Solid concealer has a thick solution and therefore you have to be very careful while applying it near the eyes. If you are to apply some concealer on or near the eyes, solid concealer should not be used.
Liquid Concealer: Liquid concealer is perhaps regarded as the most common and most friendly to any skin. Liquid concealer comes as a solution and therefore it can be applied to your face or skin by hands. It is not regarded harmful for the skin and eyes; however, make sure it does not get in to direct contact with the eyes. Otherwise, it works fine for covering dark circles or any scars.
Lipstick/Stick Concealer: Lipstick concealer has become one of the most important parts of ever womans make up first aid kit. This is the easiest to apply. It comes as a lipstick, and can be readily applied to the affected area. This is however recommended for urgent need at parties or social gatherings.
