Concealer (or
colour corrector) is a type of
cosmetic or makeup which is
available in a variety of
shades and is typically used
to make the skin appear more
uniform in colour. Some
colors are intended to look
like a natural skin tone, while
others are meant to contrast
with a particular kind of
blemish. White can be used to
hide dark circles or bruising,
and to brighten dull skin.
Green and blue can
counteract red patches on the
skin, such as those caused by
pimples or broken veins. A
purple-tinted concealer can
make sallow complexions look
brighter. Colored concealers
such as these are usually
applied sparingly beneath a
concealer or foundation that
matches the wearer's skin
tone. Skin-toned concealers
are not only the most
common type, but are often
sufficient on their own at
hiding blemishes.
