Concealer with anti-ageing peptide complex
Annique’s liquid concealer is a fragrance free, creamy, transfer resistant, high coverage liquid concealer enriched with a peptide complex to help conceal fine lines and imperfections.
It contains a peptide complex, with anti-ageing benefits and line-reduction action. Silicones improve spreadability and coverage and ensure a soft touch finish. The Green Rooibos extract contains antioxidants to protect the skin against environmental damage.
Concealers are make-up bag must haves! It not only conceals blemishes, dark circles and veins, but it can also create a wonderful base for your eyeshadow and therefore acts like a primer so you will have longer lasting colour.
Concealer hides the discolouration around the eye area to make eyes look more awake and younger. Make-up artists always apply concealer, as it is the key to achieving a professional finish.
Eliminating dark circles
Do not ever set your concealer with loose powder, as this will only accentuate lines around the eye area and cause severe dryness. Annique does not believe in applying loose powder, because it only encourages the ageing process. Use a synthetic concealer brush, like in the Annique Colour Caress Brush Set, to apply the concealer and then press into the skin with the fingertips.
Freckles and pigmentation
Freckles should not be covered, as they are not blemishes and if the skin is clear, they look very attractive. A heavy layer of concealer or foundation can look far worse. For covering pigmented areas, select a colour that is
one shade lighter than your foundation colour. Ensure skin is well-moisturised and apply a concealer to the
areas that require coverage. Use Derma Bright to target pigmentation and brown spots.
Tackling pimples
Ensure spots have healed and are dry before applying any make-up. Use a pointed brush so you can target your application of concealer to the spot. Then lightly press around the edges with fingers. Don’t use a colour that is lighter than your skin tone or it will emphasise the pimple.
STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN APPLYING CONCEALER
1. Moisturising your skin prior to applying your concealer is essential for the radiant, flawless look we want to accomplish, and therefore a very important part of applying your make-up.
2. Hydrate the skin by rinsing it with Rooibos tea in the morning, followed by your Annique skin care products, and your Annique moisturiser.
3. You can also apply the Moisture Cover, which will provide extra coverage.
4. Choose a concealer as close as possible to your natural skin colour. Test the concealer in natural sunlight, on your jaw line, or the area where you would want to apply it. Don’t use a colour that is more than one shade lighter than your foundation or you will end up with ‘panda’ eyes.
5. Apply your Annique foundation.
6. Dot small drops of concealer on the inside on the inner-top lid and below the eye, where shadows and dark circles occur.
7. Gently press it on to create an even appearance
