Annette O'Brien Makeup Artist

I’m delighted to have contributed to a recent beauty feature in the .ie , focusing on one of the questions I’m asked most often: how to apply concealer beautifully on mature skin. ✨

In the feature, I shared my tips on getting the most from your concealer — including where to apply it, how much to use and, most importantly, how to blend it so that it looks fresh and natural rather than settling into fine lines.

And if you’ve ever wondered exactly what that looks like in practice, this reel shows you! 🎥

The key with mature skin is often less is more. A small amount of product, placed strategically and blended carefully, can brighten the complexion without adding unnecessary texture.

If you’d like to read the full feature, you’ll find the link on my Stories.

I’ve also written a more in-depth post on my blog, where I go into even more detail about concealer application for mature skin. You can find it on my website: www.annetteobrienmakeup.com

I’d love to know — do you struggle with concealer settling into fine lines? Let me know in the comments. 💕
