My sister taught me this trick to cover sun spots in just 5 mins with 0 effort. Here’s how it works

For those looking to replicate this hack, my sister recommends a high-coverage concealer like the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer or the Tarte Shape Tape. These concealers are known for their ability to provide full coverage without feeling heavy or cakey.

She pairs this with a lightweight, medium coverage foundation such as the MAC Face and Body Foundation or the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. These foundations offer enough coverage to even out skin tone while ensuring that the skin looks natural and not overly made-up.

Before applying any makeup, it’s crucial to prep the skin properly to ensure that the makeup adheres well and lasts throughout the day. My sister’s routine involves a quick cleanse to remove any dirt or oil, followed by a light moisturizer to hydrate the skin. This step takes no more than 60 seconds.

For those with oily skin, she recommends using a mattifying primer to control shine and create a smooth canvas for the concealer and foundation. This helps in keeping the makeup in place so that touch-ups are minimal.

The dot-and-tap technique is a simple yet effective way to apply concealer only where it’s needed. Using a concealer brush or a clean fingertip, my sister dots a small amount of concealer directly onto each sun spot. Then, using a tapping motion, she gently blends the edges of the concealer into the surrounding skin.

This technique prevents the concealer from being spread too thin, ensuring maximum coverage on the spots themselves. It also avoids the cakey appearance that can happen when concealer is over-applied.
