Finally.
If you’ve ever spent ten minutes painstakingly applying concealer to the mother of all spots, only to have it disappear five minutes later, this particular beauty hack is going to please you greatly.
Reddit is a treasure trove for useful beauty tips, this one is another life-saver if you missed it recently, and according to this thread, eyeshadow primer is ideal for concealing blemishes.
This stuff lasts all day which is ideal
The primer locks the makeup in, as it does with eyeshadow, so you won’t have to keep reapplying your concealer again and again.
Of course, the primer is the first step and you’ll have to apply your concealer foundation,/powder/setting spray next depending on your routine, but this is the first step and the one that ensures a lasting effect.
Follow your primer with concealer
Of course, it does sound a bit bizarre to use a product aimed at the delicate skin on your eyelids for concealing pimples but makeup artist Fiona Styles backed up the theory when chatting to Allure.
Fiona, who just so happens to work with our current girl crush, Chrissy Teigen, said:
“The skin on a pimple is often stretched and shiny, making it too smooth for concealer to stick to it well.
Something like an eye-shadow primer that makes the skin grippy sounds like it would really work to get the product to stay put and extend the wear of your makeup without having to do touch-ups”.
GENIUS.
