In this video: Choosing and applying under-eye concealer, then setting it

In this lesson

  • The under-eye technique that lifts instead of highlighting puffiness
  • Spot-concealing blemishes so they actually disappear
  • Powder: where, how much and with what
  • Setting spray and the “sandwich” method for long wear
  • A placement map and fixes for creasing, grey and cakey concealer

Concealer is where bridal makeup most often tips from “flawless” into “cakey”, especially under the eyes, which move constantly through a day of smiling. The secret is the right shade for each job, the right placement, and setting the makeup properly rather than heavily.
