Can Your Favorite Concealer Double As Eyeshadow Primer?

Posted by Valentine Belue on Friday, June 21, 2024

The whole point of eyeshadow primer is to give your eyeshadow that extra wow factor. So, when you swap it for concealer, you want to guarantee your fabulous look rather than risk being left a creased mess, which takes a bit of work. Before you even get started, make sure you have a clean, prepped canvas. Pay special attention to your eyelids when washing your face to ensure any crust and oil are completely removed. 

It's also a good idea to skip the moisturizer in this area, since your eyelids create oils all their own, per L'Oreal Paris. Clean and dry is the name of the game when swapping out eyelid primer for concealer. Once you're ready, carefully apply a dab of concealer to your eye with your ring finger and work it across all areas with a fluffy brush or a beauty blender — don't forget your corners and creases, too. 

The key is to only use a small amount of concealer, so you don't end up with too-heavy coverage. A dusting of translucent powder will set the area. It's as simple as that. Now that you know how to use it, the real question is should you throw out your eyelid primer and just use concealer every day instead?
