What’s Concealer Used for?
Concealers are similar to foundations, the only difference is it is more thicker and helps with hiding dark circles, age spots, blemishes and redness. It perfectly hides the pigmentation of the skin around your mouth, under eyes and on forehead.
It can also be used for contouring and highlighting your face structure.
Concealers are not just used to conceal the under bags but also the darkness around your mouth and nose. It hides every skin problem and your face looks toned and flawless.
Infact, you can use concealer as an eyeshadow primer as well!
How to Use Concealer as Eyeshadow Primer?

The best part about this concealer is the variety of shades it has to offer. It comes with around 21 shades for all skin concerns. It has yellow, orange, green colors as well.
Before I jump into the pros and cons, let me tell you quickly about these colors!
YELLOW– Can be used to cover up any blemishes that are purple in color. Examples include hiding bruises, veins, etc
