To make the whole skin look evenly toned, apply a concealer according to your skin complexion. Put it on red or dark spots to hide them. A flat and small concealer brush should be used on blemishes while it should be applied with fingers under the eye. Do not apply in large quantity or on the whole face as it will make you look fake.
