The palette's cream formula applies smoothly, hence its popularity in concealer reviews for photography and events.

Your brightening shade should not be more than one or two shades lighter than your real skin tone. If your HD concealer is much lighter than your skin, you may end up with raccoon eyes.
- Under eye: Apply using an upside-down triangle application technique.
- Blemishes: Choose a shade that blends seamlessly with your skin tone.
- Highlighting: Use the lightest beige shade on the nasal bridge.
- Setting: Set your concealer application with a thin layer of translucent powder from the compact powder collection.
Application Step-by-Step
- Prep your skin - Apply a hydrating face primer or eye cream first. Let it absorb for 2-3 minutes before applying any product.
- Color correct - Using your ring finger, pick the corrector shade you need and pat only on the problem area. Never swipe always press the pigment in.
- Layer concealer - Pat the beige shade over the corrected area using a damp sponge. Use the inverted triangle technique under the eyes.
- Highlight and contour - Use the lighter beige on the nasal bridge and brow bone. Use the deeper shade lightly along the cheek hollows for subtle contour.
- Set with powder - Dust translucent powder to lock it in and prevent creasing. Press, do not swipe.
Solving the Dark Circle Dilemma
Dark circles are mostly characterized by their bluish-purple coloration. Simply applying a beige concealer will not be enough what you require is a specific color corrector. When you have fair skin, use a yellow or light peach corrector. If your skin is dusky, choose a deep orange. The "less is more" rule is very crucial here apply only on the area where the darkness exists.
- Determine the tone: Blue-toned circles need peach; purple-toned circles need yellow.
- Specific use: Apply the correcting cream only to the shadow area under the eye.
- Blending: Make sure the edges blend smoothly into the skin.
- Final step: Pat your HD concealer on top lightly using your ring finger.
Choosing the Right Concealer for Dusky Skin
In its long history, the makeup industry has neglected deeper skin types. But concealing any skin tone has become easy using this palette. While selecting a concealer for dusky skin, the first consideration is its warmth level. Any concealer shade that does not have enough warmth is bound to be greyish. The Insight HD concealer shades come with a golden hue that works beautifully on melanin-rich skin. For a full face guide, read our blush placement guide on reading face undertones.
- Keep away from ashiness: Do not use lavender or light yellow correctors on dusky skin.

- Glowing finish: The HD concealer gives a glowing finish without looking flat.

- Two thin coats: Two thin coats are always preferable to one thick coat.
- Test in daylight: Always check your color corrector result in natural light, not bathroom lighting.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcorrecting: Green should only go where redness exists not all over the face.
- Wrong lighting: Never apply makeup under yellow bathroom lighting.
- Skipping primer: Cream palettes perform best on a primed, hydrated base.
- One thick coat: Two thin layers beat one heavy application every time.
- Missing the edges: Blend seamlessly at the hairline and jawline with no harsh lines.
