How to conceal the inconcealable

Whether you have accepted it or not, most of us have struggled with blemishes, pimples, scars... for a long time. The good news is, all these problems can be solved just by using, what I call, a magic pencil, concealer. There are many forms of concealer, such as pencil, liquid, cream.... Read on as I demonstrate how to use a simple pencil concealer.

My very first and only concealer is The Body Shop Concealer Pencil in 08. It's really all you need because it tackles pimples, blemishes, scars and eye bags (shocking!) It is a crayon corrector with a yellow undertone, that means it glides on easily and neutralises redness or dark eye circles. However, cream-based concealers crease easily, so it is not good for concealing wrinkles.


With this, you can go from this -->

To this -->

It's very easy to use, first, glide on to the desired areas.

Then, using a finger, gently dab it a few times till the concealer blends into the skin. Should it be too sheer, repeat the process again. Don't forget a heavy-handed application will look tarty and unnatural.


And dust on some loose powder to prevent creasing or smudging. I'm using Benefit Powderflage and my Inuovi Fan Brush.


And ta-daa...


Flawless skin in less than 3 minutes.
