And I have no clue how to hide them unless I found the best ever discovery on makeup and that is the Concealer. Basically, it is a makeup owned trick that hides everything even your eyebags. If you are traveling from place to place then you will know the pain of this eyebag and unwanted blemishes. Even men can have this problem too. And to hide them concealer is the best.

A lot of people don’t know that concealer is not a skin matched complexion; rather it is in different shades, these different shades neutralizes with our skin tone to give that flawless complexion. Main colors that are used widely is green, red, orange, yellow and even pink. Every color has its own way to hide a specific problem.

Concealer bases (color wheel)- Skills are very hard to gain, and in makeup war of perfection it is even harder. Every skin has its own flaw to hide; concealer is basically a mousse of colors that conceals. And to understand which one does what you need to apply it and experiment. But if you are reading this article then you will know everything about it. It is very simple as we learned in Elementary school that opposite color cancels out the other. Like green cancels the green. So if you are having red acne blemishes then green will cover it up.

This will help you know what should be used when. Now let’s discuss the other problems.

Green Concealer- as I said before green neutralizes the red. And so the color green concealer is best to use to get rid of all the redness from your face. If you are having rosacea, windburn or sunburn then the green primer will be best to conceal and correcting color. It will reduce the redness and get your skin perfect to use your favorite foundation.

Purple, lilac or lavender concealer- it is best to use on the yellowish skin tones that you may have. People with pasty, dull, yellow tones can hide it with this purple or lilac colored concealer. If you need to remove it from your entire face then you can use a lavender primer.

Pink Concealer- it is a combination of red, orange, and yellow hues, it is more like peach or salmon color which brightens the area you need, mostly used under dark eyes circles. It literally covers your raccoon eyes and gives sallow olive tones skin and brings out the radiance.

Yellow Concealer- It is best in correcting colors like blue, violet and blue-violet. It covers up the colors of veins, blue or violet bruises, under eye cycles. They can be used to bring that bright look to your face. It can also be great in the base for eyeshadow makeup.

Orange Concealers- People with lighter skin complexion should not use this color as a concealer, rather you can use it as a contour or as a bronzer. This color is perfect for the people with a darker shade to cover up the dark circles and other spots.

White concealer- If you don’t want to look like a sick old lady from a hospital then you need this to highlight the parts of your face like under the eyes, nose bridge and also the cheeks often. This will make you look highlighted with parts that really need to be to look natural.

Brown/ dark concealer- This is the need of every one. You need to contour your face or you will look like a zombie that is roaming around. Trust me! Without a contour, you will look so dull and dead that people will actually think you are sick. Dark concealer is a must in correcting color.  

Light Effects in Photoshop

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to create light effects in Photoshop.

1) Opens a new document with the 800 × 600 px, and fills the background with black.
2) Open an image that you want to add a light effect. I used this image of DaSkinnyBlackMan.

3) Using the Pen Tool, select the person in the image. When done, press Ctrl + Enter to make the selection. From the tool palette, choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool, right click on the image and select Layer via Copy. Use the Move Tool to move the person's layer in this image to the open document at the beginning.





4) Selects the Gradient Tool and uses the settings in the following image to fill the Background layer.







5) Create a new layer (Ctrl + Shfit + N), then press Ctrl + G to create a new folder and change its blending mode in Color Dodge.




6) To create a spark effect we will use the brush engine. So we can customize any brush. Select the Brush Tool , click on the icon tiled below, and then put the settings in the image. Then select the colorwhite , and uses a brush you just created to achieve an effect similar to the image below.






7) Use this tutorial to create abstract lines similar to those in the image below. These lines must be in the Light Effects folder. You can create a separate folder, but do not forget to change its blending mode inColor Dodge .


8) Create a new layer (out of the folder), then using the Lasso Tool with the settings below, make a selection as in the next image. Press D to reset the colors, then go to Filter> Render> Clouds. Change how this layer joins in Soft Light.



9) Create a new layer, press Ctrl + G to create a folder, and then change the blending mode of this folder in Color Dodge. Select the Brush Tool, choose a brush size 1px, and performs horizontal and vertical lines. Then go to Filter> Blur> Radial Blur and set the settings in the image below. Press Ctrl + J to make multiple copies of this layer, then use the Move Tool to move the layers into different parts of the image.

Now your layer palette should be similar to the one below.



10) Select the layer that contains the person (Layer 1 in the above image). Press Ctrl + J to make a copy of this layer, then copy the layer to the original layer. Click Ctrl + Click on the image of the copy layer, go to Select> Modify> Contract and set the value to 2 px. Press Ctrl + Shift + I to reverse the selection, then go to Filter> Blur> Radial Blur and use the settings in the image below. Change the linkage of this layer to the Linear Dodge and put an opacity of 60%.

Photoshop Magic For Newbies!"

 

Hi, my name is...  Fabian Barajas and I have my own photography business. I shoot digital and it's no secret that I love Photoshop. I have been using it for about 5 years now. At first I was very intimidated by it. At one point, I even uninstalled it from my computer thinking I could never learn the darn thing. I eventually reinstalled it and purchased several Photoshop Books (which had more pages than I cared to count) and searched the web for lessons that I could use and easily master.

Needless to say, my search led me down many dead-end roads. Many of the tutorials were dull and boring or simply did not apply to my photography business. It was time consu- ming to search and separate the good from the bad. I wanted to take my photos to the next level. As a result, I have often times came up with my own way of doing things in Photoshop that other so-called Photoshop experts would consider unorthodox or just plain wrong. But to me, the only thing that matters is the end result.

 

Take a good look at the images you see here. I have personally edited these photos with EASY to follow techniques that you too will learn in my new video series, "Photoshop Magic For Newbies." Just imagine mastering Photoshop in less than half the time it would take you if you were reading some long boring book If you are looking for videos on, "how to straighten out a building" or something else to that effect, you have come to the wrong place.

Make sure your images are the way the site needs, don’t use any images that are big in size. Lower sized images help to load the site faster. Resizing will help you gain more visitors, where the bigger sized image will slow down the site and then the consumers will leave the site immediately.
