5. The Dot-and-Tap Technique That Targets Only Dark Spots
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.
