How to conceal puffiness You need: highlighter + liquid concealer
How to apply: While you can't cover up puffiness, Dedivanovic says there is a trick you can do with concealer to make it less noticeable. Mix a liquid concealer with a tiny bit of highlighter, and dab it where you're puffy. Then blend the highlighter into your crease, which will help reflect light and give the effect of smooth skin. We recommend E.L.F. Studio Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter, $3.

I absolutely loved the idea of running a sponge under water, squeezing the water out, dipping into loose powder, then dabbing over the area to set the concealer. I am totally going to try this out.

Does anyone know where to get the velour puff brush Mario mentions in the article. I can find velour puffs but not a brush. He says to use it with your loose powder instead of a raw material brush. Cant find a velour puff brush and need help

Great information. One formula for concealer doesn't cut it for multiple issues. Neither is just one technique. So glad to see that represented here.
