Makeup Artist Shares Easy Concealer Trick for Youthful Look

London, England – Legendary makeup artist Val Garland has unveiled a clever concealer technique that promises to deliver an instant facelift look in just seconds. This simple method requires only one product: concealer, which many people already have at home. It allows for a quick refresh of tired skin without the need for complex contouring or multiple products.

Garland, a judge on BBC‘s Glow Up, shared her insider tips during an Instagram tutorial. ‘Sometimes you just want a lift. This is where your concealer will come in,’ she said. Her technique appeals to makeup amateurs and professionals alike, allowing anyone to achieve a luminous appearance with ease.

To start, Garland uses a skincare-infused concealer to ensure a flawless finish. She recommends a high-end product for those who can splurge, but also highlights affordable options, noting that some concealers can be found for as little as £5.99 on Amazon.

The application is straightforward. Garland begins with an eye-lifting swipe of concealer above her cheekbones, using a small flat concealer brush. She emphasizes that placement is crucial, advising viewers to apply concealer to areas that need light and lift. ‘Put the concealer wherever you’ve got a shadow, [like] under the nasolabial fold,’ she suggested.

Garland advises working with diagonal lines of concealer on either side of the face to achieve this youthful effect. ‘It’s from the corner of the mouth, just under where you would do your contour,’ she explains. After applying the concealer, she uses a dense, fluffy brush to blend the product seamlessly into the skin.

This technique promises to make a subtle yet significant difference, particularly for mature skin. ‘What you’re doing is bringing light and lift to your face, but in a much more natural way,’ says Garland. ‘The old rule is glitter sticks; the bold rule is light lifts.’

Her tutorial has sparked interest among beauty enthusiasts, eager to try this time-saving hack for a fresh complexion.
