Do you struggle with perfecting your concealer? Well, here's Jackie Aina to the rescue

The way you put on your concealer is just as important as the concealer itself. You can have the best concealer and foundation in the world, but if you apply it incorrectly, it does more harm than good and ends up look flakey and making your eyes crease which ages you.

Here we break down all the pro concealer tips that will ensure your concealer sits just right.

1. If you use foundation, apply it first, and then apply your concealer.

If you apply your foundation first, you will notice that you don't need to use as much concealer and end up using less product overall to get the desired look. If you apply concealer first, however, you'll remove most of it while applying your foundation and take yourself make to square one.

2. The most flattering way to apply concealer is to draw a triangle with the base under your eye and the point toward your cheek.

This shape not only conceals dark circles, but it also instantly creates the illusion that your face is lifted all thanks to where the light hits you. Think of it as holding a torch against your cheek, shining the light right underneath your eye, and drawing the focus upward giving you an instant face lift.

3.When concealing a pimple, first use a green concealer, then cover the area with a concealer that matches your skin tone perfectly.

You can blot out a pimple's redness by applying green concealer with a clean brush to only the pimple (not the surrounding skin) to avoid spreading the bacteria. Then, use a cotton swab to dab on a high-coverage liquid concealer that matches your skin tone to camouflage the pimple. Blend it into the surrounding skin and finish with setting powder. When used correctly, concealer can succeed in creating that flawless, airbrushed look that all your fave celebrities have.

4.Use a concealer that's slightly lighter than your skin tone to line three tiny sections of your eyes: the inner "V," the middle section of your eyelid, and just below your brow bone.

Lightly blend for instantly well-rested eyes and a highlight that looks natural. Great for days when you didn't get enough sleep 

5.After applying concealer, blot the area with a thin tissue to prevent the product from settling in the creases around your eyes.

If your concealer tends too look cakey in the fine lines around your eyes midday, split a tissue into two layers, and use one of the sheets to remove excess oil.
