The color wheel shows opposite or complementary colors.
Yellow concealer is generally used to camouflage or mask discolorations on the face. Using the principle that opposite colors on the color wheel neutralize each other, the yellow concealer covers purplish marks on the skin, such as bruises or dark circles under the eyes. The best way to use yellow concealer is to apply a layer of foundation and powder.
A yellow concealer covers dark circles.
Before using the concealer, clean your face well. Apply moisturizer and give your skin time to absorb it. This will allow your skin to be in perfect condition before applying concealer and foundation. Using a small makeup brush, lightly apply a small amount of yellow concealer to purple skin. Usually only a small amount of yellow concealer will be needed.
Using a makeup sponge, continue to apply the concealer to the skin, blending and blending until the entire purple area is covered. Be careful not to drag the applicator directly onto your skin, as this can cause the sponge to wipe off the concealer. You can try tapping and blending with your ring finger if the sponge is not soft enough.
Too much concealer will fill in the creases and wrinkles on your face, making them appear deeper and more noticeable than they really are. If this happens, wash off the concealer and try again, applying less. Once you’re happy with the amount, let it sit or dry for 30 seconds.
Apply liquid foundation over concealer, tapping gently. As with blending concealer, too much pressure can cause foundation and concealer to come off. Cream foundations are often too heavy for layered products. A sheer liquid foundation works best.
If your yellow concealer is too light in color, you can apply a light layer of powder over the area instead of using a liquid foundation. This method is faster than applying liquid foundation because it is easier to apply. It’s also easy to blend, just brush over the area until the yellow disappears under the nude color of the powder. Like all products, you can apply too much powder, which will make your face look messy. Use only what is necessary to blend the concealer.
You may need a lighter yellow color or even a light nude color if you find that the yellow concealer is still obviously yellow even after applying foundation. In some cases, skin discoloration can be alleviated by choosing a nude concealer one to two shades lighter than foundation or powder. Apply in the same way as the yellow concealer, tapping and tapping, and allowing to dry before applying foundation.
Skin that has a bluish undertone may respond better to a peach or even orange concealer if it’s too dark. Simply consult a color wheel and find the color on the opposite side of the circle to determine the color that will best cover problem areas of your skin. Lilac concealer can be used to neutralize yellowish discoloration and green can be used on reddened areas.
