*KEEP IN MIND: When it comes to achieving a flawless makeup look, it’s crucial to swatch and test shades in natural light. This ensures that the colors blend seamlessly with your skin tone, avoiding any mismatches that artificial lighting might cause. Natural light reveals the true undertones of the product, helping you find that perfect match for your complexion.
Understanding Undertones
Let’s delve into the undertones of the Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Concealer shades. Understanding undertones is essential for finding your perfect match:
Warm Undertones (Yellow/Golden):
Shades like Golden Beige and Warm Sand fall into this category.
Warm undertones complement skin with a golden or peachy hue.
Ideal for those who tan easily and look great with warm-toned jewelry.
Cool Undertones (Pink/Blue):
Vanilla and Porcelain shades lean cool.
Cool undertones suit fair skin with pink or rosy hues.
If silver jewelry flatters you more, you likely have cool undertones.
Neutral Undertones:
Almond is a versatile neutral shade.
Neutral undertones work well for a wide range of skin tones.
Neither too warm nor too cool, they’re the chameleons of the beauty world.
Deep Undertones:
Chestnut and Mahogany cater to deep skin tones.
Deep undertones enhance rich, dark complexions.
Look for shades that add depth without ashy or grayish tones.
Remember, undertones play a crucial role in how makeup products blend seamlessly with your skin. Take a moment to identify yours, and you’ll unlock the magic of flawless application!
Tips for Born This Way Concealer Application
Here are some application tips to make the most of your Too Faced Born This Way Concealer:
1. Prep Your Skin:
Start with a clean, moisturized face. Hydrated skin ensures smoother application.
Apply your regular skincare products (serum, sunscreen, etc.)
2. Take the Time to Prime:
Priming your skin is a must. Check out my recent blog post on my all-time favorite primer, Tatcha the Liquid Silk Canvas: An Exclusive Look at This Game Changer.
3. Choose the Correct Shade of Born This Way Concealer by Too Faced:
As we discussed earlier, consider your undertone and select the shade that matches your skin tone.
Test the shade on your jawline or wrist to ensure a seamless blend.
4. Spot Concealing:
Use the concealer to cover specific imperfections like blemishes, redness, or dark spots. It works beautifully for these imperfections specifically!
Apply onto the problem area and blend using a concealer brush or sponge.
5. Undereye Brightening:
For undereye circles, apply the concealer in an inverted triangle shape.
Blend well to avoid creasing. A damp beauty sponge works wonders here.
6. Contouring and Highlighting with Born This Way Concealer:
Choose a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone for highlighting.
Apply on the high points of your face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid’s bow, and center of the forehead.
Use a deeper shade for contouring along the jawline, sides of the nose, and under cheekbones.
7. Blend it Out, Babe:
Whether your spot concealing or highlighting, blend thoroughly.
Harsh lines are a no-go! Use circular motions for a natural finish.
8. Layer Wisely:
If you need more coverage (like me), build up in THIN layers.
Too much product can look heavy and caky, which we want to avoid at all costs.
9. Set Born This Way Concealer with Setting Spray or Setting Powder:
To ensure your concealer lasts all day, consider using a makeup setting spray. Especially a setting spray catered to your skin type.
- Equally important, consider using setting powder!
Additionally, touch up as needed throughout the day. The great thing about this concealer is that it is compact, thus making it easy to throw in your purse and bring with you while you’re on the go!
10. Don't Forget to Clean Up the Edges:
Finally, after applying the concealer and following the corresponding steps, use a clean brush or cotton swab to tidy up any visible edges.
This results in a polished look!
Conclusion
In conclusion, this product is a game-changer for anyone seeking flawless, long-lasting coverage. Its versatile formula not only conceals imperfections but also highlights and contours, making it a must-have in your beauty arsenal. Whether you’re aiming for a natural look or full glam, this concealer has got you covered—literally. So, why wait? Unlock your concealed weapon, and as a result, let your inner beauty shine through with confidence!
