No makeup bag is complete without concealer, and this one hard-working product is the secret to complexion perfection.

Yet all concealers are not created equal, and Dermablend Cover Care Full Coverage Concealer is specially formulated to provide breathable yet complete coverage in just one coat as it delivers a steady stream of hydration and waterproof, transfer-resistant wear for up to 24 hours.

Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested and deemed safe for sensitive skin, Cover Care’s vegan formula is also non-comedogenic and free of parabens, alcohol, fragrance, phthalates, triclosans and sodium lauryl sulfate.

And just a reminder… For longest-lasting Cover Care wear, set by applying Loose Setting Powder, wait two to five minutes, and then buff excess away.

Dark under-eye circles

Did you know that lack of sleep isn’t the only cause of dark circles, and that genetics, allergies and aging can be to blame? Regardless of cause, Cover Care is safe for delicate skin around the eyes and instantly neutralizes the appearance of darkness while brightening the entire eye area. Use a shade or two lighter than your foundation for a highlighting effect, and simply dot under the eye from the inner corner to the outer corner with the point of the wand and blend toward the bridge of the nose with your ring finger, brush or sponge. Dermablend Pro Tips: Quick blending yields the most natural-looking coverage, so work on one eye at a time instead of going back and forth—and you can boost under-eye brightness even more by setting with our Illuminating Banana Powder.

Acne blemishes

Concealer is key for camouflaging blemishes as they heal, so a non-comedogenic formula is essential to prevent clogged pores that contribute to future breakouts. Cover Care’s long-lasting matte finish also helps keep the shine associated with oily skin at bay, and the hydrating formula can help offset any dryness caused by anti-acne treatments. When using Cover Care to conceal blemishes, it’s best to use the wand to transfer product to the back of your hand (in order to prevent contamination) before applying to blemishes with your fingertip or a concealer brush. Dermablend Pro Tips: Place concealer along the edges of the blemish and allow product to dry for five seconds before blending with your ring finger or a damp makeup sponge. If coverage slips or doesn’t grip, prep the skin with Insta-Grip Jelly Primer and allow concealer to dry completely before blending just the edges.

Dark spots and discoloration

Past pimples, sun damage and skin conditions such as melasma can all lead to stubborn spots and patches of discoloration. The high-performance pigments found in Color Care’s 16 true-to-tone shades allow for natural-looking coverage that conceals all types of discoloration and leaves skin with a flawless, even finish. For optimal application, use the angled side of the doe-foot and place concealer over the edges of the target area. Wait for the product to dry before blending the edges inward with your ring finger or a damp makeup sponge. Dermablend Pro Tips: Choose a concealer color that’s the closest march to your foundation shade for seamless coverage.

Birthmarks

Dermablend’s array of complexion-coverage options includes products that can cover birthmarks like port wine stains (if you so choose). While a full-coverage foundation may be the best option for larger birthmarks, Cover Care concealer can provide the ideal level of waterproof, long-lasting camouflage for smaller birthmarks when a full face of makeup isn’t desired, or if extra coverage if needed after applying foundation. For the most natural-looking finish, apply Cover Care over the entire birthmark, and blend only the edges with your ring finger or makeup sponge once the product has dried down. Dermablend Pro Tips: When selecting a Cover Care shade to cover birthmark such as a port wine stain, opt for one with red undertones to mimic the natural blood flow of the skin and create a realistic, seamless blend with surrounding skin.

Injectable bruising

Post-injectable bruising happens, but there’s no reason for the world to know. If you find yourself with black-and-blue marks after getting filler or neurotoxin injections, Cover Care makes it’s easy to keep discoloration under wraps until it subsides. In most cases, your under-eye concealer shade will be the best fit so there’s no need to buy anything new. Dermablend Pro Tips: When concealing post-injectable bruising, it’s important to be mindful about applying extra pressure to the affected areas. For this reason, it’s best to transfer concealer from the tube to the back of your hand before tapping product onto bruised skin with your ring finger and blending gently.

Tattoos

Tattoos may be a form of self-expression, there may come a time when you want to keep them to yourself. In this event, Quick-Fix Concealer comes to the rescue. Perfect for smaller tattoos (less than six inches), this perfectly-portable stick-based concealer is ideal for tattoo and other coverage touch-ups when you’re on the go. Dermablend Pro Tips: For maximum 16-hour wear, set concealer with Loose Setting Powder by applying a generous layer and leaving it on for two minutes before buffing excess off with a fluffy powder brush.
