Lilac concealer primarily covers dullness and sallowness in the skin, brightening the complexion.
Specifically, lilac concealer is designed to counteract yellow or orange undertones that can make the skin look tired, unhealthy, or lackluster. It works based on the principle of color correction, where opposite colors on the color wheel neutralize each other. Lilac (purple) sits opposite yellow on the color wheel, hence its effectiveness in brightening sallow skin.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Dullness: Skin can appear dull due to various factors such as lack of sleep, dehydration, poor circulation, or buildup of dead skin cells. Lilac concealer adds a subtle radiance.
- Sallowness: Sallowness refers to a yellowish or pale brownish hue in the skin. This can be caused by illness, aging, or certain skin conditions. The lilac pigment helps to neutralize these yellow undertones.
Who benefits from using lilac concealer?
- Individuals with fair to medium skin tones who notice a yellow or orange tint in their complexion.
- People with mature skin who may experience sallowness due to aging.
- Anyone experiencing temporary dullness due to fatigue or illness.
How to Use Lilac Concealer:
- Apply sparingly: A little goes a long way.
- Use under foundation or concealer: Apply to areas needing correction before your usual base makeup.
- Blend thoroughly: Ensure the lilac color is completely blended into the skin to avoid a noticeable purple cast.
- Targeted Application: Focus on areas such as under the eyes (if dark circles have a yellow tint), the forehead, chin, or any other areas showing signs of dullness.
