How to apply Concealer on Bare Skin without using Foundation

- Wearing concealer on bare skin without applying foundation or any other base product is possible and easy to do. It evens out the skin tone and gives a fresh look.
Tools you will need:
Moisturiser
1-2 Concealers (shades)
Optional: Face Powder and a Small Brush
Step 1: Moisturise your face well!
After you have washed/cleansed your face, apply a good moisturiser that suits your skin type and needs.
You can use your fingers to apply your favourite moisturiser to your face using gentle circular motions.
Once your skin is well-moisturised, it becomes ready for the next step.
Step 2: Apply concealer on bare skin
Some people might need only one concealer shade, while others might need 2. This depends on how even your skin colour is. Make sure to use the right shades to look natural. Please note that unevenness becomes clearly visible if the shades do not match.
You can use one skin-coloured concealer and the another one a bit lighter if you want to brighten your eye area.
Use the concealer to conceal the spots, redness, and areas that are a bit discoloured, such as under or top of the eyes. Use your finger to blend the concealer into the skin.
At the end of concealer application, your skin should look even.
Concealers come in different formulations, such as liquid, cream or powder. You can choose what’s best for you and your skin type.
Step 3: Optional - Set the concealer with face powder
Depending on your skin type and the concealer you have chosen, you need to set the concealer, especially around the eyes otherwise it will move around and crease.
Use a small eyeshadow or face brush and take just a bit of face powder to set the concealed areas. This makes sure that you can wear it all day long without a problem.

I started high school and I’ve always got bags under my eye so I asked if I could get concealer and now I have it......I had no idea what to do with it 😂😂 but now I do thank you!
you must've graduated now :)
I’ve been really nervous about learning how to use makeup. Thank you for making this so approachable and easy ❤
🥰
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you! xx
I’ve been going foundation free a lot lately. I’m lucky that I’ve never really struggled with blemishes, but I do have inherited dark circles which is where I use my concealer. I’ll sometimes apply a small amount of Hourglass’s Diffused Light finishing powder to my whole face. While it doesn’t do anything for coverage, it definitely gives a glow as well as sets my concealer.
Thanks, girlie🍃🌸
Love to hear that Carrie!🥰Yeah, concealer can be really handy to only use it under the eyes and it just wakens up everything! So that powder isn't really a matte one right?
Melissa Van Dijk No, not at all. It works beautifully for my dry skin. It’s illuminating without sparkles or glitter. I know it’s expensive but feel that it really is worth it. I actually purchased the Hourglass 4 face palette which contains Diffused Light. Now they have the Ghost palette out which I would have purchased if I didn’t already have the 4. A good dupe is Milani’s Prep + Set + Glow Illuminating Face Powder which is only around $10:))
exact same situation as u (genetic dark circles, but foundation free since I don't have many blemishes)! do u have any concealer recommendations for that?
Thank you so much for doing a foundation-less video! I don’t like wearing thick makeup to school like foundation but my dark circles are to awful not to cover xx
Glad it was helpful! :)
This is the most simple and easy makeup tutorial I've ever watched! I've watched other videos and this is the best because you don't have to use alot of makeup to even out your skin tone. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Yeah I used your technique this morning and I loved it 😀
Hello! Thank you for this video, i have recently gone foundation free to give my skin a break, but i am still concious of my dark circles so im going to try this today using only a bit of concealer, have a great day!
Melissa, you are so lovely! This video definitely helped me a lot as i was looking for an alternative to heavy foundations that look unnatural and get all cakey over me. My skin isn't very problematic and with this technique i can cover a lot of concerns without making it look like i have a ton of makeup on. Thank you dear!
Hey 😊I'm happy that I could help you with this tutorial! It's such an easy and effective way to even out the skin tone and still not wearing a lot of makeup! 🥰
your voice is so relaxing
Thank you so much I need concealer because of hyperpigmentation but I don’t like makeup I like to go natural but I put on lipgloss all the time but that’s usually it so I didn’t want foundation because I want to look as natural as possible and I hate the feeling of foundation and I’m scared of breaking out
Hey :)
I'm happy that you found this video helpful! :)
hey @Evie,
what are u using now?
Concealer/foundation?
You are so beautiful Melissa, like you have the face of an angel. So perfect! Thanks for this video girl!
Thank you so much!!🙈
Thank you so much for your bare skin make up tutorials. I always wondered if this type of makeup was a thing but never knew for sure until I found your channel. Great video!
I think I need to do more of these tutorials, but currently, I am so deeply focused on skincare that I have no time for them, and I do not want to influence the results.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet That’s totally understandable. 😊
Thank you so much Melissa ,your content is always fresh and relevant always I think I will also stick to concealer because I don't have problematic skin at all but need it on those eyelids and undereyes.
Thank you! :)
That's fine! You do not need to use a lot of product (foundation and/or concealer) if you do not have that many problems. Keep it simple! :)
This was exactly the tutorial I was looking for, thank you. I've been struggling with melasma recently and I can't stand full face coverage on my skin.
Glad it was helpful! :)
I also recommend looking into a good skincare routine (or visit a dermatologist to lighten your melasma!) :)
This is great and I do it all the time. Just be aware that if you get hot, your natural pink cheeks will show the concealer up so don't take pictures with a flash!
It is a great way to balance everything out without overdoing it makeup! :)
Your accent is so beautiful! And thanks for the tips, exactly what i needed! ❤️
Glad it was helpful!🥰
I take my senior yearbook portraits next week and I have never worn makeup but would like to cover some blemishes and dark circles under my eyes. Will the concealer show up in the pictures with the flash? Also, awesome video! Thank you so much😇
Hey! :)
What's your skin type, and do you have texture skin/flaky skin or not?
It's important to start with the right skincare products (if needed) to make sure that you will have a smoother skin texture yet also hydrated skin before moving on to your makeup. This helps to make it as flawless as possible.
To answer your question about the concealer, it won't show up in the picture if you pick the right/closest shade possible and blend it well. Also, make sure that when setting your concealer with a powder, use a non-flash-back powder, which means use a powder with a hint of color that matches your skin tone. For example, white Setting Powder can flashback, which you can test when using a bit of the powder and apply it to a smaller area and take a picture with your flash on.
Ah this is so helpful! I really don’t like the feeling of foundation on my face so I usually just wear bb cream.
Hi, I don’t like applying a full face of makeup only mascara and a bit of foundation to cover up my hyperpigmentation spots. I’ve recently started looking into concealers and want to purchase one for my dark circles and hyperpigmentation spots, but I’m not sure which one is best for my skin type. I have sensitive, acne-prone, oily skin. Are there any particular concealers you know about that won’t clog pores or cause breakouts? I also don’t know what shade I am:(( Should I go a shade lighter or the same as my foundation? I love your videos btw, the information you provide us with is extremely helpful!!!🥰❤️
Hey :)
For your face and eyes, I recommend looking for a concealer that matches your skin tone so that you only can use it in certain areas, and you won't notice the difference!
And/or for your eyes, you can go with a shade lighter than your skin tone to brighten the area, but if the shade is too light (too obvious), then it can look strange as well since you are only using it on specific areas. Also, blending it a bit further into your skin tone helps avoid creating a line where you can see that your concealer stops and your skin tone start.
Since you have an oily skin type, I recommend setting your concealer with a bit of powder.
It's difficult to say what shade you should pick based on answering it in a comment.🙈
So far, I like Catrice Liquid Camouflage Concealer a lot! Or concealers from Bobbi Brown, or Kryolan...:)
Makeup won't clog your pores if you take your makeup off and wash your face correctly with a good makeup removing products and/or cleansers :)
Girl i love you so much u have a video littarly for everything, you are giving me such good vibes and you always react to the comments ur an angel ❤️
Thank you so much!!❤️
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet
Thank you! This is very helpful and exactly what I needed to see.
Can i ask which concealer you used for your undereye please? This is a great, quick video. Thank you!
I used the Catrice Liquid Camouflage Concealer which I love and prefer! And I used the Revlon Photoready Concealer😊
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much! I'll have a look into them 😁
Thank you, i'm going to try it this way!
Thats what im looking for.. want no foundation and cover spots.
This was so good, thank you!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, TYFS, ALWAYS
Thank you so much!❤️🥰
Hey Melissa I don't know shit about makeup! And I'm trying to lol your skin is pretty clear and would you suggest to use primer plus concealer or just concealer? Also do you suggest a liquid or powder concealer? I'm not trying to sweat it off too especially if I'm outside love this video!
Hey! :)
I used to use a primer; however, over time, I felt like I no longer needed it. Instead, I use my concealer on freshly washed/clean bare skin. If you want to, use a hydrating toner, essence, or serum before applying the concealer and then set it with powder.
I would use a liquid powder and then set it with setting powder :)
Loved this
I have a Question, what kind of powder did you use is it loose powder or a regular powder ? and what is the concealers did u use in that video? they look very beautiful.. Thanks for sharing 💕
I used the Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer.
I also love using the Kryolan loose setting powder😊
it clearly covered the blemishes, but the undereye isn't noticeable since you don't have dark lines in the first place. wish it could be tested with someone that has an obvious dark lines XD anyways thanks for the vid, really helped someone like me who doesn't know anything about makeup.
Yeah, I don't really have dark circles nor fine lines around the eye...I mainly have a bit discolouration under the eyes and a few blemishes😅
I still hope that the video could guide you on how to do it!😊
Thank you so much for this video mam❤️❤️❤️. Really liked it
My pleasure 😊
Thank u so much for this awesome tutorial!! I was wondering where you got your earrings from, they're so cute 💖😸
Hey! :)
Thank you💕
Those are hand-made Opal earrings which I bought in Australia on a market! :)
Very good tutorial.. Thank u
I love your videos and energy! ✨
Yes I came for this but damnnn😋😋😋your accent is tooo cute I had to enjoy it and then replayed😍😍😍
😊 thank you❤️
God bless u sis
Precisely what i was looking for ❤️thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Hey Melissa, can we use a compact powder instead of loose powder?
Yes, that's fine! :)
Thank you!
This was so helpful thank you 😊
I have a question. When I put on eyeshadow do I need to put primer on my eye lids? Also love this video so helpful!💕
No you don't have to! This depends on your eyelids and how well the eyeshadow stays put when not using an eye primer. Some people just need to use it because it helps to make the eyeshadow stay put especially if they have oily eyelids.
Thank you🥰
Aw thank u!
YES! YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO PUT CONCEALER ON YOUR EYELIDS- ACTUALLY PRIMER OR AND EXCELLENT MOISTURIZER AS SHE SUGGESTS NEEDS DOUBLE DUTY ON LIDS ( ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A " MATURE" WOMAN ") Because your Eyelids naturally as We get Older get Darker- After you Apply on Eyelids - Apply your first Base Color of Shadow- and keep going! And LASTLY- VERY SPARINGLY- JUST USE A SETTING SPRAY!
Thank you so much! This video has been so helpful!
You are welcome!
Thank you great video!!
🥰
Thank you I was so confused
Thanks Melissa💕
No problem 😊
thank you! this was so helpful!!!!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Awesome 😎
its superb👍❤
Hello mam, kindly do reply.
I have a little bit of dark circles under my eyes & I've oily skin.
whenever I try to hide the dark circles using any powder my oily skin justt washes them.😣
I want to purchase a concealer (orange & light shade,fair skin).
My question is can I use only concealer and powder ?
I don't want to use foundation or don't to spend much money for any type of makeup.
Or it will look cakkyyy ?
Hey! :)
Yes, it's fine to just use concealer and powder, just make sure that it matches your skin. Otherwise, it will be too obvious.
Do you use a cleanser for oily skin to wash your face?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet hehe 😅 happy to see you replied.
No,not using any cleanser.
Only Himalaya face wash before bath(once in a day).
Thnx for your care towards my oily skin.🤗
Sis,could you suggest me, any cleanser?
@@swatinanda9725 Oh okay, face wash and cleanser are pretty much the same thing...it's just a different name😉 I like Cetaphil's Oily Skin Cleanser, CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser or SA Renewing Cleanser or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser...those are great cleansers that you can use twice per day :)
Do you have to use powder?
No :)
You are so beautiful 😻
Melissa, is it alright if I use a combination of TO Niacinamide + COSRX Snail Mucin Essence instead of a moisturiser?
Yes, that's fine! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ok thank you!
i’m new to makeup so i’m not sure which concealer to get. what’s a cheap option that you recommend? i have pretty clear skin, but i have really dark under eyes
Personally, I still love the Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer🥰
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much i’ll definitely look into it :)
What’s the best concealer and setting powder, for sweat too, I sweat a lot? Help????
Hey! :)
I like Catrice Camouflage High Coverage Concealer a lot! As for Setting Powder, I always reach for my Kryolan Powder.
Have a look at Bourjois Healthy Mix BB Cream or Mac's Face and Body foundation but apply it very light :)
Try a powder foundation mac has a great one the studio fix powder foundation or it cosmetics celebration powder use the urban decay all nighter original setting spray it has temperature control technology in it and use a waterproof concealer if you can i like the nars radiant creamy concealer the mac studio finish concealer and the tarte ultra creamy shape tape concealer and for powder i love laura mercier translucent coty airspun translucent extra coverage and nars light reflecting pressed powder
If you use a highlighter like the glow wand with Tarte shape tape, would you not need to use another shade of concealer as the glow wand would do the same?
I haven't tried that one. However, if it is lighter, this should work. It's just important to choose the right shades. Otherwise, it won't blend in with your natural skin tone.
Can I use setting spray instead
Sure :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet okay thank you😁
I only use concealer. I use Nars creamy radiant concealer in the shade Cannelle BUT since it is winter and I am so light skinned I am having a problem picking a new shade. This one seems kind of orange. I want to just look natural not bright under the eyes and maybe use some of it on my face in just spots. Any advice?
Do you want to go with the same Nars concealer just lighter? How much lighter are you? What about the shade Nougatine? Or are you even lighter?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I am fair to light I didn’t see that color you mentioned. I’ll look it up. I am just looking for a one and done ! My darkness is only in corners of my eyes and little heading down towards my nose so I am trying to find something to blend into my skin
Another option would be Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer, that's one of the concealers that I used in this video and still use. I now can use that one all over my face because my skin hasn't seen the sun in two years😉
I use the shade 005. If you look at my newest videos, you'll see how pale I am.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet awesome I will try this. Do you set it? And I am about as white as you 😂 no sun
@@pnevlud I set it sometimes, depending on how dry/oily my skin gets.
Hi what kind of mascara do you use ?
I use the Max Factor False Lash Effect😊
You're so pretty
🥰
Hey there, thanks for the video. If I just apply the concealer to my skin without foundation will it be very noticeable? I don't really want to look like I'm wearing makeup
If you choose the right color, no and make sure that your skin isn't dry or flaky otherwise it's going to be noticeable.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you for your response. If I use waterproof concealer to bare skin, would it be noticeable?
@@riverboy6112 No. Just keep the points in mind that I mentioned above.
What do I use first, the moisturizer then primer or vice versa?
Moisturiser, Sunscreen and then Primer :)
Hi really struggling to find a good concealer match for blemishes, any advice?
Either Catrice or the Ordinary Concealer! :)
As someone who watches these kind of videos all the time, is it true you’ve to let the concealer set for a few minutes before blending it in?
I don't. I just apply it and then blend it evenly and then set it if needed :)
If you're using a very creamy concealer, then yes - let the spots you've applied set up for a minute or two before you start spreading it around. Use a brush.
What's the name of the products?
I used Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer and Revlon PhotoReady Candid™ Antioxidant Concealer
I'm still new to make up and i'm curious if i can also use primer before i only use my concealer?
You can but you don't have to! If you have a primer that can help to improve you skin appearance and you like it then you can use the primer, otherwise just skip it😊
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDietoh okay thanks a lot😊
I don’t know which concealer to purchase (combination skin, my under eye is super dry ) any help plz ?
I use the Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer and I have a combination skin myself and it works great! Sometimes I don't even need to set it.
Have you tried using an eye cream before applying makeup?
What concelor are you using at 4:05 what's the brand
I used Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer :)
I dont know which concealer to purchase :(((
I personally love the Catrice Liquid Camouflage concealer a lot!
What skin type do you have and how does your under eye area feel?😊
Melissa Van Dijk i have dehydrated but oily skin, i think my under eye area is pretty oily, and i need concealer just to cover my dark circles
@@aamorJJ As I've mentioned, for me - the Catrice Concealer is great! but if you want a specific shade for your under eye area - the Kryolan Dermocolor Camouflage cream foundation - which can also be use for concealer is amazing because they have so many different shades available. I use the shade D2W which has a bit of a pink/peach tone in it to cancel out the darker area under my eye. You can get them in 3 sizes, I use the smallest size which will last you for some time and it's cream - full coverage :)
mine still goes patchy and looks dry idk what to do 😭 im so awful at makeup
Hey :)
Do you usually have dry skin? If so, do you use a moisturiser before applying the concealer? If that won't solve the problem, I recommend looking for a different concealer since that one has a thicker "drier" texture :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Hii tysm for replying, yeah i use a moisturiser before and i tend to have more oily skin. im using nyx atm but idk, the tone seems too warm as well 🥲 its a mess 😭
There are different formulations on the market. Some are drier and thicker in texture whereas other ones have a thinner/lighter texture but may be a bit more "hydrating".
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ok thank you i'll defo check that out :))
Do I need to use primer?
Not necessarily no.
i do this but it just looks cakey :/ any tips
What concealer do you use? How much do you use of it?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet elf concealer, and not much. just as much as u or a bit more if it doesnt conceal enough
@@itzbloxburgbunny3919 What's your skin type?
Do you hydrate your skin well enough before applying your concealer?
Or you need to change your concealer.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet idk my skin type but i usually wash my face with toner and put lotion on before
@@itzbloxburgbunny3919 Well, figuring out your skin type can help to improve your skincare routine (cleanser, toner and moisturiser) and then following with a good concealer afterwards.
You're beautiful
Oh thank you! :)
the thing is i don't support cream or mosturizer ... but i want to make my dark undereyes disapear
what do you mean 🤔?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I can't put any cream
I hate it and rub it off
I always feel so greasy
But I can't get to blend anything in my skin to make my under eyes disappear
What cream do you use? And how much do you use of it?
There are so many creams/lotions on the market where some will have a pilling issue due to the formulation and others don't :)
Sorry, but just beautiful eyes
So basically, put concealer on ur face
yes ;)
Keep trying to find your dark circles...
I am my aunt's sister's daughter. 😀
omg ur a mua but u dont know what finger you have to use to blend concealer
I am a professional MUA, and there aren't any rules, you can use your toes if you like. Suppose that's what you prefer. 😆
Melissa Van Dijk Yes, but you are supposed to be a professional makeup artist and you should know that the finger that should be used is the ring finger because it is the one that does the least damage in an area as delicate as it is under the eyes and you, being a makeup artist, should teach that to your subscribers
@@wut9056 Sorry, I don't know what to say anymore. 🤷🏼♀️Can you please tell me where you get that information?
It does not matter what finger you are using. You can use any finger you like.
@@wut9056 all of our fingers have the same skin though? 😂
@@nutelltah4627 but not the same force
Thank you ! I don’t like heavy make up I just like basic makeup and I don’t really like foundation and I’m just starting to use makeup this did help 🫶🏼
Hey!👋
Yes, that's fine, just keep it simple. You do not need to do a full face makeup look. If you just want to use a bit of concealer, mascara and lipstick - go for it! :)
