Kosas Concealer is celebrated for its lightweight texture, skin-nourishing ingredients, and natural, radiant finish. To get the most out of this beauty gem, applying it correctly is key. Whether you’re a makeup beginner or looking to perfect your routine, this step-by-step guide will help you achieve a flawless, brightened under-eye and complexion with Kosas Concealer.
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
The foundation for flawless concealer application starts with well-prepped skin. Cleanse your face thoroughly and apply your usual moisturizer and eye cream. Since Kosas Concealer contains hydrating ingredients, using a good moisturizer enhances its smooth application and prevents creasing or dryness around the eyes.
Tip: Give your moisturizer a few minutes to fully absorb before applying makeup.
Step 2: Choose the Right Shade
Selecting the perfect shade is crucial. Kosas offers a wide range of shades, so pick one that matches your skin tone or is one shade lighter for under-eye brightening. For blemishes or redness, use a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly.
Step 3: Apply Kosas Concealer Sparingly
Using the built-in wand applicator, gently dot the concealer on the areas you want to cover. Common areas include under the eyes, around the nose, and any blemishes or discoloration.
Pro tip: Start with a small amount — Kosas Concealer is buildable, so you can always add more if needed.
Step 4: Blend with a Beauty Tool
Blend the concealer using your preferred tool:
- Fingertips: The warmth of your fingers helps melt the product into your skin for a natural finish.
- Beauty Sponge: Use a damp sponge for a smooth, airbrushed look.
- Concealer Brush: Offers precise control for targeted areas.
Gently tap and press the concealer rather than rubbing to maintain coverage and avoid streaks.
Step 5: Set with a Light Powder (Optional)
If you have oily skin or want to extend the wear of your concealer, lightly set the area with a translucent setting powder. Use a fluffy brush and apply with a gentle patting motion to avoid disturbing the concealer.
Step 6: Finish the Rest of Your Makeup
Once your concealer is perfectly blended and set, proceed with the rest of your makeup routine. Kosas Concealer’s natural finish allows it to blend seamlessly with foundation, blush, and other face products.
Bonus Tips for a Flawless Finish
- Avoid Overloading: Too much product can settle into fine lines, so less is more.
- Hydrate Under Eyes: Ensure your under-eye skin is well-moisturized to prevent dryness.
- Use Correct Tools: Experiment with fingers, brushes, or sponges to find what works best for you.
- Layer Strategically: For stubborn dark circles or blemishes, apply a thin layer, blend, and add more only where necessary.
