Use concealer where you need extra correction or brightness. You usually need less than social media tutorials suggest.

- 02
Place a small amount only where needed.
- 03
Let high-pigment concealer sit briefly before blending if more coverage is needed.
- 04
Blend edges rather than moving all the product away.
- 05
Set lightly only if creasing or wear requires it.
