What Have You Got to Hide?

Complexion imperfections vanish with the right combination of concealers and some easy-to-master techniques.

Steal this secret from the pros: Use two concealers with slightly different shades and textures for complexion perfection. Top Hollywood makeup artist Tasha Reiko Brown shares more of her advice for smoothing away imperfections.

Think Texture. Choose a creamy concealer such as Smashbox High Definition Liquid Concealer to cover undereye circles. "Creamy, moist concealers work best for under the eyes because they're easy to blend over this delicate area and won't settle into fine lines," Brown says.

For camouflaging imperfections like blemishes, sunspots and uneven pigmentation, you'll want a concealer with a drier texture, such as bareMinerals Multi-Tasking Bisque. "You don't want to add any more moisture to a pimple that might already be oily or on the verge of erupting," Brown says.

Select Two Colors. Pick a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone for the undereye area. For canceling out the redness of breakouts, you'll want your concealer to match your skin tone exactly. Having trouble finding camouflage formulas that are just

the right shade? Consider Tarte The Eraser 4-in-1 Natural Concealer, which comes in 10 shades to complement every complexion.

Apply Differently. Apply concealer to your under-eye area with your ring finger. "The heat of your finger will really melt the product so you're not applying more than you need,".

Brown says. "And your ring finger applies the least amount of pressure." Place four dots of concealer, starting at the inner corner of your eye, and pat gently to blend to the outer corner. Set with a fine-milled translucent powder.

To disguise a breakout, apply concealer directly on top of the blemish with a flat, short-bristled brush. You might need two or three layers to zap the zit completely. Be realistic: Concealer won't be able to banish the bump of a pimple, but by taking away the redness it will become virtually undetectable.
