Knowra Concealer Concealer Concealer is a pigmented cosmetic used to hide or reduce the appearance of discoloration, blemishes, and other skin features. It is typically applied selectively and often offers more coverage than foundation.
Color correction : A technique that uses opposing hues to visually neutralize unwanted color. Colored concealers neutralize tones such as redness or under-eye discoloration before skin-toned coverage.
Cosmetic pigments : Coloring materials used in cosmetics to impart or modify visible color. Pigments provide concealer's color and help mask differences in skin tone.
Hyperpigmentation : Darkening of areas of skin caused by excess melanin or other pigment changes. Concealer can reduce the visible contrast of dark patches without changing their cause.
Color corrector : A colored cosmetic used to neutralize unwanted skin tones through complementary hues. Color correctors target discoloration by hue, whereas concealers usually provide skin-toned coverage.
Under-eye concealer : Concealer applied beneath the eyes to reduce the appearance of darkness or uneven tone. This common use calls for shades and textures suited to delicate skin and facial shadows.
Opacity (optics) : The degree to which a material blocks light from passing through it. Greater opacity lets concealer obscure more of the underlying skin color.
Acne : A skin condition involving clogged follicles, inflammation, and lesions such as pimples and comedones. Blemishes from acne are a frequent target of spot concealing.
Tinted moisturizer : A moisturizer with pigments that provide light, broad-area coverage and even skin tone. Its lighter, all-over coverage differs from concealer's targeted opacity.
Spot concealing : A makeup technique that applies concealer only to individual blemishes or marks. It limits product to the areas that need extra coverage while leaving surrounding skin visible.
Cosmetic formulation : The composition and physical design of a cosmetic product, including its ingredients and texture. Oils, waxes, powders, and water shape concealer's coverage, wear, and feel.
