In my humble opinion, concealers don't get the due they deserve. Most of my friends don't even use one, and to me, that is truly criminal. A concealer is the silent hero in your makeup routine. It helps even your skin tone, highlight and contour. And the best part is that a little goes a long way. But, knowing how to use a concealer is an important skill and getting it wrong can be bad for your overall glam. Knowing which formulation will work best for you is important. So, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about this underrated and amazing product.
Concealers come in two different formulations—liquid and cream. The main distinction between the two is that liquid concealers are thinner and give light to full coverage, while cream concealers are thicker and give high to opaque coverage. Liquid ones tend to be easier to blend, but cream concealers can be more long-lasting.
When you have oily skin, it's important not just to find a product that gives you great coverage and doesn't irritate or feel heavy on your skin, but also lasts for a longer time. Some things to look for in a concealer great for oily skin is that it should be, non-comedogenic (which basically means it doesn't clog your pores), is oil-free, lightweight and waterproof.
