First of all, remember about the correct order of application of your products. Begin with coloured concealers to hide any imperfections, then apply your foundation and finally a corrector to even out your skin tone and hide any pigmentation marks that are still visible. It is extremely important that all layers must be well blended! Additionally, smudge the line between products, do not forget about your ears and the jaw line. If you struggle with the problem of dark under eye circles, apply two thin layers of your concealer. Thanks to this, you will visually enlarge your eyes and brighten the skin around them. If you have a combination or oily skin, you can apply an extra layer of base. This will minimize the glow of the skin in the T-zone (forehead, chin and nose) and reduce the secretion of sebum.
