If you hate foundation, *this* is the simple, time-saving trick you need to know about for a natural-looking base

How to use concealer as foundation.

Gone are the days when concealer was thick, gloopy and heavy. No longer just designed to cover up a spot to within an inch of its life, concealer has gone through a rebrand in recent years, in line with our need and desire to adopt fresh, glowing skin that looks natural.

And, thanks to this, concealer has taken on a new purpose—and it's great news for those who aren't hot on wearing foundation every day. Many concealers these days are serum-based and come packed with skincare ingredients. This has meant that not only are they perfect for covering dark circles under the eyes and neutralising redness on a breakout, they also can be used across the face in place of foundation.
