- Hello, concealer: Gently pat on your best concealer in the shape of an upside down triangle. Cream concealers work best with the “baking” technique.
- Blend me away: Use a moistbeautyblender to blend out your concealer using an upward motion. Make sure fine lines are gone, or else “baking” will make them more prominent.
