Pro Concealer Application Tips
For Dark Circles: Choose a shade 1–2 tones lighter than the skin to brighten the under-eye area. Apply in a triangle shape, blend gently with a damp sponge for a natural finish.
For Redness and Pimples: Peach or yellow undertones neutralize reds and blues; opt for Pro Palette’s correcting shades or a warmer shade of The One Concealer. Pat, don’t rub—use fingers, brush, or sponge for seamless coverage.
Blemishes & Pigmentation: Spot-conceal directly on the problem area after foundation; blend out edges but keep pigment concentrated at the center. For stubborn spots, layer concealer and set with translucent powder (like Camera Finish Loose Powder.
Long-wear & Crease Prevention: Always set with a light dusting of powder for maximum longevity, especially around eyes and nose. Tap under the eyes with a fingertip at the end of makeup application to fuse concealer and foundation.
Colour Correcting: Use green-toned correctors for redness and yellow for underlying purples—Pro Palette’s blendable tones excel for these purposes. Always apply concealer after foundation for the most natural effect.
Concealer Ingredient Highlights & Skin Benefits
The ingredient profiles and skin benefits of Napoleon Perdis concealers are thoughtfully crafted for both performance and care. Across the entire range, Vitamin E is a staple—providing potent antioxidant protection while delivering much-needed hydration to the skin, making these concealers suitable even for mature or sensitive complexions. For those who reach for the Pro Palette Concealer+, Caffeine stands out as a powerhouse ingredient that helps to depuff under the eyes and stimulate microcirculation, resulting in a fresher, more rested appearance. Meanwhile, the inclusion of Squalane and Vitamins C & E helps to further hydrate the skin, soften texture, and brighten uneven tone over time. Adding to these benefits, the Napoleon Perdis collection features paraben-free, vegan options and a diverse selection of shades, embracing inclusivity and modern skincare values.

The Pro Palette Concealer+ is versatile enough for more than just correcting—it also excels at contouring and highlighting by blending its lighter and deeper shades.
