

What Does Concealer Do

Concealer is a makeup product that is used to cover up marks and blemishes as well as decrease the appearance of facial redness caused by rosacea. It can also be used to erase scars and dark circles from the under-eye area.

Concealer differs from the foundation in that it does not provide any coverage of flaws such as blemishes or age spots whereas the foundation will do just that.

The best part about the foundation is that it can also be used to cover up the results of acne.

It is important for you to know that concealer does not cover the entire face, although it does come close. It only camouflages imperfections by reducing their appearance. The more you use concealer, the more intense the color will be on your skin.

This can lead to an uneven complexion where darker regions are not matched by corresponding areas around them. However, when you apply two different shades of concealer and blend them together, it creates an even finish.

How To Avoid Concealers Making You Look Older

Avoid too much concealer under the eyes.

Going overboard with concealer can lead to crow’s feet, the dark shadows that form under your eyes, as well as making you look tired.

To prevent this problem, apply concealer in small dots around the eye area and blend them out with a clean brush.

Using too much product could also lead to breakouts as it will clog up your pores. Always apply foundation after concealing so that you have an even base for your makeup. This will also prevent any streaking that results from applying concealer incorrectly.

When applying the product, you need to use a damp sponge to lightly dab it under your eyes, around your age line, on your smile lines, and in any other areas where light is dulled or shadows are visible.

You may also want to use a primer beforehand, which makes the application of the foundation easier and helps it stay in place better.

The right shade of concealer can help you look younger too.

Be sure that you choose a shade that matches your skin tone accordingly if you want to avoid looking older by wearing concealer. When applying the product under the eyes, be sure to blend it well with your foundation so that is appears natural. The same goes for the other areas that you need to conceal.

Never go overboard with makeup when using concealer.

If you have what appears to be a severe imperfection, you can use not more than two layers of concealer on it if needed.

An interesting fact is that if your skin is well hydrated, it won’t look as if it requires excessive amounts of concealer.

A healthy diet and plenty of water are essential for keeping your skin radiant and healthy looking too.

Avoid too much exposure to Sunlight.

Fair-skinned people are especially prone to not wearing enough sunscreen when they go outside which can lead to hyperpigmentation and premature aging. The same goes for your concealer; make sure that you apply a light shade that matches your complexion so you don’t end up with dark spots.

Concealer does not cover all the flaws of your face, but it does help in hiding the imperfections of your skin.

It is important for you to realize that when using concealer, you cannot cover up everything. If you’ve got dark circles under your eyes, use a light shade so it doesn’t show up against your skin tone.
