Whether it’s a DM, email or the topic of conversation in one of my group chats, I’ve lost count of the times that I’ve been asked what my favourite concealer is. I can list my top foundations, eyebrow products and lipsticks, but my mind always goes blank when it comes to concealers.
To be completely honest, I have a major issue with the name. Concealing always suggests that there’s an issue. A problem that needs fixing. Something to be ashamed of. So, I’m not really here for it. But, I’m also aware that because I see concealers as an optional extra and not as a necessity, I have the privilege of being able to say that.
I had acne on my forehead when I was a teenager but these were the pre-makeup days, so I wasn’t aware that I could use makeup on my spots. This cleared up pretty quickly and since then, I’ve only used concealer on my under-eyes to brighten things up around there.
