Stop Applying Concealer Like This Makeup Artist Explains | Elena Rachitskaya

Concealer creasing, looking dry, turning grey, disappearing by the end of the day, or making your under-eyes look older? In this video, I’m explaining concealer like a professional makeup artist: how to choose the right shade, when to use color corrector, how to apply concealer for dark circles, how to stop creasing, how to set concealer without dryness, and how to make concealer look natural and smooth. We’ll talk about color theory, under-eye prep, hydrating vs long-wear concealers, mature skin, oily T-zone, blemishes, redness, powder mistakes, and the best placement for a fresh, natural result.
