Concealer

Concealer - A concealer is used to hide or conceal spots and blemishes on the skin. You should get a concealer that is a close match to your nature skin tone. Concealer can also be used to hard dark circles under your eyes

Foundation

How to apply Foundation

Foundation - is the base upon which all other make up is applied. Your foundation needs to be right or the rest of your make-up will look a mess. Again it is vitally important that the colour of your foundation is a close match to your natural skin colour. Foundation dries out quickly so you should place a little on a make up sponge and start on your forehead before moving on to your cheeks, chin, upper neck and nose.
