This is my first ever time using makeup. I just need some tips on how to use concealer. I also have a makeup sponge.
I'm using it to cover dark circles under my eyes and some blemishes left over from former pimples.
I do not want to use foundation. Should I just put power over it instead?
Thanks in advance! xx

You should definitely try foundation for that perfect, satin finish. In my opinion it covers a lot of imperfections on my face so makeup isn't the same without it.

Put concealer over your dark eyes and dab. For the pimples let it just sit there for a while then use it..

Apply concealer with a small concealer brush or use your finger to blend. If you don't want to use a foundation you can buy a tinted moisturiser or bb cream which will give you that polished look without a heavy coverage

I suggest dabbing concealer under your eyes and on blemishes. BB cream is a lighter then foundation and has a lot of skin benefits aswell, so you should give that a go aswell. Then just use a brush and powder to finish. Make sure that no makeup is on your eyelashes if you don't wear mascara, white eyelashes are the worst;) xx

For the dark circles you shod really make sure you are getting enough sleep and staying well hydrated. You are young an very pretty so try just using a light concealer under eyes. Ask parents to maybe see if they could take you to a dermatologist for a cream that could help. I know you were probably looking for somewhat o a different answer but I have a daughter your age :) good luck.
