The fact that today's men too use beauty products is well-established. Nearly 10 per cent of men use make-up once in a while. One in ten men had turned to hair removal cream or wax, while seven per cent use their partner's hair straighteners.

Concealing facial dark spots is the first step of beauty. Be it man or woman, both want to hide their freckled face. Thanks to the concealer, now men too can wipe off unwanted marks. Men's concealers can be used for acne, scars, mole and dark circles.

The concealer is not a cream, it is meant for topical coverage. The best way to apply the concealer is to dab the stick (usually all concealers come in sticks) on the effected areas. Once you dab it, blend it properly with your skin. Make use of your finger to smoothen it. If you do not want to use your fingers, tissue paper can also be used.

Men and women have different skin types, thus the concealer used by both should be different. Do not pick up your partner's concealer as it will not give you desirable results. Most concealers for men are oil based. However, if you have an acne problem, do not use oil based concealers. Opt for oil-free ones.

In the oil based concealers, the oil clogs the pores of the skin worsening the condition of the acne. You can also try the pimple concealer, that contains salicylic acid. It helps in exfoliating the dead skin, thereby facilitating the healing process of acne.

One of the leading brand for men's concealer, Men Pen offers a wide range of 17 different shades to choose from. While applying concealers two things are very important – one, choosing the right colour. It should match with your skin tone. A mismatched colour looks awful. Secondly, After applying the concealer, make sure you have nicely blended it with your skin. Do not leave patches of dabbed concealer on the skin.
