The RIGHT way to apply concealer??

I have light skin...how do i put on concealer to where it covers but it looks natural instead of all caked on?The RIGHT way to apply concealer??
To apply concealer:





Steps:





1. Wash your hands before handling your face. Dirt and oils on your hands will only aggravate the blemish.





2. Choose a concealer appropriate to the color and type of blemish you wish to hide. Concealer is a creamier foundation makeup with added pigments intended for specific parts of your face.





3. Pick a yellow-tinted concealer to hide red blemishes; choose a concealer a little lighter than your blemish for hiding darker marks.





4. Choose a masking cosmetic (which is thicker than concealer and has added pigment) to hide more prominent blemishes, such as small scars left from pimples or skin irregularities.





5. Apply the concealer or masking cosmetic over the blemish using your finger, an eye shadow brush or sponge.





6. Blend the edges with the surrounding skin, using a circular motion.





7. Set the masking cosmetic with a special setting powder, then apply oil-free foundation and powder on top.





Tips:





Try a cover stick, which is a stick version of a concealer. These contain a high proportion of wax to add body and thickness.





Masking cosmetics are usually not available at drugstores or beauty aid stores but can be purchased at major department stores. They're expensive, but effective.





Hope that helps.The RIGHT way to apply concealer??
the little wedge sponges are awesome and cheap. they help you blend really well and are so soft you wont pull too hard on your skin. you can even wash them with soap and water and reuse if you want.





Also, if you use facial moisturizer, try mixing some moisturizer and some concealer on the back of your hand, then apply with the sponge wedge for a very sheer, dewy, foundation effect.
you should only be using a dimes amount! concealer spreads around easier if you apply moustrizer first! go to MAC and ask for help! They'll show you what fits your skin tone and things like that! also look at some of their bronzer! take a sample home, and then save money by buying the cheaper kind at Target or something.
dab a litle using ur finger in the area that u need and spread with a triangular sponge. the sponge will absorb the excess and leave enough for full, natural coverage. the sponmge is smooth and pointed so it can reach all the crevices in ur face
