How to Apply Concealer Like Beyonce, According to Her Makeup Artist

Tools and materials:

• Concealer (similar to your skin tone)

According to Sir John, you shouldn’t use a concealer that’s too light for your skin. Go for something that actually matches your skin tone.

So, we will show you the difference; on the right side (our left), we’ll apply the shade of concealer we usually use, as pictured above. We also applied it as an upside-down triangle. 

For the left side (our right) we will go for a concealer closer to our skin tone. Application will be different, too; either apply it with your finger or a concealer brush.

Also, the technique is different, applying it as dots under the eye and blending it with the ring finger. Sir John does not use a beauty blender, either. 

As mentioned, we will use a beauty blender to blend in the lighter concealer for the right side. 

Use your ring finger to blend in the concealer on the left side. The heat from your body temperature melts the concealer into your skin. Make sure you’re not using your index finger, as it’s the harshest finger to use against your sensitive skin. 

Before we look into the differences, we are applying makeup as we normally would. 

Ok, for the results! It’s always great to try different makeup tricks, especially from the pros! We’re a little torn between the two techniques. We took a selfie, and in the photo, it looks like Sir John’s method is better than ours. However, in real life, our method looks better.
