Cover FX – for Flawless Skin

Picked up  great beauty tip a few weeks ago at my monthly AICI meeting. The guest speaker was celebrity make-up artist Dino Dilio. Dino says the key to looking young to use a great concealer.

As we age our skins gets dull and uneven. You know, dark circles under the eyes, age spots, sun damage rising to the surface. In Hollywood make-up artists spend hours and hours carefully applying concealer, foundation and powder to make stars like Meryl Streep look like they have flawless skin.

“Concealer makes you look younger and you don’t have to wear as much color”, says Dino.

What concealer is best? Dino recommends a brand called Cover FX. It was invented by two dermatologists in Toronto to help burn patients. He advises you you choose a color 1-2 shades lighter than your foundation.

If you have redness or rosacea, then he says shade M30 from Cover FX is perfect.

I ran out an bought some and it works really well. Make sure you also get the translucent setting powder that comes with it to keep it in place.

Also, I’d suggest you use a make-up brush to apply the concealer instead of your finger, as it’s really rich in pigment and you only need a tiny bit. Just dab a tiny bit on and spread it out.
